The Unworthy Thor, Issue #4 is the penultimate issue of Jason Aaron's series that perhaps will return the original Thor, now known as Odinson, back to power in the Marvel universe. To become so, he must find the second Mjolnir, which along with the entire realm of Asgard has been taken by a being known simply as the Collector. Interspersed in this drama are scenes from Thor's childhood, when he was still unable to lift Mjolnir. The question remains: when Odinson finds the second Mjolnir, will he be able to lift it?
That question will be answered in Issue #5, the final issue of The Unworthy Thor. In my previous review, of Doctor Strange/The Punisher: Magic Bullets, Issue #3, I talked about the Golden Mean structure of a good series. This series has it as well, with the climax coming at the end of Issue #3, with the return of Thanos's Elders of the Universe and Thor finally concocting a solid plan for getting at Mjolnir. This issue puts that plan into action, ending with a cliffhanger, leading to the ultimate issue.
