I'm hoping your "Thor ain't in his right mind" comment is not true -- I'm hoping this is just a "bad dream" part of the story being used as teaser material. This Thor isn't doing anything noble or heroic, two hallmarks of the character through the ages. Yes, I have heard that he's been under a little duress to put it mildly, but this isn't what should happen (and certainly on this level over something like a registration act). I think if you look to a parallel story "The Death of Superman", Superman returned and saved the day -- not destroyed it. That was noble and that was heroic.
But alas, Marvel continues to seek to destroy my definition of a hero. Sure, their heroes have always had flaws, but never has there been a time when more of their characters have had their worlds shaken all at the same time... This seems a little overkill.

Agree with you, D.
This Thor looks quite a lot overaggressive. However hopefully it will be explained somehow.

There was a discussion Thor was actually Sentry, don't know if you guys saw it... my take on Thor was he would always follow Cap's lead wherever he went..
Where have the Defenders been in all of this? These guys seem to be the heavy hitters that are missing. Dr. Strange, Namor, The Hulk are all people who seem like they are in agreement with Cap's side and any of those dudes are capable of keeping Thor's hands full by themselves. Would this be the team that comes back in issue 4?
I'll be a little peeved if they are just talking about "the Mighty Avengers". There wouldn't be much of a surprise there.
As far as the death goes, maybe Cap, if that's possible, or maybe one of the Four.

This is a cut-and-paste from X-World, and internet comics shop that does weekly reviews. I do not know the reviewer's name, but I thought his comments were interesting as they go with some of the comments around here:
Civil War #4 (Of 7), $2.99, 32 Pages. Written by Mark Millar, Art by Steve McNiven and Dexter Vines. I have been back and forth on Civil War for a while, but I think I have finally decided that I don't like it. Not that the story isn't a good idea - it just seems like the whole story is being skipped in favor of action and cheap sensationalism. I wanted to see more meat in the debates leading to the registration act - more time for suspicion and distrust to brew before just having heroes fight. Character and character development are crucial for any great story, and Civil War just isn't believable in that respect. Thankfully, their other event series, Annihilation, is making up for that in spades.

I think Strange teleported away when approached by Registration folks. Namor, who doesn’t currently live in the United States, had an appearance in one of Wolverine’s comics and is apparently slated to appear later in Civil War itself. The Hulk is off planet. So is the Silver Surfer. Nighthawk has been appearing in Thunderbolts in a cosmic contest between the Baron Zemo and the Grandmaster. Hellcat was registered by the She-Hulk in the latter’s series. |

Phantom, you are a poor man's George Olschevsky, to say the least.
