How many have checked out Thor #4 yet? I must say it's continuing the build-up of events since his return quite well, with some coverage of things never before done that and left forgotten or ignored all this time, particularly his heritage on his mother's side. After all Thor's the son of Gaia, the goddess of the Earth and who likely predates Odin's existence, one of only a few primal gods still in existence yet it's always been his heritage through his father that's been considered. Seeing him reaching into his blood to access what talents he's inherited from his mother is quite nice and helping to round him out as well as expand on his full potential.
However as he was such a daddy's boy always seeking Odin's approval and neglecting his mother I hope we'll see him interacting more with Gaia for a change and his heritage on her side. She could teach him a great deal after all, expose him to mysteries long forgotten and even give him some aid in his quest to restore his other family.
I am curious though where we'll find the Enchantress and Loki, something that I think might work best if they give some hints to them in other titles since whatever humans that they merged with would have to be top notch and far more noticable and established than the other gods. I also wonder what happened to Red Norvell (other than being forgotten again), whether he's still around and alive or dead what's up with his hammer, since being identical to Thor's could conceivably empower someone else previously unknown with the power of Thor. It also leaves the question would Thor being in possession of both hammers have enhanced power or would the other hammer not really add to his mystical might any.
