This story promises a team-up of the female version of The Mighty Thor and the original version, known these days as The Unworthy Thor.
And it sorta kinda delivers, as it tells a story from hundreds of years ago, as a small armada of Vikings decide to plunder Ancient Egypt, for no logical reason I can discern.
When they run up against an ancient power, they call on Thor to help - but instead the get two Thors in the bargain.
I have no idea why M.T. is traveling through time (and I haven't picked up any of the other Generations books, so no help there).
And sadly she's running into Thor before he is able to wield the hammer Mjolnir, so he's shocked to find someone else doing it with ease.
It's actually fun story by Jason Aaron with strong artwork by Mahmud Asrar (though they've forgotten that, in the Marvel Universe, Odin's eyepatch is a recent acquisition).
But the story doesn't seem to accomplish much beyond bringing the two Thors together.
That's nice, but it feels a bit thin (in emotional content, though not page count) for a comic that costs five bucks.
Grade: B+
