As a previous reviewer stated, in the mid-90s, Thor had it a bit rough in terms of creative teams and storyarcs. With Worldengine, writer Warren Ellis (the then up and coming creator of Transmetropolitan, as well as writer of countless other beloved titles) attempted to restore some of the classic mythological aspects of the Thor mythos to the title while keeping things somewhat grounded in the traditional superhero slug-fest world.
This short 4 issue story was originally printed in 1995 but since then both Thor and Warren Ellis have become a lot more popular so even if the story is quite poor and stuck in that overly-campy way of telling superhero stories some comic series were stuck in back in the 90s, it'll probably sell a few copies just by association.It's actually quite a poor quality story both in terms of writing and drawing.
In the mid to late nineties the Avengers had it really rough; the flagship Avengers book was full of second stringers and selling badly, Iron Man had some good stories before (such as the creation of War Machine) Captain America was in the throes of mediocrity (soon to be reenergized by Mark Waid & Ron Garney´s run) but over all things were not looking good for the franchise. And then there was Thor.
