THE DARK PRISON OF DONALD BLAKE! For years Doctor Donald Blake has wandered a land far from Midgard, the place he once thought home. Now he has returned to the Ten Realms — but it is not the place it was, nor he the man who once shared a body with a god. New terrors await in what is perhaps Donny Cates’ darkest story yet!
I’m am so glad that this book has turned around. So far, this arc is much better than the first with Galactus. Donald Blake is on the loose and he is coming after everyone.
Longstanding fans of Thor and his series are probably more than familiar with the character known as Donald Blake. Yet they are in for quite the surprise, thanks to the events in Thor #10. This continues the plot started in issue #9, and it looks like things are about to get so much worse for our hero and his allies.
If you don’t know who Donald Blake is, don’t worry. You’ll see be able to enjoy this arc just fine – the series makes a point of explaining the important details. All that might happen is that you have slightly less of an impact than other readers.
I’m going to take a quick minute, to be honest with everyone here. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from Donny Cates taking over the writing for Thor. After all, it has been a long time since anyone other than Jason Aaron wrote for his character.
With all that in mind, I just want to say that so far, this plot arc is blowing me away. It’s taken the series from something that was interesting and turned it into something groundbreaking. More than that, it has successfully gained my full and complete attention.
Donald Blake defeats Beta Ray Bill, Lady Sif, and the rest of Asgard’s warriors. He takes lady sif’s sword, and has moved all of Asgard with him, leaving those he fought stuck in dimension blood.
Thor is wandering the streets of Blake’s fantasy suburban. He runs into Jormungand, Midgard serpent. He tried to team up with Donald Blake, but Blake stole his power, making him have the power of both his Odin force and the dragon.
Issue ends with Blake meeting up with Jane Foster in a hospital

Eh, this one didn’t do anything for me. I wasn’t familiar with Donald Blake till reading this series, so maybe that’s why I’m indifferent. This whole issue felt like an obvious and unnecessary continuation of the last page of #9. But now he’s going after Dr. Foster, so there’s that to look forward too, I guess.
