Comments: Taranis and Donar are locked in a battle in outer space against a massive beast. The fight ends abruptly when a gigantic ship approaches the two gods, a marvel of wondrous proportions.
An alien giant emerges, having snatched up the two gods and now confronting them directly. The alien being is immense, towering over them.
The two Thunder Gods are drawn in a simple, basic style. The art is almost cartoonish.
The gods give it their all as they attack the alien giant, unleashing their full might. The Eternal reacts, and the build-up to this moment is handled well. Unfortunately, the battle itself is anticlimactic. It needed more excitement, and the fights should have had a clear winner.
Overall, this book is boring. Despite featuring two powerful Thunder Gods and an alien of immense power, the characters are not used effectively.
The scene in which the two gods join together to pool their powers and strike as one has a strong, concise build-up, supported by a good illustration of the power being unleashed.
