Historical Significance Rating: 3 - Thor becomes a frog, first Puddlegulp and GreensongĬhronological Placement Considerations: Last issue ended with Thor being transformed into a frog, and this begins soon afterwards, with Thor not having left the alley where his goat wagon was parked.

Not that this story, which depicts a war between the frogs and rats of Central Park, isn't also epic.īoth Puddlegulp and Greensong will have several more appearances, with Puddlegulp eventually becoming Throg, the Frog of Thunder, for the Pet Avengers.

This is true even when Thor isn't a frog (the McBurgers during the Surtwar, Beta Ray Bill's references to his "secret identity", and of course Volstagg), but these three issues exemplify this side of things. It's easy to think of Walt Simonson's run on Thor as being awesomely epic (which is true) and forget that there's also a lot of lightheartedness and humor as well.
