"Thor battles to save Earth, but who can he fight when the planet itself is dying? S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Roz Solomon has a suggestion: the world's most nefarious energy company, Roxxon, and its ruthless new CEO, "the Minotaur!" Has Thor met his match in the form of a multi nati onal super-corporation? Meanwhile, millennia from now, a future Thor faces a very different battle to save what remains of the earth - from Galactus! King Thor and the Goddesses of Thunder are all that stand between Galactus and the planet he's been dying to eat for a very long time. But even if Thor wins, is the Earth sti ll doomed? And in the present, Thor makes a final stand against the Minotaur, Ulik the Troll and Roxxon's forces - but not even a god can save everyone."--Back cover.

This one I couldn't wait for it to end.. it wasn't fun and it became a chore to read midway through the whole thing. 

Some nice panels and some nice bits here and there but overall boring and way too long of a dragged out story than it should be.

Artwork was amazing ofc but couldn't save it for all its worth.

This ended the "Thor: God of Thunder " series quite well, leading us into the much beloved "The Mighty Thor Series" (where we see Jane Foster taking up Mjolnir). This was much better than Vol.3 which I found to be a little bit boring and to be lacking substance. In Vol.4, Thor is totally committed to safeguarding the Earth. This is the Thor I find most endearing. 

In this collected story arc from “Thor God of Thunder,” readers slip from current times to the distant future in “The Last Days of Midgard.”In current times, Thor and SHIELD battle a corporate CEO with mystical powers who wishes to make a buck at the expense of the environment (I loved the political critique here). Writer Jason Aaron and a team of artists make the contemporary story fairly compelling. But it is the integration of the tale from the future where Aaron and the artists sing. The future, as grim as it is for the world, makes the entire collected storyline a joy. In the far-flung future, Earth is a barren ball orbiting the sun but old Thor, now a maimed old grandfather, cannot let the planet go. This is heartbreaking stuff. He is sworn to protect Earth even when its people, animals and plant-life are gone. But it still has its resources, which attract the starving devourer of worlds, Galactus. Yes, old Thor battles an emaciated Galactus for the fate of battered Midgard and in the end, Thor wins, only to rename parts of the Earth after close friends (such as "Steve" as in Captain America). I found vol. 4 to be emotionally resonant, action packed, funny, and touching, especially Thor's love for earth. 

If only we mere mortals loved our planet the way some Gods do.
