This story starts with Thor doing some rare “street work,” saving a woman who is about to get hit by a car. Then, pages later, The Wrecking Crew escape from prison and kill her (albeit by accident).
This coincidence leads Thor to them, and he beats their asses. He defeats Wrecking by short-circuiting him.
This is a one-off power set.
As Donald Blake, he’s rebuilding his practice.
Keith Pollard is definitely not my favorite Thor artist, but he’s not bad.
