Review/plot:
Pluto has found out that Thor is not in his right mind, so he figures that now is a good time to recruit Ares to go fight him.

But, yeah, no, it's not a good time to do that.

Love it.

Pluto flees to Zeus at the end to convince him that Thor attacked Ares unprovoked.

Meanwhile, aware that succumbing to the Warrior's Madness means eternal banishment, Sif does her best to hide from Odin the fact that Thor's gone mad.

These last three issues of Thor are the first since issue 400 that you have given a B grade to. I also find them entertaining.
