![]() ![]() ![]() He battles the God Butcher in 894, in the present day, and again in the distant future when Thor sits alone in an empty Asgard cut off from the world, now resembling Odin visually and in terms of personality. ![]() He’s very successful, possessing mystical technology against which few gods stand a chance, and the way Aaron shows this is by reminding us that Thor, by human standards at least, is immortal. That’s down to the plotting lapses in what was originally published as Godbomb.īefore then everything runs beautifully, Aaron with Esad Ribić introducing the threat of the God Butcher, a being who so resents the very idea of gods, he’s determined to wipe them all out, no matter who believes in them. This bulky paperback collection combines the first three Thor trades written by Jason Aaron, and while his reputation on the title is rightly solid gold, if plotted on a graph, the quality level of this material is two peaks separated by a bit of a dip. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this game, there are hearts and lives at stake-and there is nothing more Hawthorne than winning.
