Thor: God of Thunder, Vol. 1: The God Butcher by Jason Aaron, Esad Ribić
5.0
Thor: God of Thunder Volume 1 by Jason Aaron is a fantastic read. While the characters that are contained within are clearly Marvel characters (with a brief appearance from Iron Man and mentions of the Avengers), this book reads more like something written for Image Comics.
It's a dark and gritty murder mystery, set in three time periods following a young pre-Mjolnir wielding Thor raiding and pillaging with the Vikings, the current day Avenger Thor we all know and love and an Old Man Thor who is King of Asgard and the last God. Each of these time periods unravel the true horror of the mysterious God Butcher and his treacherous acts. Featuring brutal fight scenes, torture and vicious murders in every issue, this is one of the most gritty Marvel comics I have read outside of Alias and Punisher Max and is quite simply brilliant!
