Thor: God of Thunder, Volume 1: The God Butcher by Jason Aaron
4.0
Aside from a few moments of utter confusion this comic was incredibly entertaining.
Someone or something is running around murdering gods leaving their corpses with faces frozen in terror. Thor has made it his personal mission to hunt down and destroy this 'God Butcher' in order to avenge those who have died, protect Asgard, and ultimately, to save himself.
There are three different time periods with a younger pre-hammer Thor, a current Thor, and a very very old Odin-looking Thor. The change in time was not always noted and the younger pre-hammer Thor looked very similar to the current Thor.
Once I got my mythologies and time periods straight the plot was easier to follow. I love the idea that there is someone running around trying to kill all the immortals in every world.
Overall, the art was smooth and the story was exciting and engaging. This was a quick read partly because it is such a fast-paced page turner. The story has a few dark and violent moments but also a few glimpses of heart and humor. I especially loved the librarian in Omnipotence City!
