The God Butcher by
4.0
"...And this is how it ends. With blood and thunder. With hammer and sword. With one last stand at the gates of heaven."
Got hooked in the first issue. The art is something to behold. Haven't read many Thor stories, but artwise [b:Thor: Season One|17824744|Thor Season One|Matthew Sturges|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1379901326s/17824744.jpg|24934346] has always been my favorite. Now this has taken the top spot.
The story takes place in the past, the present and the future, where we see the Thunder God in different stages of his life, trying to solve the murders of gods of different pantheons and then confronting the killer, Gorr the God Butcher.
There are moments in the book when it feels like a horror story. When Thor enters Gorr's cave a millenium later and thinks about how he was taught fear in that place, I was like "Don't go in there, don't go in there."
The story doesn't end here though, and as I write this and move on to read the next volume, I can't help thinking, "Why does evil have no nose?"
