![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He wears more traditional viking clothing and has yet to prove worthy to wield the mighty Mjolnir and instead he holds the vicious axe Jarnbjorn (seen also in Uncanny Avengers). Young Thor is brash, arrogant, and quick to anger. However, that’s just how Jason Aaron kicks things off opening the story with a flashback to Thor’s impetuous youth. ![]() It’s a bold move opening a series with a character stripped of his iconic vestiges. With the opening arc of Thor: God of Thunder, The God Butcher, that need is met quite handily. I desperately miss the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning take on cosmic Marvel and while today’s cosmic Marvel series, Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy, are entertaining both have been far too involved with Earth-based Marvel heroes to really sate my need for the the weird stuff. I absolutely love the weird “out-there” material of Marvel Comics and there isn’t nearly quite enough of it on the shelves to sate my hunger for it. I feel I should almost preface this bit of reviewing by saying that I love almost anything that throws together the words Marvel and Cosmic. I finally managed to request the first two Thor: God of Thunder trades, The God Butcher and Godbomb, for the library and man Jason Aaron and Essad Ribic absolutely live up the litany of great writers and artists of yore. I’ve been a fan of the Thor comics for a while but with all these so-called “adult” responsibilities I’ve had little chance to really keep up with today’s comics. ![]()
