![]() ![]() ![]() Jason Aaron achieves a meaningful story for Thor but gives Gorr, the villain of the piece, both the motivation and the means for accomplishing his vile mission. This 11-issue arc is, hands down, a masterpiece of comics. It creates such a large myth, such a grand legend that anything further would just dilute its grandeur, its greatness. This really does seem like the be-all/end-all for what can and should be done with the character. I would be quite happy to never read another Thor story again, thank you very much. There wasn't anything that more Thor could deliver that would improve upon what the one-two knockout punch of "The God Butcher" and "Godbomb" delivered. I didn't want more Thor, despite having a mammoth collection of issues 12-25 beside me. I don't know that I've ever been so satisfied by a story arc as I was with this one. Well, gods-damn does it ever follow through. "The God Butcher", volume 1 of Thor: God of Thunder, was so very, very epic that, in waiting to retrieve the next volume from my father-in-law, I began to have doubts that it could follow through. ![]()
