ithianna's review against another edition

Reading Marvel Thor is always a mixed bag for me. I usually enjoy the art and the story, but as a pagan, it always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Marvel's really bad at not being mythologically correct.
Esad Ribic is, without question, one of my favorite artists. Period. End of discussion.
The story itself is really good writing, I want to see more Thor in the Viking age, writers.
I just...I'm not really sure how I liked it. Reading it felt like blasphemy.
Really well drawn, articulated blasphemy.
It'd be blasphemy to pretty much any religion, actually. Because the God Butcher kills gods in some really horrifying ways.
I'm hoping the next entry involves Thor time traveling back to where Gorr started killing gods and kills him before he destroys anybody's pantheon.

I haven’t read much, if any, Thor. So I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. This book is really tied at the Mjolnir with the second volume, so I’ll just say one thing about this book: Watching the God Butcher kill all the gods made me appreciate how localized, and thus myriad, gods are.

I reread this, for maybe the 3rd time, this week. It is simply one of my favorite comic books in general and Thor books in particular.

La forma en que está contada esta historia tiene mucho peso en la forma en que se percibe el peligro en la misma. A pesar de las diferentes épocas en que Thor y Gorr se encuentran se siente un peligro inminente de que las cosas pueden terminar mal para el héroe. Jason Aaron siempre cumple y esta vez, acompañado por el maravilloso arte de Esad Ribic logran una historia que de verdad se siente épica, se siente importante.

Con lo poco que he leído de Jason Aaron parecería a priori un tipo perfecto para escribir a Thor. Leer el primer volumen de esta saga Thor: God of Thunder ayuda a confirmar prejuicios. Redescubrir a Thor en su faceta más interesante: la de dios, miembro de un panteón y un conjunto de seres similares a lo largo y ancho del universo. Volver al aspecto cósmico dentro del universo Marvel pero sin adentrarse en quilombos de Krulls, Skree y la mar en coche. Hay por supuesto puentes a viejos conocidos pero es un viaje intimista a las cualidades que hacen de Thor el dios del trueno.
