Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic deliver another great issue with the second issue of Thor: God of Thunder. Jason Aaron handles the dialogue very well without slipping into the Shakespearean speak and has begun to craft a story that truly feels epic in scope.
The majority of this issue focuses on "young" Thor as he travel to what will someday be Russia with a group of Vikings.While crossing the sea, we see a figure in the fog who comments that he can smell Thor's "godflesh" and begins to follow the viking ship in the hopes of Thor leading him to other gods.
Once they shipped has docked, the river people begin boasting over their gods and the protection from the vikings that they will bring. A flying steed covered in blood soars down and the river people identify it as Peruns horse. Thor mounts the horse and flies off to find what has happened to these gods but as he reaches the clouds he sees another decapitated god. The God Butcher reveals himself and the battle begins.
Esad makes the God Butcher look terrifying, the flying steeds gorgeous, and Thor like a warrior born. What more could you ask for?
