This was an awesome ending to the God Butcher storyline. I'm very impressed. I started the first volume with low expectations because I've never really found Thor an intriguing character. But after reading Thor: God of Thunder, Vol. 1: The God Butcher and finishing this volume, I love Thor (this version of him anyway, because sometimes they make him seem really stupid and selfish).I find Gorr the God Butcher one of the most compelling comic villains I have ever read. His anger against the gods i...

The origin of Gorr the God Butcher is revealed. His family died trusting in gods that couldn't be bothered to help. So Gorr has devised his own plan with the help of time travel. He created a godbomb to annihilate every god who ever has and ever will live across all time in an instant.The only thing left standing in his way are three Thors from different time periods.Godbomb was a good conclusion to the tale of Gorr the God Butcher. It's easy to see why Gorr turned out to be the way he was and h...

This is Thor at his Hulking best (for lack of a better explanation/an easy reference). Though I haven't read Vol. 1 (my library does this very odd thing of ordering books out of sequence...GRRRRRR) I found that I was able to pick this right up and not be lacking for much info.Gorr is a man who questions the Gods, and when bad shit befalls him, like any sane person would, he loses faith, and takes it to the extreme. He wants to kill all the Gods so men can and will stand on their own. I actually

There are some really great ideas here. The three Thors, past, present, and future, joining forces to defeat Gorr. Thor's granddaughters. The godbomb itself, that will, once exploded, entirely destroy all deities across the universe, forwards and backwards in time. And I like the mythic feel of the narration. I love seeing Thor as an actual god.But I still find Gorr less than convincing as a villain. He's definitely a genuine threat, I don't argue that. But his motivation is almost painfully cli...

Wow! Just wow! This is my new favorite series! And that's the first time I've said that about Marvel, coming from a diehard DC boy. Jason Aaron (with Esad Ribic's stunning illustrations) has created a mind blowing and balanced tale of epic violence and existential contemplation. Gorr's tale and motivation is a classic revenge story but new with a twist of deep existentialism. That fury that we as humans (or creatures, in his case) have for a higher power when we suffer tragedy. As if we are unri...

Two words: Hel yea!Also:(view spoiler)[Thor is a badass. (hide spoiler)]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

This was an epic one and it starts off with the origins of Gorr and its an emotional and explains why he hates gods and then we see his plan to detonate Godbomb in the far future through time to make sure no gods are formed and its an epic team up between Thor the Viking, Thor the Avenger and King Thor. And its bloody and beautiful and they are defeated at first but they come together when revelations are to be had and when a final face off happens and I just love that part! Plus the lessons the...

Gorr is an asshole, but a believable one. Forged in the crucible of cruel fate, he makes enough sense that this story isn't just an excuse for Thor to man up. Speaking of which, I've always wondered at these superhero physiques - especially the divine ones. Does Thor lift? He's got those ridiculous garden hose veins on his bicep, like what you see when Hugh Jackman went nuts getting 'cut' for the last Wolverine movie. Compare:Jackman only got that way through some extreme jacking and day-before-...

Gorr lived in a tribe that firmly believed in gods. He believed that the gods punished their followers more than they deserved by drying up their world. This planted the seed for his hatred of the gods, leading to his tribe casting him out. Wondering in the desert alone, wishing for death, a thing falls from the sky next to him. The thing was actually two gods already weakened from fighting each other. Gorr accuses them of inaction when his family needed them. He unleashes his fury on them using...

This is both an epic and simple read with a resounding story and gorgeous art. I totally recommend it even if you aren't even a Thor fan because it might just turn you into one.Simple, I say, but across all time, all gods, three out-of-time Thors, and a God Butcher, we even get to see the birth of a certain massively over-powered sword. One, I believe, we got to see at the end of a recent Marvel movie. Suffice to say, I'm even more thrilled than ever. Just.. wow. I can't wait to see where this w...

Gorr, the God Butcher, builds a bomb designed to travel back in time and kill all gods. The present day Thor and the All-Father Thor united to stop him. But can two, or even three, thunder gods be enough?Wow. The three Thors vs. the Butcher of Gods. It reminded me quite a bit of the Elric tales when multiple versions of the Eternal Champion would team up against some huge menace. Whereas the first volume was mostly setup, this one was all payoff, like a porno that's entirely money shots.Aaron br...

Guess I'm all alone here, but I just didn't think Godbomb was all that great.I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 2, because I can't get my hands on Thor: God of Thunder #1...so maybe I just didn't understand what was going on in this volume. Maybe volume 1 was stuffed full of awesomesauce? Also, I'm not a fan of Thor in Asgaard. I like the Avenger version, not the one where he does all the viking stuff. So three time-traveling Thors try to stop an alien who is trying to kill all of the gods. I foun...

"Thor...hear my prayer. Hear the prayer of Odin. Do not fall, my son. Be the savior of us all. Be the God of Gods." The story of the God Butcher concludes, and what a journey it has been. The first issue in this volume gives the readers a glimpse of the man that Gorr once was. It justifies his actions to a little extent, but as the story progresses, the readers start seeing the madness in him.This story is about the haughty Thor, the mature Thor and the All-Father Thor all coming together to

The second volume collection of the continuing God-Butcher epic/murder mystery is Godbomb which revealed the accumulation of all of the villain Gorr's plan from the beginning ever since he started his personal crusade of wiping out every living god in existence. Comprised of issues 6-11, Godbomb has all the essential elements to increase the stakes and fairly conclude this arc, and some of its important parts did manage to deliver a solid ending; but there are details across said issues that mak...

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first. Maybe the nostalgia factor got worn down a bit. I still had fun and still have a hold on book three but I wasn't blown over this time around. Still, plenty of beer and women to make for a Viking good time.

Yea and I did look upon thy second tome of Thor, God Of Blunders, and I was not well pleased to see logic and common sense has forsaken this story and Scribe Aaron is determinedly taking thine piss! Ok I’m gonna stop talking like that because I can’t keep it up. But yeah, this one isn’t good. I did read the first volume and had numerous problems with it, but fans of the series told me, no dude, you’re only seeing half of the complete story - you’ve got to read the second volume to get how awefri...

Voldemort Jr. is back. This time he goes up against three Thor’s.Three! Count them! Three!! Thors from different timelines trying to defuse the Godbomb.There’s old man Thor (“Hey, you frost giant kids, keep off of my rainbow bridge!”) from the future.Present day Avenger Thor and young buck, raging hormone Thor from the past, who does all his thinking with Lil’ Mjolnir.Avenger Thor gets to try to smash the God Bomb with two Mjolnirs. Two! Count ‘em, two!Before all that happens we get Voldemort Jr...

And here is the conclusion of the godbomb story arc. Good storytelling but a little too neat in the way it was wrapped up. The art is phenomenal and Ribic has quickly become one of my favourite artists. This is definitely worth your time if you want a good Thor story.

I admit I was surprised a few times when reading the story of this volume. Volume 1 is just for preparations, the main dining experience is on Volume 2. Three Thors are dazzling!I would give it 4 star rating if not for the epilogue.

3 1/2 StarsThis series continues to be a page turner as the three different Thors converge into one timeline to take on Gorr the Butcher of Gods.Despite having some issues with how 'time travel' is handled in this story, I enjoyed it. At one point 'Young Thor' says that he is the only one to have beaten Gorr twice and 'Old Thor' adds that he is also the only one to be captured twice, this does not make sense. If something happens to 'Young Thor' it would be a part of all of their pasts. Another
