I'm a total sucker for interesting structures, and on that account this issue doesn't quite live up to the first. There's a little bit of time-shifting going on here, but for the most part this issue follows the younger Thor - my least favourite iteration - in his first encounter with the God Butcher. Said Butcher is a creepy looking beastie who pretty much earns my undying enmity by killing the pretty horse. (I don't mind that he smacks around young Thor nearly as much. Characters that up themselves deserve a good smacking.) There's no stand-out moment here as with the hanged gods in issue 1, but it's still an entertaining enough action piece that moves the story along.
