I read The God Butcher, in which this is collected, earlier today, and after I'd reviewed it I found that Goodreads also lists comics on their own, as single issues! I am clearly late to this discovery but am excited nonetheless, and because I have a hopeless bent to completeness I'm rating and reviewing them all separately, as well as collected.

This particular issue opens this, well, mini-series I suppose you'd call it, and I was initially sceptical. It starts with a younger Thor, who is pretty much everything I am not interested in reading about - the phrase "drunken whoring battle yokel" sprang to mind - but it very quickly became clear that this is a story with three different versions of Thor - young, current, and the lonely, dying old - and it promises an interesting structure and character development, which are things that I love and that makes young Thor seem like a promising beginning instead of a bore. When this issue really caught my attention, however, was the storage house of dead gods hanging from meat hooks like sides of beef in a butcher's. The image is incredible and, like the gods, I was hooked. (Sorry.)
