Review of Thor: God of Thunder volume 2-Godbomb


Written by Jason Aaron, artwork by Esad Ribic


This graphic novel is a continuation of the story of the Godbutcher.  The back story of the villain is revealed.  His ideas of worlds without gods is finally understood and developed into something truly twisted.  The bomb built is one that will go throughout time and kill each and every god before and as they are born.  The problem is that the Godbutcher has become a god himself in the process which leads to his own destruction as he had three Thor’s (all from different times in the time stream) converge on him. 

Thor the Avenger is the one to destroy him by the dying gods seeing him fighting for their lives and praying to him; giving him the strength and energy to absorb the godbomb.  He then has to expel the bomb that he had absorbed and the Necrosworld that had been used to kill the gods was destroyed also.  

The Thor’s return to their time lines and forget of what transpired after they see that Asgard is full of gods.  The gods who do not remember what worlds they come from are sent to worlds without gods to make them their own.  The action is dynamic and the artwork brilliant, especially with the three Thor’s and his granddaughter’s.
