He’s very successful, possessing mystical technology against which few gods stand a chance, and the way Aaron shows this is by reminding us that Thor, by human standards at least, is immortal. That’s down to the plotting lapses in what was originally published as Godbomb.īefore then everything runs beautifully, Aaron with Esad Ribić introducing the threat of the God Butcher, a being who so resents the very idea of gods, he’s determined to wipe them all out, no matter who believes in them. ![]() ![]() This bulky paperback collection combines the first three Thor trades written by Jason Aaron, and while his reputation on the title is rightly solid gold, if plotted on a graph, the quality level of this material is two peaks separated by a bit of a dip. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Love isn't part of the plan, but plans change.

Whichever partner was unfaithful, it can lead to severe emotional distress to both partners. The betrayal of one or both parties being unfaithful to the other is often the cause of a breakup.
