Thor: God of Thunder, Volume 2: God Bomb


Thor’s of past, present, and future team up to finally take the God Butcher down once and for all. But before they can do that, will they be too late as the killer of god’s is about to complete the ultimate weapon- the god bomb.

This thing acts like the TARDIS- not only does it kill all gods existing in the present, but it has the ability to destroy any god that every existed (prior to before it became known) as well as wiping out any potential god to exist in the future. So, I guess if Kanye West gets his wish and becomes the next Jesus, this god bomb would’ve kept him from ever being born. The mind wonders about such things.

There were some neat surprises in this volume and I like the ending, especially how it tied up a loose end from early in volume 1. But, compared to that issue, this one is flawed. I felt like this story could’ve been tied up at about the half-way point. However, for some reason, the writer decided to throw it a few monkey wrenches that dragged the plot out to an unneeded length.

The art was still very good and despite my misgivings about how long the God Butcher storyline stretched out, I am very much looking forward to volume 3.

Worth Consuming.

Rating 8 out 10 stars.
