Thor: God of Thunder Volume 2: Godbomb (Marvel Now): 02 Paperback – Illustrated, 24 Jun. 2014

Thor at the height of his powers and the world he inhabits at it's most fantastical. The conclusion of this exciting arc brings home some insane battles brought to life in impossibly impressive art. The sheer scale of some of the page-long spread made me wonder why it wasn't in a gallery somewhere. If you're into Fantasy action and maybe not a comic reader, I promise this shows you what you imagine when Gods clash. Fantastic work

Arived quickly and in good condition. First graphic novel series that i've read for a while. Fantastic artwork and a great story. As with all time travel stories its kinda a bit funky, but knowingly so. The read heart of the story is in the morality the gods themselves and how Thor thinks/feels about what he battles.

Loved this, superb stuff. Highly recommend it. Literally read it in about an hour as I couldn’t put it down!

The item arrived in good condition and on time. These stories are a little shorter, but not a single page is wasted. Each frame is used to their potential and the heavy story makes for a refreshing read.

4 graphic novels. Wow, best mini series I read since secret wars. Dont like Thor? Read this and I challenge your opinion. Enjoy x

An incredibly clever end to the God butcher series. King Thor imprisoned, young Thor a slave and avengers Thor lost in time.This story looks at who gorr was, who he has become and what makes him the God butcher in multiple ways. It gives a rather amusing role to thor's granddaughters and the nature of gods themselves.This is all thor all the way. No other avenger could be the hero of this story and that is important. This isn't a generic hero story it is a story about thor and the nature of worthiness. That is always what thor should be just as spiderman is about responsibility.Also the twist at the end is absolutely fantastic

I thought this superb. Epic, poetic, fully realising the status of Norse mythology. Illustration also captured the visceral hero in three well characterised incarnations. Thunderous!

Like I needed any more motivation to read Thor stories. The writer and the artists who work on this wonderful comics did a fantastic job. A joy to read.

Perfecta condicion, en cuanto a la historia este es el final de el hilo de la historia de Gorr y la godbomb. Esta es sin duda de las mejores historias de Thor que se hayan echo jamás, realmente recomendable.

Worth getting this and God Butcher just for the art. This is a satisfying end to Gorrs storyline. Though not the end of the Necrosword!

The was a great conclusion to the penultimate Thor story. Aaron knocks it out of the park with this epic Thor story to end all Thor stories (almost literally). And Ribic's art is as amazing as ever. The European comic style makes this a Thor story of legend. Read this now!

Not a step lost from God Butcher, God Bomb completes the Gorr arc and again transcends, transforming a "funny-book" graphic into something truly ethereal. and ground breaking. It has been said by other reviewers that Aaron was born to write Thor. I wholeheartedly agree. Whether bonding with his "new girlfriend" Agent Roz Solomon, caring for and receiving due counsel from an old lover, Jane Foster, Thor ascends to a level unmatched in his book's illustrious history. The scenes where he walks among mortals, particularly the death row scene is so damn powerful, poignant and resonant. The master villain proves both empathetic and really - all too human - making the depth of his actions profound in their tragic unfolding. There is so much drama, action and Wagnerian epic flying off these pages that honestly I could write a thousand word review. I will opt instead to again encourage folks to read this two volume work. Again, simply outstanding and well worth your time. Honestly if only for the following line: "...and for the moment that stretched across all time...every god in all the universes closed their eyes... prayed to Thor" is so damn perfect and sends a chill down one's spine upon reading it......Read this!

It has become evident to me over the past year that Jason Aaron is one of the best writers in the history of Marvel's Thor. Seriously, he belongs in the upper echelons of great Thor writers, alongside  Stan Lee , J. Mike Straczynski , and even the great  Walter Simonson . I say that because, in the entire 11 issues revolved around  Gorr, the God Butcher , there isn't a single page that isn't riveting and wondrous to take in. The first half of this tale was fantastic, and I'm happy to say that Aaron and Ribic definitely delivered the goods in volume 2, Godbomb.Anyone looking at Godbomb is undoubtedly familiar with the premise. The first volume featured a new villain in the Thor pathos named Gorr, a chilling, frightening foe with an unequaled hatred for all gods in the universe. Practically a god unto himself (but don't ever tell him that), Gorr spent thousands of years butchering countless pantheons across the universe, until Thor stood against and supposedly defeated him. Unfortunately, he accidentally gave him a newfound focus and grander sense of purpose instead. The story featured Thor at three different points in his life, all equally likable and with the same core personality but with enough subtle differences to make each version a unique character. Time travel is involved and the storytelling is actually sharper because of this and not in spite of it. Godbomb ups the stakes tremendously and progresses this tale to its inevitable, epic conclusion. Here we see all three Thors at the end of time, united through the magic of time travel, mounting one final assault on Gorr as he prepares his ultimate victory over every god through time and space. Epic!I absolutely love Jason Aaron as a writer for Thor. He has a genuinely fantastic grasp on the pathos of Thor and what makes him such a unique and exciting character for a comic book and that is wholly evident while reading Godbomb. There's a perfect mix here of superhero tale, epic fantasy, and exciting Sci-Fi. The writing all comes together so well, making for a genuinely thrilling epoch filled with mystical wonder. Godbomb (as well as the first volume) contains a cinematic flair that makes the entire story an absolute delight to take in. The story flows very smoothly. There's a great amount of depth to reflect on. There's plenty of humor interspersed among the action and drama too, making for a perfect balance to the story. I'm also very happy to say that, despite intense build-up over many issues, the ending is incredibly satisfying. It just amazes me how well paced the entire story is over 11 issues, with every single one maintaining the same top-tier quality. That's super impressive. Aaron, if you ever read this, know that I both love and admire your work immensely. Your name deserves to be mentioned with glory in the dining halls of Valhalla, truly.Esad Ribic returns for issues 7-11 and once again, he hit it out of the park. I've always loved Esad's  past work on Thor  as well as  his other Marvel stuff , and he is truly at the top of his game in these God of Thunder stories. His line work is just so sharp and organic, and the art is vividly colorful and pops out of the page. His powerful artwork rises to the cosmic grandeur of Aaron's writing beautifully. I really love this creative team for Thor.Issue 6 almost feels out of place in the volume. Acting as an origin of sorts for Gorr's character, its writing is consistent with the rest of the volume, but it does feature a different artist. This can be a bit distracting, as the heavy-handed, gritty art style for this single issue is drastically different (and to be honest, inferior) than Ribic's fluid, painterly art. Really though, that's not enough to take down the volume's overall quality. It is worth noting, however.All-in-all, Aaron/Ribic's first major arc with Thor is a triumph in storytelling. All 11 issues revolving around Thor's battle against Gorr are of the highest quality you could hope for from a Thor story. It just nails the Thor pathos so perfectly, while adding quite a bit to it as well. Godbomb acts as an awesome conclusion to the compelling tale of Gorr, a new Thor villain I hope to see again sometime down the road. If you have any interest in Thor whatsoever, I'd say buying both  The God Butcher  and Godbomb is a decision you won't regret. So what are you waiting for? Buy it, steel yourself for an epic adventure, and witness how Thor became the god of gods! Stan LeeJ.
