This post relates to: Thor, Matt Fraction
Hmmm...usually when I see tales of Thor in Asgard, it just puts me to sleep. I know I may be in the minority but there's just something about the stories in Asgard that don't interest me. Buuuut, seeing some of these images may be making me change my mind. As powerful as Thor is, you don't really see him let loose very often. It's like he's too polite to really get down and dirty. Check out the blood on his face. Check out Thor in bed with (gasp) more than one fair maiden. What happened to you Thor? If these stories are correct, when did you turn into a softy? I guess I'm just gonna have to check this out to see what a bad ass Thor really can be. Plus it's written by Matt Fraction!
As Thor continues to deal with an uncertain future after the return of the missing Asgardians, readers can now look to the past and examine the long, arduous road that brought him here! Thor: Ages Of Thunder, a double-sized special from red-hot scribe Matt Fraction (Immortal Iron Fist, upcoming Uncanny X-Men) and fan favorite artist Patrick Zircher (Thunderbolts) explore the events leading to the mighty Thor’s bonding with the human Donald Blake as he wages war with the terrifying Frost Giants. But just how does a tragic tale of the Enchantress and the legendary villainy of the trickster Loki play into all this?
With Loki’s involvement in the critically-acclaimed Thor, this issue is perfect for fans looking to learn more about the Marvel Universe’s greatest deceiver…and just what makes Thor the man he is today! Don’t miss the double-sized Thor: Ages Of Thunder!
