environmental agent Roz Solomon-who debuted in ish #12-investigated Roxxon and its nefarious CEO Dario 'Minotaur' Agger with some help from Thor. dealt with libations and monsters in 'Days of Wine and Dragons' (in issue #18) which led directly into the final GOD OF THUNDER arc, 'Last Days of Midgard!' In this, S.H.I.E.L.D. LAST DAYS OF MIDGARDįrom there, the Young Thor of 894 A.D. Along the way, readers got a taste of exactly how far Malekith would go to see every realm touched by war and the extent of his plans to make it all happen. Though Thor and the others attempted to quash Malekith's plans right away, his ascension to the throne of the Dark Elves led to political problems and, eventually, freedom. The Dark Elf not only freed himself from a spider-guarded prison in Hel, but struck the first blow in what would become the War of the Realms, which resulted in the creation of the League of Realms, an action squad with one individual from each of the realms. THE ACCURSEDĪfter a bit of a respite in issue #12's 'Once Upon A Time In Midgard,' mags #13- 18 reintroduced a villain whose machinations would fully come to fruition several years later: Malekith.

To stop Gorr's time-spanning Godbomb-unwillingly built by Shadrack, god of bombs-the current Thor teamed up with Young Thor, King Thor, and even the latter's granddaughters Frigg, Ellisiv, and Atli to finally defeat the God-Butcher, though they could only bury the Necrosword, not destroy it.

Gorr proved such a dangerous and persistent foe, bolstered by his possession of the mighty All-Black the Necrosword, that he faced Thor back in 893 A.D., in the present, and even towards the end of the galaxy when Thor had become King of a mostly dead Asgard! Over the course of the first 11 issues (collected in the GOD BUTCHER and GODBOMB trades), the modern Odinson got wrapped up in a battle with Gorr, the God-Butcher who wanted mortal beings to depend on themselves instead of the gods that he felt betrayed him during his life.

While he's still riding the lightning in AVENGERS (2018), we're going to run through all of Aaron's Thor books in chronological order so you can follow along from the beginning! THE GOD BUTCHERĪaron began his work on Thor with the GOD OF THUNDER series in 2012. Aaron began working on the classic version of the character in 2012 with THOR: GOD OF THUNDER, but then went on to shepherd the lightning lord through a series of ongoings, travels through time, an identity crisis, a new person wielding the hammer, and even a war across all ten realms!
