I know my way around Comic Books. I've had a Comic Book Store since 1992 and I've read since then around 15-20 issues per week, mostly to be able to sell those titles to my customers and to make them fall in love with the stories so they become avid readers and thus, avid buyers.
This is a new section of my blog where I'll make some comic book reviews and recommend some titles to anyone reading my entries.
In a future recommendation, I will talk about the kingdom of Asgard, specifically talking about Loki and a mini series where Esad Ribic made a genius out of himself delivering such creativity related to the context of his Croatian nationality.
Those roots that slavs and nords share allowed him to be the perfect artist for that generation of Thor comics, joining the ranks of Jack Kirby, Walter Simonson, John Buscema, John Romita Jr as those illustrators that left a mark within the universe of Odin's favorite son.
This is why, working side by side with Jason Aaron in 2012, this 2012 series I'm going to recommend you, is one of the best out there related to the God of Thunder. The story begins in Iceland several centuries ago, where Thor enjoys the company of mortal men, their wine, their food and their women. A young god among mortals who honor and cherish his glory.
=== THOR: GOD OF THUNDER ===
In another place of the universe, another mortal man faces the death of his race and family while he prays the gods for aid, mercy and help... but the gods would not respond, ignoring his pleads and, in the end, once there's nothing and no one else other than him, his faith in the gods disappears.

When there is no faith, do gods die? That is what Gorr comes to think and, begins killing the gods who ignore mortal pleads, and he does it throughout space.
That's how a huge battle begins, a battle that will take 3 different versions of Thor to stop the Butcher of Gods in his oddysey for extintion: The young Thor that seeks the worship of mortal men and his father's respect; the Thor of the present, hero of Midgard and warrior of Asgard; and an old Thor, weak and lonely, king of everything, father of everything.

This chapter would end after 25 numbers with a son of Odin unworthy of lifting Mjolnir... and that is just the beginning of a great Thor season that would last several years.
