The upcoming THOR: GOD OF THUNDER will be written by writer Jason Aaron (WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN) and feature the art talents of Esad Ribic (WOLVERINE). and will follow Thor as he struggles to prevent "a trail of blood" from "consuming his past, present and future self."

Looks pretty good, might actually try this.

i like the art

I read this in the Marvel NOW preview issue. It shows previews of Cap, Iron Man, FF, Fantastic 4, First X men, SHe Hulk, Thor, and X men Legacy. They were free at my LCS Flying Colors comics.

This Thor title, The first X men and the new Thunderbolts, and maybe Cable's X-force are the titles that interest me in the Marvel Now line.

Ribic's art looks great.

Consider me intrigued.

OMG Thor is ripped

The art is awesomely awesome.

OMG that art...absolutely gorgeous!

Semi old preview.
Might read this sooner or later because of Aaron.

Who are the dead gods?

Thor - Aaron - Ribic.

3 words that makes this comic a must buy

wow..that art. gorgeous!

Is Jason Aaron a good writer though???

Looks sweet. Kinda makes me sad that I don't have the extra money to invest in Marvel comics.

That art's gorgeous and it's nice to see Aaron back on form.

Thanks for the preview!

I might pick up the 1st issue and try it out.

Freaking love the art (reminds me of Frazetta in a way). But after Aaron's run on Incredible Hulk, I'm not sure I can trust him handling any Marvel superhero that doesn't have foot long retractable claws and a hairdo that makes even Medusa jealous.

not sure how i feel about this ill read it tho

I love the premise for the first arc and it goes without saying the art is amazing.

Wow. The art really is astounding and so is Aaron (not talking only about Thor, but a great part of his work). I wasn't sure before, but now, I'll definitely give this comic a shot.

Saw this in the preview book . Love the art, can't wait read it next month

Wow awesome din't know that Thor could use mjilnor as a flash light, i wonder what else he could use it for?

Wow, pretty good. VERY tempted to pull that issue #1 out. I have so many issues to follow upcoming next month! Gambit, FF #1, Wolverine MAX, All-New X-Men and several others I might forget.

Jason is an awesome writer. I enjoyed following him in Wolverine and the X-Men.

love thor but the art sucks

I hope Marvel can show us the inside look of Captain America, Iron Man and Hulk soon. I've been wondering what they look like inside the comics.

This looks awesome, can't wait to read this new series!!! ^_^

Finally, I can read Thor again. Bye, Fraction.

I'm getting this. It looks really cool.

Ribic's art looks great.

Consider me intrigued.

Nice!

Hmmmm, Thor teaming up with his past and future self still sounds incredibly stupid to me and "the god butcher" im rollin my eyes marvel (though not as bad as Miss Thing in FF).

The art though, I think I can get behind it enough to give the first issue or two a try.

What?!?! ::rubbing my eyes::: Am I seeing something?

WHY!? I had my mind set to not buying this series... Now that I've read this preview I want to read it!

The cover is atrocious, but the artwork inside looks pretty cool. Not too sure about his plain chest piece though.

At first, I wasn't behind Marvel Now.

Now, I am. GET IT?!

No but really, most of the new books look neat. Picking up Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Avengers and Fantastic Four.

The preview for FF didn't make me hate it, either. Miss-Thing looks awful, but Allred's art might make me do it.

Your comic shop should have a preview book for free. I got it 2 weeks ago, and it has previews for Cap, Thor (this one), Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four and FF.

Wow I'm hooked (No pun) Aaron got me reading Hulk. Looks like I'm gonna be reading Thor too now.

...So buying this...

like this!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible art.

Wow the art is just simply stellar! And I'm intrigued by this "God Butcher" character now... O_o

Love the art and I can't wait for Aaron's take. However, it looks like people are tired of drawing his new armor :P

Pretty much what I expected from Jason Aaron.

@MisterKetch: HE IS NOT TEAMING UP WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF HIMSELF the book Takes place in 3 time periods of thors life when he encountered the new villain there is no time travel, no thor from other times meeting

@LordRequiem: other than thors face what the hell is possibly bad about the cover???

your one of thoose anti alex ross hipsters that hates painted comic art arent you :(

Looks great, just don't know if I can afford it. $4 and I bet they will be double shipping it each month. $8 is a lot each month for one series.

I'm intruiged.. And i'm not even a Thor fan.

I've really wanted to get into Thor for a while...this looks good enough to be a great start! =)

On a side note, anyone else think Thor's arms in the first photo look like Thanksgiving Day turkeys? 'Cause those things are just huge...

@movieartman:Well since thats the case I'm more on board with this comic then.

I'm not a fan of Thor, or any avenger book, but I tried before with journey into mystery, and well I kind of like Thor over there, his little cameos. So I think I'll try this one. Yeah the art looks quite good.
