But we do not remain with our young friend for long, as Aaron and Ribic must set up the rest of our story. You are dropped into the aftermath of a fight, with Thor recounting what had transpired, in a way that only someone as arrogant and carefree as young Thor could have. But this is not the Thor that we have known for the many years prior, no, this is young Thor, one who does not yet have Mjolnir, one who is not yet worthy.įor those who do not know who Thor is going into this series, the introduction Aaron gives is all you need. I had completely forgotten it had been published.Īlso, while I will be trying my best to avoid them as we get closer to present, I cannot guarantee this will be spoiler-free, so consider this your spoiler warning.Īaron begins, as all good stories do, with an introduction to our hero in his natural habitat: fighting, drinking, and having general merrymaking with whoever it was that called him down. I’m also not going to look at “Original Sin: Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm” as it is more of an Angela title and. So, raise your horns of mead and prepare to journey across realms, across universes and across generations because this week, I’m going to take a look back at all 67 (as of writing) of his Thor issues: from “Thor: God of Thunder” to “Thor” to “Thors” to “The Mighty Thor” and even “The Unworthy Thor.” I will not be looking at “Original Sin,” as it’s only tangentially Thor (and I don’t find it a particularly engaging event) but I will touch on its effects.
These are the questions Jason Aaron concerns himself with as he slowly builds his 5-year run with Thor and attempts the unenviable job of following up on Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen’s runs on their Thor titles. Is the worth innate? Is it immutable? Or is it earned, as transient as a leaf on the wind? How does one measure the worth of another?
There is an inscription, carved into a block of Uru, that holds back the power of storms: “Whosoever holds this hammer, if (s)he be worthy, shall possess the power of… Thor.” If you are worthy, you may lift this block and with it, command the storms.
