Despite being a DC girl, I have to admit that I've been very impressed with what I've seen of MarvelNOW, and The God Butcher is no exception. It's a bit darker and bloodier than I've come to expect from Thor stories, but it still manages to be a fun book. I wish other "dark" comics (coughBatmancough) were able to walk this line as well. Aaron and Ribic are a great team, with Ribic's gorgeous artwork complementing Aaron's mythology-heavy time travel story perfectly. The idea of an entity traveling through all the mythological realms and killing all the gods is fascinating, and I wonder how Aaron's own beliefs (I read an interview saying he was an atheist) affect his portrayal of a character who is a literal god. There's a lot of good stuff going on here, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
