Movement and kinetic energy illustrated through horizontal lines. These pages are from issue 11, which culminate in the double splash below. That crazy quilt pattern continues in the next few pages. Plus that swoop to indicate a rapid change of focus in the last panel. Check out Thor’s cape in the middle panel and the black ooze attacking him. For the interiors his use of textures and crosshatching make for a diverse and unique visual quality. Also available are pencils from most pages but no painted interiors, which makes me wonder if they were digitally painted.Īs with all oversized editions it’s the art that demands the extra space: Ribic’s panels and use of jaw dropping splash pages create a dynamic that enhances and catapults the story. The images included above are original covers offered for sale through Ribic’s art dealer. Butch Guice and Tom Palmer provide one issue, but it’s so outside of Ribic’s style that an Absolute-ly volume should leave that issue out. It’s a grand story and one that truly takes advantage of the amazing painted art of Esad Ribic, who provides ten of the issues. Along the way Thor from three different periods in time (young Thor, current Thor and all-father Thor) are drawn into the conflict culminating in a battle royale with all three distinct Thors doing what they do to save the universe. An eleven issue story arc by Jason Aaron that centers on a being that slays gods from every world he encounters in order to rid the world of religion and its empty promises. The two volumes are Thor God Of Thunder Vol 1 – The God Butcher and Thor God Of Thunder Vol 2 – Godbomb. Marvel just released the second volume of Thor: God Of Thunder and as an overall story I was blown away.
