Jason Aaron re: Thor -With this book I wanted to combine everything I like about Thor. … There are vikings in there, I love viking stories. I love young Thor, so we see young, foolhardy, brash, long-haired, rowdy Thor. He drinks a lot, he screws lots of viking women, he gets in fights on Midgard. He's not even worthy enough to lift the hammer yet, so he has a big ass axe that he carries around. Then I like crazy cosmic stuff. I like big cities of the gods and space gods. So we see present-day Thor all journeying through the Marvel Universe encountering all that kinda stuff. … I'm doing a King Thor story, where you see old King Thor thousands of years in the future -- he's got one eye, one arm missing. We don't know what's happened to Asgard, it's been devastated, he's there alone. He's still got his beat up old hammer and, you know, the Odin Sword. So we see all these three different versions of Thor, in three different eras, all tied together by one new villain, this mysterious serial killer of gods who's traveling the universe butchering, slaughtering gods in the shadows for reasons we don't quite understand yet. And he's got a very specific grudge against Thor for some reason, as well.
Someone's actually trying.
