This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before. Jason Aaron universe Chaykin at his ballsiest and most dynamic. This is how the Shadow should be done. Jason Aaron shadowdoneshould If you’re a long-time Thor fan you know there’s kind of a tradition from time to time of somebody else picking up that hammer.
