Jason Aaron had previously chatted to Newsarama about what we can expect from the new series, revealing that his take on Thor will involve three different "past, present, and future" versions of the character..

"I do flash back and show a young Thor in action, but he's actually just one of three Thors that I want to focus on. This first story is an epic tale that plays out over the course of thousands of years. So we spend time with young Thor in the Viking age — the young, hotheaded god of the Vikings, who loves to come down to Midgard and get into trouble. In the present, we see Thor the Avenger on a journey that takes him to the far corners of space, interacting with all sorts of new space gods and wondrous new locations. And then we also see old King Thor, who's the last king of Asgard, thousands of years in the future, where something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. Linking all these eras and Thors together is one villain, an all-new character [Gorr, the God Butcher], who is basically, at least initially, a serial killer of gods. He's a guy with a serious axe to grind against all immortal beings in the cosmos, and he's going around doing his best to kill them all off, one at a time, as brutally as possible. That villain's story unfolds over the course of all these different eras. He starts as a serial killer of gods, but by the end, he has become something even more frightening."

That sounds a lot like the end of Dan Jurgens run on Thor...and I don't remember that being very good after the first 12 or so issues.
newfoundjedi - 8/22/2012, 10:21 AM
Well, at least the serial killer of gods and ing Thor parts.

Digging the sleeveless look again!

"BOOFF" ???

Mjolnir doesn't go "BOOFF" for heaven's sakes!.
What?, is it made from Nerf foam or something?. ^^

It goes "BAdOoOOM!" - "KRaCkOoOOM!" - "KRAKKA-BOOOOM!" - "KATHOOOOM!" - "SHRAK-DOOOM!" or even "SPANNG!...


What the hell is "BOOFF". ^^

While I have no interest in the story, that's some damn fine art.

He looks like a retarded meathead in first panel, reminds me of blaster from master blaster.
KrazyForKomix - 8/22/2012, 1:57 PM
Just show me where Hickman will be. That's the book to read.
marvel72 - 8/22/2012, 2:09 PM
@ KrazyForKomix

i believe hickman is writing the avengers & the new avengers.
AverageJoe - 8/22/2012, 7:57 PM
That looks great! I he looks like a bad ass, as it should be.
ScionStorm - 8/22/2012, 9:02 PM
Boof? I always thought Mjolnir made a Krackkoom! sound.
Seejay - 8/23/2012, 5:45 AM
@SimyJo

I'm guessing the creature is making the sound. :)
comicb00kguy - 8/23/2012, 6:40 AM
Simyjo: I was wondering the same thing. That BOOFF! would fit a lot better in the old Batman show than in a fight involving Thor. A thunderous or metallic sound works a lot better here.
Dedpool - 8/23/2012, 8:25 AM
Loving the new look which is a cross between the classic and the modern.
Newtsy - 8/23/2012, 9:35 AM
@SimyJo/@ScionStorm,

How 'bout thinkin beyond your hammers, mmmmK? (see what I did there?)

Perhaps that's the sound the creature being hit is making and not Mjolnir itself.

You may now return to your seats.
