THOR: GOD OF THUNDER boasts one of the most beautiful marriages of words and visuals in all of Marvel NOW!, with Jason Aaron’s epic scripts being met and matched by the kind of gorgeous art only Esad Ribic can provide.
With issue #3 on sale now, three proves a magic number, as the series tells the tales of Thor from a triptych of periods across his long existence.
Esad Ribic recently shared with us some of his designs and sketches for the series. In addition to the art, Aaron provided his reactions to Ribic’s visual treats. In this final of a three-part THOR: GOD OF THUNDER sketchbook, we give you a look into the future of King Thor.
Jason Aaron: “Meet the Thor from the end of time. With the eye patch and the long white beard, King Thor looks a bit like his dad, Odin. He even wields his father's sword. But he's a very different sort of All-Father, in a far different time.”
Jason Aaron: “This [Thor’s left arm] isn't armor. King Thor lost an arm somewhere along the way, so when he goes into battle, he wears an arm of the Destroyer.”
