Thor #468 Nov 1993
Blood and Thunder part 1 of 13, "Distant Thunder"
In Asgard, Odin muses on Thor being absent from Asgard and his state of mind;

Thor, meanwhile, is being persuaded by the Mind Valkyrie to raze not only Asgard, but all the Nine Worlds;
While Thor rages, Sif and Beta Ray Bill look on, determined to try to talk sense into Thor;
Thor strikes Sif down, when Bill appears;

Thor easily defeats the both of them;
Bill pleads for Sif to leave to gather more allies, or warn Odin if necessary;
Sif leaves via the Norn Stones and Thor strikes Bill with enough force to shatter the asteroid they were fighting upon;
Before Thor can deliver the killing stroke though, the Silver Surfer arrives.

Script by Ron Marz, pencils by Bruce Zick, inks by Mike DeCarlo

Thor #5 Nov 1998
"Heroes!"
A radio shock-jock is giving Thor the business on the airwaves.

But when an overzealous fan threatens the DJ's life it's the Thunder God to the rescue.

However, Mjolnir, Thor's enchanted hammer, begins to display odd behavior.

Is this foreshadow for dark times to come?

Talking about today being Thor date, did anyone notice that today date was the 6th day of the 12th month of the 18th year (of the century), 06/12/18 and the number difference of the 3 is 666! Spooky.

Speaking of dates... Jason Aaron writes Thor on a date with Jennifer. Apparently Thor is a clueless idiot who has been single for centuries...

[zoch]

Aaron writes Thor like clueless idiot but seeing that preview this is something else I never seen a writer that gets away with trashing a character like he does it about time that Thor has new writer.

[kilderkin]

Imo the way thor is now being written by Aaron ranks as the singular worst version I have ever read

[Panic]

It's Aaron.

That's all that needs to be said.

Surprising considering he gave us Thor: God of Thunder; something I'd consider the "defining Thor" of the last decade.

That isn't Thor. That is Hercuthor. Aaron never learned the difference between Thor and Hercules and he has been doing a strange mashup. I would really like to see him tackle a Hercules book one day, knowing Aaron it would probably come off as a Walt Simonson Thor

Im in a minority I think when I say I didn't like that story that much, but it was a good version of thor

What we have had for a good few years now, from one extreme to another is anything but imo

And considering what he did in TGOT it shows it a deliberate move, it's not just style

If I just colour thors hair in brown, it's all good

maybe

Honestly, the Thor he wrote back then really doesn't jive with how he writes Thor now in my opinion.

That's (part of) what makes it all the more jarring.
