THORS-#002

Thors #2 (2015 Limited Series)

"The Case of the Murdered Jane Foster"

In a world where every version of Thor acts as a cop for God Emperor Doom, the stakes are as grounded as they are cosmic. Following the shocking discovery in the first issue, detectives Ultimate Thor and Beta Ray Bill are deep in the trenches, hunting for the killer of multiple versions of Jane Foster across the realms. This issue turns the "police procedural" trope on its head—with lightning and hammers instead of badges and guns.

Issue Highlights:

• The "Law & Order" of Asgard: Writer Jason Aaron does something brilliant here: he takes the most "godlike" hero and drops him into a mundane, gritty detective role. It’s funny, tense, and utterly unique.
• Chris Sprouse’s Art: The art is clean, sharp, and perfectly suits the "noir" aesthetic. Sprouse manages to make the various iterations of Thor look distinct, which is no small feat given they are all wearing similar armor.
• The Mystery Deepens: The "Who killed Jane Foster?" arc is a genuine whodunit that keeps you guessing, especially since in this world, death is rarely simple.
• A Cult Favorite: Because it was a tie-in to the larger Secret Wars event, this miniseries is often overlooked by casual readers, making it a "hidden gem" for collectors who appreciate strong, self-contained writing.
