Thor By Jason Aaron Reading Order

In 2012, after Kieron Gillen and Matt Fraction wrote Thor stories for a few years, Jason Aaron picked up where they left off and started to build an epic that lead us to The War of Realms (full reading order here).

Not as big as Dan slott’s run on Spider-Man, Jason Aaron’s one on Thor is still big and full of now historic events. With the Original Sin event, the God Butcher, the now-famous female Thor, and the War of Realms, Jason Aaron saw big and wrote some surprising and huge stories.

Here is the official synopsis: Across the ages, gods are vanishing — and the God of Thunder must unite with his past and future selves to stand against Gorr the God Butcher! Meanwhile, Malekith the Accursed begins a bloody rampage that will spread war throughout the realms. Which makes it a terrible time for the Odinson to be rendered unworthy of lifting Mjolnir! Another hero will hold the hammer high, fighting for Asgard and Midgard as Thor — the Goddess of Thunder! She’ll battle Malekith, Loki, Roxxon…and even Odin! But who is she under the mask? And what is this new Thor’s terrible secret?

  • Original Sin: Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm

    • Axis
      Optional: Thor’s hammer plays a role in the event, so it’s pretty optional, and it takes place before Thor #1.
