I cannot possibly express how little interest I have in the whole opening sequence of the elder gods. Luckily this, and the God Butcher's deeply boring and unoriginal whining about how the gods failed him (what a disappointingly unsurprising motivation) are over quickly and the three different timelines begin to coalesce into something far more interesting. Current Thor meets Old Thor - and mistakes him for their father - and that's a bitter partnership I'm interested in seeing explored. But surprisingly my preference in this issue has gone decidedly to junior. Young Thor's torture and rescue is genuinely compelling, and watching him try to cover it all up is even more so. Pity the focus wasn't more on this because it speaks to a deep insecurity that I've never associated with the character before.
