With a wide range of interesting and unexpected titles coming out as part of the Secret Wars event, it’s easy to be dismissive of something that’s called Thors. But then you see that the June 2015 series is set to be done by Jason Aaron and Chris Sprouse and you have to re-evaulate your plans a bit. This series is part of the Battleworld imprint as it goes for some police action with the various gods of thunder.
“This is basically me doing a cop story, but with hammers instead of guns,” says writer Jason Aaron, in an interview with Marvel.com. “It’s every version of Thor you can imagine, all walking beats, solving murders, getting yelled at by their commissioner and blowing off steam at their local Thor-cop bar.”
Plot concept: The chaos of Secret Wars requires a different kind of lawman. Welcome to the force. Whenever there’s trouble on Battleworld, the Thors answer the call. Gods of Thunder from every world, united in their quest to uphold the law. Keeping the peace, closing cases, and dispensing judgment with the crash of thunder and the crack of lightning!
Yet when the Thors pick up a puzzling murder case on Battleworld, the rules change. And the entire corps is sent scrambling to find the murderer. But when some Thors begin asking the wrong questions, they’ll begin to pull at strings that could unravel the very fabric of reality!
