Caught up in the odd reality created during the Secret Wars, we find every version of Thor (and some we've never seen before) all co-existing and serving as Doctor Doom's police force across the face of Battleworld.
The version known as Ultimate Thor is leading an investigation into a series of murders. It's a tangled mystery, as several women are found dead - and they're all the same woman.
The investigation has also resulted in the death of a member of the Thor Corps - and we finally catch up with a character I'll just call "Real Thor."
The whole idea is crazy, and the biggest surprise of all is that it actually works. (Though there are some plot irregularities - for example, why does Ult. Thor let his first real suspect simply walk away?)
The art is terrific, as you'd expect from Chris Sprouse (working here with Goran Sudzuka) - and that last page will definitely bring us all back for the next chapter.
Grade: A-

I'm still stunned how much I enjoy this limited series. Well written and drawn. Did not see that coming....
