Written by PAUL TOBIN Penciled by SCOTT KOBLISH
Cover by CLAYTON HENRY
The Executioner is easily one of the deadliest foes Thor has ever faced, and in their loooong history of battlefield clashes, perhaps the strangest one of all time was on... a pirate ship? It's an untold tale of the past, where the God of Thunder stands alone against the most ruthless pirate on Earth, and the most merciless of all Asgard's warriors! 32 PGS.

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
A handful of titles featuring Thor this month, and this is the only one that goes old school. This is why I picked it. The Executioner is back, as Thor gives his adoring female fans some satisfaction by telling them a pirate tale of yesteryear. Tobin keeps the story fun, while Cliquet keeps all battles bloodless. This story is as close as I'll get to the comics from the 70's and 80's without diving deep into my collection. If they can bring back Aunt May, and Elektra, why they can't bring back Odin? Is anybody else wondering that, too?
