When I was a boy, my mother told me that thunder was the sound of angel's bowling. As a student, I learned that thunder was in fact, the sound created by a swift and sudden expansion of air within or without the lightning discharged in a storm. More to do with barometric pressure than Gabriel's anxiousness at the sight of a 7-10 split. Lately I have come to understand that thunder does in fact arise from a Heavenly collision. Thunder comes from the belly of a two-backed beast summoned in the highest towers of Asgard. Louder and more primal than the bellowing laughter of Volstagg. Louder still than the death throes of a fallen Frost Giant.
The thunder comes when Thor Odinson takes to his bed.
We hath spoke before of Post-Coital Thor, of his unwillingness to remain beneath the sheets when the deed's been done, when the climax of his latest saga's reached. It is not you, m'lady. 'tis my woeful melancholy.
In this week's issue of The Mighty Thor #1 by Matt Fraction and Olivier Coipel, Post-Coital Thor rises anew. And it's more blatant here than in Thor the Mighty Avenger #7. And we learn something. There is…an afterglow. An unmistakeable, cosmic afterglow.

He shall heed the call of booty,
but in the end, He's bound by duty.
(It's not technically an afterglow. It's a mystical wound. But out of context…)

That’s cool…..but it seems too ‘Hey look I made a penis joke’ then a nod.
@TheNextChampion You are bereft of joy. You are, in a word, joyless. Give me this!
This whole article has just made me “lol”. The wife thinks I’m mental now.
I wonder if this conversation happened before or after he told Sif to make him a sandwich…
sooooo…..Thor couldn’t get it up? am I reading that right?
The Odinson has no such problems.
Love the art but not a fan of Fraction’s Thor.
Love the art….and Silver Surfer with Galactus…
I’m already doing Journey Into Mystery so it looks like this one is going to be done in trades!
you guys have an unhealthy interest in Thor’s sexual activities
@TheNextChampion How can Spider Jerusalem be your icon and you be so against juvenile humor??
Thor and Arsenal should start a group for superheroes with erectile dysfunction
glowing red crotch? methinks Asgardian STD!
The headline of this article about made me fall out of my chair – when I read the picture and now the comments I did thus fall out of my chair
Did you know that in actual Norse mythology, if you rub Thor’s hammer, it gets bigger? No lie, look it up.
My favorite super-hero sex scene: Hulk gets raped by Umar, then passes out and reverts to Bruce Banner. Banner, having gotten laid by a woman with the power of a God after a really long “dry spell,” is SO relaxed that he can’t get angry and turn back into the Hulk, no matter how much Umar tortures him.
Yes, it is humor for a 10 year old.
Yes, it cracks me the Hell up every single time I read it.
@Paul/wangman Hey I like juvenile humor and this is funny. But this is just an elaborate way for Coipel to draw a penis joke.
Heh…..’Wangman’
@JohnVFerrigno Seriously, that Hulk story is hilarious. What comic is that?
It’s glowing!!! Maybe Thor wants to make a play pal for all the marvel children out there Daken Skarr and others
Thor feels in only the “friend zone” with you, Sif. Where’s Thor’s sock?
@MikefromGotham – evidently the term Post-coital has been broadened to include the bitching one hears after leaving your old lady ‘unwarmed by your touch’.
Maybe Thor rubbed out some knuckle babies and Sif got to watch, but I – like you – read this as him leaving the deal unsealed.
Verily, I say, close the deal, Thunder God! Perhaps a bit of powdered Midgard serpent’s horn in the mead could restore thy vigor?
@MisterJ It was in the Defenders mini series that was done by the JLI creative team of Giffin, DeMetteis and Maguire. It’s basically them doing the JLI, but with the Defenders instead of Justice League characters. It’s just completely ridiculous. Bannaer and Namor just yelling insults at each other the whole time. Dr. Strange being told how amazingly awkward his relationship with Wong is. The Silver Surfer doesn’t even meet up with the rest of the team because he’s too busy……surfing. I love that story.
Sure, Thor, “glowing chest wound.” Like we haven’t heard THAT one bef– Actually…
Maybe Thor is doing a cameo in The Hangover 2.
“Doctor, what does it mean that my crotch is glowing?”
“You mean you are experiencing a burning sensation after sex?”
“NO, man! Sparks shoot out after lying with Syf!”
he should “harm” the Blank out of her.
Also what is wrong with thor’s face- he looks cro magnon
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: How does Matt Fraction keep getting work?
This is the funniest use of Kirby Dots I’ve seen though.
I guess there are times when Thor feels more worthy and there are times when he feels less worthy. This is one of the less worthy times.
Thor its ok, sometimes the hammer strikes, sometimes it dont. Thor needs the Cialis, anytime anyplace! Verily!
@kmob181 He gets work because he writes comics people enjoy? I have never read his Thor comics because I don’t like Thor. I didn’t read his X_Men stuff because I don’t like the X-Men. However, iron man is my favorite super-hero and has been for 30 years. Fractions run on Iron man is easily the best run on the title in over 20 years. He completely gets who Tony Stark is and how he should be written.
@JohnVFerrigno – I read some of his Iron Man. It was ok. I’m glad it has become something people really enjoy. His work on X-Men was terrible. Possibly the worst treatment I have ever read – and I have read quite a bit. His work on Thor is almost as bad. Admittedly I am a Thor and an X-Men fan and less of an Iron Man fan and as with all things this is just my personal opinion. I purport to speak for no one but myself but still I have to ask why his name is often mentioned among comics top writers? I just haven’t seen anything that for me would justify that kind of treatment.
@kmob181 Yeah, obviously I can only judge what I’ve personally read. I love the 70s X-Men stories, and the recent Joss Whedon run, but haven’t liked a lot of the X-Men stuff the last 10 years all that much. I dropped the book long before Fraction came on board. I DO know that I heard a lot of negative stuff about it, though. But when I hear bad reviews for a book I don’t normally like anyway, I tend to stay away lol. Same thing with Thor. So while he seems to write quite a few things people don’t like, the only thing of his I have personally read, I really enjoy. I’ll be very interested to see if he gets on a title I want to read and how I will react to it. Maybe he is not that good, like people are saying, and he just has a knack for one character. I actually feel that way about Dan Jurgens. I LOVED his Captain America, didn’t really like anything else I ever read of his. Comics are funny like that sometimes.
