4	''Thors'' is a 2015 Creator/MarvelComics limited series written by Creator/JasonAaron and illustrated by Chris Sprouse.
5
6	The series is part of the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' event, set at a time when reality has been remade and the only remaining planet is Battleworld, a patchwork of different realms held together by the will of ComicBook/DoctorDoom.
7
8	In Battleworld, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] is not a single hero, there is a whole army of Thors that work as Dr. Doom's police. Ultimate Thor (from ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''), has an open case: all the Jane Fosters of the many realms are being killed, and his partner Beta Ray Thor (ComicBook/BetaRayBill) is killed during the investigation. Eventually, the killer is found and captured. Just in time for [[ComicBook/Thor2014 the 616 Jane Foster]] to show up, and convince the Thors to raise against Doom at the crossover finale.

10	----
11	!!''Thors'' provides examples of:
12
13	* TheAce: The reason behind [[MythologyGag Ultimate Thor's]] nickname, as he is the best on the homicide beat.
14	* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Ultimate Thor]] was last seen trapped in the Negative Zone at the end of ''ComicBook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand''. He returns here as the main character of ''Thors'', only to perish in the final issue.
15	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Thor the Unworthy rescues Ultimate Thor in the Deadlands when he's betrayed by Rune Thor and Destroyer Thor.]]
16	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: ''Thors'' ends with the members of the Thor Corps joining in the final battle against God Doom. Ultimate Thor fights valiantly to the bitter end but is eventually overwhelmed and apparently killed. The last shot is of his hammer crashing on Earth-616's version of Asgard.]]
17	* CleavageWindow: Stormborn (Storm) has her boobs clearly visible.
18	* CompositeCharacter: Several member of the Thor Corps are versions of separate characters, who combine their original powers with those bequeathed by their hammer. Examples include ComicBook/{{Storm\|MarvelComics}}, ComicBook/WarMachine, ComicBook/{{Groot}}, ComicBook/TheFalcon, and ComicBook/{{Angela\|AsgardsAssassin}}.
19	* CrazyHomelessPeople: The Loki of ''Thors'' plays into this trope. [[spoiler:Operative word being ''[[ExploitedTrope plays]]'' as at least half of the crazy is just ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
20	* DaChief: The Lawspeaker for the Thors, who is Battleworld's version of the future's King Thor.
21	* EtTuBrute: The killer of the Jane Fosters, Donald Blakes, and Beta Ray Thor was [[spoiler:Rune Thor. He tried to kill Ultimate Thor as well]].
22	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Rune Thor turns out to be the murderer, aided by the Destroyer Thor in ''Thors'' #3. He leaves Ultimate Thor in the Deadlands to die.]]
23	* HeroWithBadPublicity: ''Thors'' has the "original" version of the character, "Thor the Mighty", who falls into this trope. No longer worthy of a hammer (much like his mainstream status quo at the time), he tries to warn "Ultimate Thor" (the central character of the book) that he is on the same path to unworthiness, if he continues to try seeking the truth.
24	* HulkSpeak: As you may have guessed, Groot Thor only says "I Am Thor".
25	* NaiveNewcomer: Green Thor, with the "Green" standing for Novice, not for the color.
26	* NotMeThisTime: When Beta Ray Thor was killed, the Thors attacked all the usual suspects, and detained several of them. Hulks, Ultrons, zombies, Ghost Riders, etc. The actual killer was not among them.
27	* PerpSweating: Ultimate Thor tries this instead of torture against a suspect. Unfortunately [[spoiler:Loki]] is at best mildly bemused by this and for example outright asks if they are at the [[GoodCopBadCop Good Thor/Bad Thor]] already.
28	* PlanetOfSteves: Everybody is Thor, so they all use variations of the name. Ultimate Thor, Beta Ray Thor, Rune Thor, Unworthy Thor, Green Thor, etc.
29	* PoliceBrutality: When [[spoiler:Beta Ray Bill]] is killed, the other Thors go hunt down everyone else it could be (Hulks, Mr. Sinisters, Ultrons, zombies, mutants, etc.) and beat them senseless in looking for answers.
30	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Rune Thor of the Thor Corps is openly bigoted against mutants, despite working alongside a talking frog and an Alien-Tree. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in the [[spoiler: "hero" part. He's revealed to be the BigBad in the sory arc he's in. He's the serial killer who killed Beta Ray Bill and several versions of Jane Foster and Donald Blake. So, he's acatually a case of PoliticallyIncorrectVillain.]]
31	* RedHerring: Beta Ray Thor asks a man in shadows for info about the case. Next time we see him, [[spoiler:he has been brutally killed. The man in the shadows is Loki. But no, he had nothing to do with the crime]].
32	* SequelHook: So does ''Thors''. [[spoiler:The Ultimate Thor flings his hammer so hard that it enters the All-New All-Different universe and crash lands on the abandoned Asgard, waiting for someone else to become Ultimate Thor.]]
33	* SeriesContinuityError: When Ultimate Thor hears the name "Donald Blake", he is troubled by it, for reasons he can not understand. The idea is that Donald Blake used to be Thor's secret identity... in the main Marvel universe. Not in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, where this identity was taken by Balder.
34	* SpacePolice: In the Jason Aaron penned ''Thors'', the various Thor and similarly powered heroes (like Beta Ray Bill) across the multiverse come together to form what is described as "''Homicide: Life on the Street'' with lots of cosmic cops". Aaron elaborates that "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."
35	* TheStarsAreGoingOut: The Thors believe that the stars were plucked out of the sky to create their Mjolnirs.
36	* TortureAlwaysWorks: Averted in ''Thors''. Ultimate Thor refuses to let [[CowboyCop Rune Thor]] "interrogate" a suspect because he wants to know that whatever he gets out of them is the truth, not just whatever will stop the pain.
37	* UnPerson: [[spoiler:Jane Foster]], who is hunted by the serial killer in Thors, doesn't seem to exist (nobody can identify her, no files etc.) which makes the investigation that much harder.
38	* WhamShot: The end of Thors, [[spoiler:Ultimate Thor's hammer falls to Old Asgard in the new 616.]]
