Chris's Invincible Super-Blog summed up this issue rather nicely in his reviews this week and, not seeing anyway I could do better, I've chosen to just quote his review.

After Odin calls her a trollop for having a four-way with the dwarves of Nidavellir, the Enchantress curses the earth with a literal, honest-to-Asgard rain of blood (from a lacerated sky), which causes every man who has ever died to walk the earth until Thor kills them all again, which he does by wrangling The Blood Colossus, only to flip out and murder a town when he finds out that they ate his horses.

Seriously. That’s what happens. And it is awesome.

Honestly, it doesn't get much better than this issue and I'm almost at a loss as to how to describe the unquantifiable amount of awesomeness contained within this issue. If possible, I think I enjoyed this issue more than the first issue and I would love to see Fraction and Zircher do a Thor: Year One style graphic novel after they finish up on this series as this is just fantastic work from both of them.

Verdict - Must Read. Even if you dislike Thor, in general, or JMS's current run on the book, I still think you'd be a fool to pass up this comic.
