The most recent entry on this list is writer Jason Aaron‘s run on the character, which has now spread across three different volumes over five years– Thor: God of Thunder, Thor, The Mighty Thor, the mini-series Thors, and most recently, The Unworthy Thor. 1-3, Thor: Goddess of Thunder, and The Mighty Thor Vol. ThorĬollected in Thor: God of Thunder Vol. If you can get past some of the ’60s cheesiness, there is much to treasure here.

Lee and Kirby were able to take the Norse mythology and tweak it into something uniquely sci-fi and uniquely Marvel.

Next to their run on Fantastic Four, the greatest (and longest) Stan Lee and Jack Kirby collaboration was on Thor. The Mighty Thor OmnibusĬollecting Journey into Mystery #83-120 and Annual #1 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby For nearly five years, Simonson reinvigorated the world of the Thunder God, crafted epic battles with the likes of Surtur and Hela and the Midgard Serpent and introduced characters like Beta Ray Bill and the Thunder Frog (yes, there is a Thor Frog, and he’s awesome).
