Story and art by Walter Simonson. 

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson's work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. 

This first volume begins the collection of Simonson's epic run - completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliffe!

I was thinking about listing 150 books, but I am going to wait until next month. A ton of nice stuff in the marketplace lately. 

Even the Kardashians can't keep up when @october rocks a sales thread.

Everybody’s got their own taste. I rather like this cover and enjoyed reading the series by Hernandez. 

Not too familiar with this cover but it looks like pencils are by Hernandez and inks are by Stevens. Or is it the other way around? Either way, definitely a collaboration that works for me. Great pickup!
