Two volumes of Dan Jurgens and John Romita Jr.’s Thor: Heroes Return cover the Asgardian god’s return to the modern age of comics for 85 issues. That is as far as Marvel has collected the classic title in omnibus format, but Thor has been treated even better in regards to his later runs, especially recently. Walter Simonson’s iconic run with Sal Buscema also has its own volume, which includes most Thor issues between #337 and #382. Three Silver Age omnibuses exist, the last of which was released in 2017 alongside the previous film Thor: Ragnarok, and together they collect the original title from Journey into Mystery #83 up to Thor #194, covering the entire Stan Lee and Jack Kirby era, with John Buscema taking up the pencils for Lee’s final issues. That is not to imply Thor has been treated poorly in terms of omnis frankly, I just wanted to make that ‘love and thunder’ pun. So, with interest in Thor at an all-time high, it’s the perfect time for Marvel’s publishing arm to give Thor some more love (and thunder) in the omnibus department, and our aim today is to ascertain just how they should go about it! Thor’s had knockout run after knockout run in comics for the last several years, and with the release of the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder film this will be the first character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get a fourth solo film.
