Speaking of ’90s vibes, Simonson introduces an interesting element to Thor in this series as he wears a red mask from his cape. It’s only a three-page scene, but it’s reminiscent of Wolverine taking out the guards in Weapon X and has a ’90s vibe that’s unmistakable. It’s also a great opportunity to see the remastered coloring by Steve Oliff. Simonson nails the revelry of this gun-toting alien god with some of the greatest comic pages in existence. That Skurge scene mentioned above is so damn iconic and well done he’s barely been used since. What’s good about it?Īsgard no more! This is a scan from an older issue before this volume’s recoloring.
Highlights include that time Loki and Thor slept with the same woman, some iconic Tooth-Gnasher moments, and the iconic Skurge machine gun toting scene. This collection collects Thor #357 to #363 as well as Balder the Brave #1 to #4 and is written by Simonson with art by the great Sal Buscema.
This third volume continues the collection of Simonson’s epic run – completely remastered from the original artwork and dynamically recolored by Steve Oliff. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor.
His work on the MIGHTY THOR swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!įew people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has.
