Comic Picks – Week of 30/10/2013

All the Thor!
By Various
Marvel Comics

Liz says: By Odin’s Beard, steel thyself! What wondrous news is this?
In celebration of the cinematic release of Thor: The Dark World, we have ordered in mighty stacks of Mighty Thor! From his early days (handsomely collected in four-color goodness in lovely Marvel Masterworks editions) to the current Marvel Now! series, our shelves are stocked to the brim with the finest tales of the Thunder God. Pick up shiny new editions of Walt Simonson’s celebrated run for a fantastic read (and the introduction of Malekith the Accursed and the Dark Elves!) If you’re after a modern tale (which influenced the first Thor film), try the wonderful Straczynski series, which takes Asgard to small-town Oklahoma. Then follow it up with the Ultimate Collection by Kieron Gillen! These (and many more) are stories that I love and highly recommend, and if going to see Thor: The Dark World makes you want to explore the Nine Realms a while longer, pick up one of these great books- FOR ASGARD!
