Some silly stories from issues 83 to They aren't the best, and in places it feels like a re-write of some of the stories from , but they're worth a look. There are some pretty unmemorable villains here, most of them just B-grade villains from other series, but fans of Thor might be interested in reading more from his early days. Apr 11, Malum rated it liked it Recommends it for: Thor completionists or those wanting so see some iconic first appearances. Shelves: marvelgraphic-novelsthor. I have mixed feelings about this book. First of all, it contains comics from the 60s, which I don't particularly care for. They all seem to boil down to a monster of the week plot where the hero gets smacked around for a while until they have a "Of course! Why didn't I think of this before? Some of the stories from this era are even copied from one book to the next. For example, over in The from this period ther I have mixed feelings about this book. For example, over in The Fantastic Four from this period there was a story about shape- changing aliens invading earth. After they were defeated, the remaining aliens that were left on Earth were changed into something harmless. Here, we get the same plot and the same ending only in Thor the aliens were turned into trees rather than cows. The heroes are also inconsistent in these silver age comics. Thor has powers ranging from time travel and magnetism to expertly throwing his voice. If the plot needs it, Thor can do it. I can't Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder on this volume too much, though, because it has some very important issues tucked away inside. We get the first appearances of , , Mr. We also get our first glimpses of Asgard. It is also funny to see Thor getting constantly cock-blocked by . Jan 25, Michael Emond rated it it was ok. Oh dear - some early work holds up and some doesn't. I think the early Spider-man comics are still a treat to see but this collection shows that the EARLY Thor were very weak stories indeed. The problem is Stan seemed to still be trying to find a voice for the comic. I was all prepared to give this a 1 star but near the end it did get better. Thor has always been at his best when the stori Oh dear - some early Stan Lee work holds up and some doesn't. Thor has always been at his best when the stories embraced the North myths and were set in and around the characters of Asgard. When Loki starts to be a main villain. Also, near the end of the Thor stories he starts to become more Thor-like. Starting to talk a bit more like a God and less like an ordinary bloke from New York. We get to see the Enchantress and the - two primary villains for later adventures. But at the start there are some very bland and uninventive stories you have to wade through first. Jun 19, Joe Santoro rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Somehow, Thor really works with the usual silver age style. Sure, the first Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder dozen issues or so it's clearly meant to be a copy of Superman, but once they start to focus in on the mythology aspect more, it's really quite good for 60s silver age View all 4 comments. Various inkers really highlight his work, others not so much. Jun 20, Silas rated it really liked it. This is a collection of the very earliest Thor stories, which turn out to be rather later than I thought. Towards the end the and the X-Men show up. A lot of the plots revolve around Don Blake pining after his nurse Jane Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder who is also interested in himbut not feeling like he can have a relationship with her, because Odin forbids it for Thor.

The villains are not quite what I expected, with Mister Hyde, the Cobra, and the Grey Gargoyle showing up frequently, along Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder the expected Loki. One part I particularly liked was the Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder Tales of Asgard stories, which at the beginning hewed closely to Norse mythology enough to tell that the writers clearly went to the source materialbut departed after a while. Some elements were missing like Odin having one eye This was an interesting read that is not much like modern Thor comics, but the length of this book was definitely epic for this era of comics, so reading it took a lot of time. Jul 29, Elliot rated it really liked it Shelves: janelokithor. I love her costume design so much. As always Kirby's art is so cool and vibrant and really makes it a pleasure to read. Mar 16, Beau Johnston rated it really liked it Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder graphic-novels-comics. Other than the modern movies, and the infamous s cartoons I saw as a child, I knew nothing about Thor. I bought this graphic out of curiosity and wasn't disappointed. After finishing this graphic novel I re-watched the Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder movies, and got a lot more out of them so many little details I missed the first time around because I didn't know what to look for. If you like the Thor movies, read this graphic novel. You won't be disappointed. Oct 14, Alex added it Shelves: comicsdnfurban-fantasy. DNF'd on p. However, I did have to put it down not because I wasn't enjoying it but because the intense hyper masculinity and femininity of all of the characters did start to get to me after a while to the point of pulling me out of the stories as I was reading.

How would it have looked under other artists not able to match the design with raw power? Probably not as good. As he did in all his early superhero strips, Lee introduced an element of unrequited and complicated love, here seemingly taking Superman, Lois Lane and Clark Kent as inspiration. Matters are complicated by Odin, ruler of Asgard, forbidding his son to love a mortal, not understanding that love transcends royal decree. Lee finding the time to consider his plots more, and taking over the dialogue also helps, and he and Kirby begin to pack in an awful lot in thirteen page plots. The way toward that art is seen in the back-up strips investigating Asgardian mythology where Kirby reduces his panels per page from nine to four, with a resulting magnificence that survives some second rate inking in places. By the end of this collection the foundations that would see Thor through decades of comics have been laid. The Thor Epic Collection: the God of Thunder books are all hardcover.
