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. ![]() ![]() ![]() She holds the pretense of being upset at first but really she just doesn’t do anything about it. It’s weird cause she’s sorta being portrayed as some strong willed independent woman but her actions say the complete opposite, everyone in the book basically just pushes her around and forces her into unfavourable situations and she just goes along with it. She had zero reason and just DID NOT THINK. Persephone is mind-blowingly ignorant and clueless and I just couldn’t understand any of her actions or decisions she made. ![]() I feel like the problem is that it lures you in with the premise of an unique and creative modern day retelling of Persephone and Hades (which sounds amazing btw if there actually is a good version of this please let me know) but it really just is a cliche billionaire romance with Greek god characters.Įverything that I deeply deeply disliked: ![]() I’m very sad to say I’m pretty disappointed with this book. ![]() |
