JMS run on Thor was my introduction to the character. As someone who never really cared about Thor(I like him a lot now due to loving mythologies and larger than life gods and heroes) and JMS really grounded Thor. Literally in the setting but also delved into the human side of Thor, focusing on his god status and its relation to mortals. I can absolutely see why the first Thor movie borrowed a lot from this run(still the best Thor film. Love and Thunder can suck it.) with the small town elements. All in all, if there is ONE run of Thor or Omnibus you should pick it; it's this one. JMS did wonders on Spider-Man and also Thor. And also, if you haven't seen Babylon 5, WATCH IT. The best Sci-fi series ever made. Not even close.
This was my first Thor run. Sad that JMS left and all the drama involved that but Gillen did a great job as a continuation. Makes sense that it was combined.
Was hoping someone else noticed that! The Mjolnir on the standard cover goes really well with the design of the Jason Aaron omnis imo, so it was a hard choice. But that lightning bolt sold me.
I ordered this from Organic Prices Books. With the way DMs are selling out I wanted to make sure I got it since this is my most wanted Omni of the year.
Thank you for the overview Omar! Super excited for this. Super excited for the Cates one next year. Super excited for when Immortal Thor By Ewing gets the omni treatment. My Thor collection will be perfect! Take care and peace everyone.
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I CAN’T WAIT ! I had goosebumps watching this overview bro. This is gonna be a great gap filler. Loved both of these guys runs. Thor is getting alot of omnilove and I am glad. Love the way they mapped these issues too. I’m so excited ! Amazing overview as usual bro ! 🤘🏾⚡️
Can’t wait. One of my favorite runs of all time. And like you said, Thor was dead for like 3 years at the time!!! What a great welcome back and done right!
Man Thor was my mom’s favorite comic character. I remember getting her the trade of vol 1 of this series and her telling me how she read the Mighty Thor as a kid. This is why I love reading comics because I get to remember my parents stories and experiences from their time reading comics. Great overview brother.
I forget, remind me - What term did we arrive on to describe that moment you slide a missing omni into the shelf gap that brings such strong feelings of completeness and satisfaction? (At 04:30 )? Was it slidisfaction? 🤔
I would totally get this if I didn't already have the original JMS Thor Omni and two amazing custom Gillen Omnis that include all of his work on in Thor and Journey into Mystery.
what am I going to do with HC polish version of Straczynski's run, Gillen's SC Complete Collection and four issues of Siege from some PANINI Marvel collection :P ?@@JennySparkz
I bought the original omnibus of this but then had to get to Gillen TPB and Siege HC to continue the story. Would consider upgrading if there’s a significant sale. Hate double dipping the same material. Means I have to sell stuff.
The red Marvel Omnibus section of the spine is driving me nuts now it's on my shelf with the others. Why did they have to make it bigger so it looks misaligned? :(
@CarlosDias-er6dd The Simsonson material is excellent BUT keep in mind, they recolored a lot of those issues. If you do not like that, I'd avoid it. Personally, JMS run is my favorite, with Simonson's coming a close second. You won't go wrong securing this Omnibus because it's really great content wise.
Simonson by far for me. JMS starts interestingly with the gradual rebirth of the Asgardians, but soon spends as much time in greasy spoon diners in Oklahoma as Simonson did in proper Asgard and the various fantastical realms and events. Plus the art in the JMS run is pretty mixed, Thor frequently looks really overweight instead of muscular. The couple of issues that Marko Djurdjevic did look great, though.
Jurgens through Cates we'll have ny end of the year. Now Thor is rhe best modern collected in omnibus format. DD is missing a few issues in rhe Bendis omnibus that BMB didn't write, plus Ninja. Missing the McKay DD miniseries too.
Where is the Milligan annual placed? Also, the Milligan story from Dark Reign: The Cabal and BMB's Siege Prologue didn't seem to be included right before Siege #1, unless I missed it? The Dark Reign one is listed in the credits at the start, at least, but the other one is not. And from your showing the book seems to skip from Thor #606 to Siege #1. Is that right?
Looking forward to having this in my collection and having an uninterrupted Thor run from Jurgens through Aaron! I do wish they’d reveal the spines at the same time as they reveal the covers though. Now I have to try and change my preorder to avoid that wraparound image
Hmmm, i was just wanting the Gillen omnibus… I already have the Strazyncski half in the first omnibus.What to do... I'm also missing Wicked vol.4, lol!
I have a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Which omnibus should I get or preorder? I really wanted volume 1 of Captain America by Ed Brubaker but it’s out of stock... What would you recommend?
Not sure I will get my dm pre-order and paid for copy of this omnibus. Shipping damages and low print run inventories make getting these books tricky. Seems like ordering a book months in advance is not a guarantee anymore.
I read all Thor from Dan Jurgens to Jason Aaron and some of Donny Cates' run, IMO this is the last great Thor run, as all other runs beyond it just focus on trashing the characters instead of building them up. Matt Fraction's run is just focused on resetting stuff for Fear Itself and move things around for a bit like the "new Asgard" but beyond that it's dull and retcons a LOT of stuff like Odin's personality. Jason Aaron's run does God Butcher pretty good but beyond that it's not all that good beyond the art.
I'm one of the people who didn't like the nee character design. The custome is not as bad, but we should be able to see those arms! I also don't like how sometimes he looks fat. That face is also too weird.
😂 i would never call Copiel one of my favorite artists and yep his faces can sometimes be "iffy" but I LOVED the redesigned costume and for some reason Copiel's art just "enhanced" the, The epicness of this run.
Love how much of Thor is getting the omnibus treatment.
Definitely
Coipel was my favourite artist for such a long time. This is my definitive Thor.
You can now read Thor from 1998-2019 in omni form without missing an issue. Awesome
I def prefer omnis over floppies
Plus Thor by Cates will be out in September. So you can bump that up to 2023
I love how huge and fully packed this is! Amazing!
JMS run to me is what Aaron's run is to most people. I loved this run honestly.
Looking forward to a huge binge read of Thor once I get this later this month.
This is the first omnibus of the year that I am going to buy! So good to have the opportunity to read so many years of Thor's comics

Babylon 5 is great but it's no TNG or Battlestar Galactica.
I’m really excited for this. Straczynski’s Thor was the very first Thor comics I read when I was a kid

That lightning bolt continuity onto the Fraction spine looks awesome on the shelf!

Wow. I like what they've done with this reprint. Gives people something additional to be excited about. Love that it fills the gap snugly.

Best Thor run

This is exactly what I’ve been looking forward to!

When JMS heard who the options were, he said I'll do it😂😂😂😂
this is where i started reading thor in 2022
SAME!!!
Wow! Didn’t realise the DM cover was a wraparound! Thanks for the video Omar I wound up ordering that version instead!
Fantastic!! I really miss when comic runs used to have a really long stretch of just having the same writer and artist
My first full marvel run that i read from start to finish
I NEED IT
This'll be my first Thor Omni
I've always wanted to read this story. Will have to purchase this book.
Now we need the Journey Into Mystery omnibus reprinted.
I forget, remind me - What term did we arrive on to describe that moment you slide a missing omni into the shelf gap that brings such strong feelings of completeness and satisfaction?
(At 04:30 )? Was it slidisfaction? 🤔
Awesome to see this come back and be expanded. Now if we can just get Heroes Return Vol.2 reprinted. 🤞
I would love JMS to come back to Thor with a run as long as Aaron's. His work with Thor & all of the 9 realms is just so great.
Yeah, SOLD,, I mean I've got the Fraction omnibus, the two Aaron omni's , so I gotta get this one too. Easy sale.
Love JMS' Thor! It's my favorite modern Thor run. Also give me DeFalco & Frenz' Thor!
The red tint looks a little funky... I'm trying to brace myself.
Might pick this up. Would be my first Thor-omni in that case
It's probably the best Thor design, including the outfit since Walter Simonson Era.
I would totally get this if I didn't already have the original JMS Thor Omni and two amazing custom Gillen Omnis that include all of his work on in Thor and Journey into Mystery.
New intro is looking 🔥
Very excited for this book 🎉
I’m so excited to see this is finally being released! I’ve wanted to read this book forever,but I couldn’t afford the first print!👍🏼👍🏼
I didn’t realize I needed this book. The review envy strikes again! It looks awesome.
3 years without Thor comics? I had no idea. What was I doing during that time?
Oh riiight...those were my long bubble bath years.
What I hate is trying to sell, what you've already collected in other formats, just to have the clean place for the omni :D :D :D
I feel your pain
what am I going to do with HC polish version of Straczynski's run, Gillen's SC Complete Collection and four issues of Siege from some PANINI Marvel collection :P ?@@JennySparkz
Yes to that Lady Loki!
I bought the original omnibus of this but then had to get to Gillen TPB and Siege HC to continue the story.
Would consider upgrading if there’s a significant sale. Hate double dipping the same material. Means I have to sell stuff.
The red Marvel Omnibus section of the spine is driving me nuts now it's on my shelf with the others. Why did they have to make it bigger so it looks misaligned? :(
Which is better, this one or the Walter Simonson omnibus?

Personally, JMS run is my favorite, with Simonson's coming a close second. You won't go wrong securing this Omnibus because it's really great content wise.

Jurgens through Cates we'll have ny end of the year. Now Thor is rhe best modern collected in omnibus format. DD is missing a few issues in rhe Bendis omnibus that BMB didn't write, plus Ninja. Missing the McKay DD miniseries too.
We need Thor by DeFalco/Frenz vol.1!
Now Marvel pleeeeaase reprint Hero's return vol 2, so I can start reading these.
Waiting on Amazon to ship me mine
Where is the Milligan annual placed? Also, the Milligan story from Dark Reign: The Cabal and BMB's Siege Prologue didn't seem to be included right before Siege #1, unless I missed it? The Dark Reign one is listed in the credits at the start, at least, but the other one is not. And from your showing the book seems to skip from Thor #606 to Siege #1. Is that right?
is there a reason this omnibus is not yet available for pre-order (as it comes out later this month)? is it already sold out?
Looking forward to having this in my collection and having an uninterrupted Thor run from Jurgens through Aaron!
I do wish they’d reveal the spines at the same time as they reveal the covers though. Now I have to try and change my preorder to avoid that wraparound image
Honestly think marvel should’ve done the same thing with Aaron’s ghost rider and Daniel Ways ghost rider. Combine them into one omnibus
Man, I need to read Thor by J. Michael Straczynski. Hell, I'll read anything in Marvel Comics.
Now to just hold out for Heroes Return Vol 2 Reprint. Can't justify paying 300 dollars for a copy off ebay
Hmmm, i was just wanting the Gillen omnibus… I already have the Strazyncski half in the first omnibus.What to do...
I'm also missing Wicked vol.4, lol!
Now we desperately need Jurgens omni vol 2 reprint
I have a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Which omnibus should I get or preorder? I really wanted volume 1 of Captain America by Ed Brubaker but it’s out of stock... What would you recommend?
Not sure I will get my dm pre-order and paid for copy of this omnibus. Shipping damages and low print run inventories make getting these books tricky. Seems like ordering a book months in advance is not a guarantee anymore.
Glad I didn’t get the original so I can get this one with cabal
Is the modern Thor any good?
I read all Thor from Dan Jurgens to Jason Aaron and some of Donny Cates' run,
IMO this is the last great Thor run, as all other runs beyond it just focus on trashing the characters instead of building them up.
Matt Fraction's run is just focused on resetting stuff for Fear Itself and move things around for a bit like the "new Asgard" but beyond that it's dull and retcons a LOT of stuff like Odin's personality.
Jason Aaron's run does God Butcher pretty good but beyond that it's not all that good beyond the art.
The biggest appeal to this book is Iron Man getting ragdolled for creating the Ragnarok android
Thank god we were saved from Millar Thor

THE Thor run, up there with Simonson's run. The DM spine looks UGLY as hell tho
Really can't hack Bendis. He's terrible.
