Post Your Favourite Thor Pictures

[Keyser Soze]

Here's a thread inspired by the "Post Your Favourite Green Lantern Pictures" thread over on the DC boards. Like with that thread, I'd imagine this could be moved over to the Thor boards when they go up, should it prove popular enough to justify it.

I'll start the ball rolling with arguably my favourite Thor picture, drawn by Marko Djurdjevic:

great thread, let's have less talk and more pictures, the green latern one has gone off course with discussions

[Keyser Soze]

That was one beautiful cover Coipiel drew for Thor #10. And I loved that Thor/Iron Man battle (if you can call that mauling a battle), with the above image just perfectly encapsulating how screwed Iron Man is at that moment.

I'm sure I have the issue with this scene in it, I recognise the art. I did buy the first few issues of the original "Heroes Return" Thor reboot, though at the time I was too young to really appreciate it, I think.

[TheCorpulent1]

Those first few issues were great. I especially liked the team-up with Namor. It lost its way a bit after the big fight with Thanos in #25, but it got back on course in the 40s after Odin died and Thor ascended to the throne.

Anyway, Thor totally fights his friends a lot and, for some reason, artists love to capture it in really tight close-ups:

Thor's had a variety of costumes over the years. There's the classic Kirby costume, of course, which we have plenty of pics of already, and then...

the Simonson armor:

[Keyser Soze]

Looking at that costume gallery, I have to say that out of them all, its Thor's current costume that's my favourite.

And I really need to read that issue with Skurge's last stand. It's in the God-Size Special, but I never got round to really looking at it.

If you're planning to read earlier Thor stuff now that you're becoming a fan of the character, hold off and read it with the rest of the arc in the Simonson trades. It's a great story and Skurge's sacrifice means all the more knowing his motivations and getting a feel for who he was before.

Ultimate Thor is easily the most awesome, best drawn version in any universe, ever :D

One of my favorite parts of Jurgens' King Thor Saga in Thor's second series. Spider-Man is in awe of Thor after Thor teleports a nuclear explosion--not the nukes themselves, mind you, the actual nuclear explosion after they've detonated--away, keeping Asgard and, by extension, New York City, which it was floating over at the time, safe.

Yes. The Buscema brothers in particular have done some great work with Thor. I prefer John's, but Sal's time wasn't half-bad. He's part of why Eric Masterson wasn't a total waste as Thor's fill-in.

Seeing Thor and the Hulk fighting just depresses me now. Too many years of Thor having the absolute f***ing worst record of any comparable powerhouse against the Hulk in their many fights.

I don't know, that must be Deodato's thing because he did the same thing with Ares. He's admitted character design is one of his weaknesses. That Thor pic looks so badass though that it doesn't even matter. It's just so good.

I think Deodato has improved so much since the 90s.He's one of my favs now and can still hold his own and even surpass some of today's artists.

He's definitely improved, which is commendable. He's still not one of my favorites, though.

The chained hammer is just silly. It returns to him anyway, and the chain would limit his throwing range.

Geez. I remember when the Lai brothers were announced as the new "permanent" artists on Thor. They lasted for like two issues and then switched to just covers and then they were gone. :huh:

He's been my favorite comic artist since I was a little kid reading PAD's Hulk with Deodato on pencils. Take it from a Hulk fan, he does one of the top 3 Hulks of all time, easily. Keown, Gary Frank, and Deodato are the best Hulk artists ever, and his art was 100% better during Bruce Jones' run on the Hulk.

And his work on T-Bolts and now on Dark Avengers is just the best he's ever been.

Speaking of Gary Frank, Hulk, and Thor...

Red's a pussy. All Thor's imitators are, to some extent, compared to the real deal. I gotta post the pics of Thor utterly wiping the floor with Eric Masterson later. Same powers and Masterson even has Mjolnir, but Thor still beats the holy f***ing hell out of him. :)

[SuperFerret]

Thor's immortal-ish, he's had a very long time to hone those powers, where Masterson did not.

Well, they did continue it. It was initially only 6 issues but it got extended to 12.

As for Ultimate vs. 616, I'll take the King Thor armor or Coipel's redesign any day. The only visually interesting thing about Ultimate Thor is the glowy discs. His hammer is like a bad anime weapon--ridiculously oversized and silly-looking.

Yeah, but it's by the same guys who've brought us the last few DTV movies, so I'm not particularly enthused. I mean, it's great exposure for Thor and I'm glad it's getting made, I just don't think I'll wind up enjoying it too much.

[Vartha]

Thor Son of Asgard was awesome. I heard that due to its popularity they were going to continue it. LIARS!

I heard that and ignored that Son of Asgard was a take off of Smallville becasue TALES OF ASGARD was around YEARS before Smallville and Tales of Asgard was alot like Son of Asgard which you'll find out in a couple months with the reprints if you are familar with it.

Marvel really needs to start a Tales of Asgard series FROM the mini coming out.

[TheCorpulent1]

I get the feeling that the Tales of Asgard reprints are Marvel's way of feeling out whether there's a real market for a new Tales series after the success of the Ages of Thunder one-shots. I hope I'm right about that and that whoever winds up on a new ToA series takes some inspiration from the Son of Asgard series. :up:

And the pane right before it where Thor gives his rebuttal to Superman.

[TheCorpulent1]

Tales of Asgard is not the same thing as Son of Asgard.
They're very similar. Tales of Asgard features tales of various characters from throughout Asgard's history, including Thor and the rest of the current series' main characters in their younger years. Son of Asgard just stripped away the other stuff and focused solely on them. So it's like a more focused subset of Tales of Asgard.

Anyone want to add that awesome Dark Reign Thor/Loki teaser poster? It's over on Marvel.com, but their silly copyright thing won't let me access the image to save it.

And the pane right before it where Thor gives his rebuttal to Superman.

I love the part where he lets Clark use the hammer for a time and then afterwards is all smug when Superman can't lift it and gets all flustered. :hehe:

One of my favorite pencil sketches of Thor, by John Romita, Jr.:

We met Thor's grandfather Bor in JMS' run. Here's his great-grandfather Buri, going under the alias Tiwaz here:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/Thor_1985_355_04.jpg

Their relationship proved to be much friendlier, as Buri just hung out with Thor and nursed him back to health after Thor was wounded in a battle. :up:

One of several times Thor has died. This one's from the first arc of Thor vol. 2 by Jurgens and Romita, Jr.:

[Vartha]

wow NICE I can't find #2 of vol 2, always wondered what happend.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Destroyer pretty much beats Thor to death while the Avengers watch, powerless to stop it. :)

An apparently new god called Marnot joined Thor with Jake Olsen, who was killed in the fight between Thor and the Destroyer, and Thor was restored to life.

[Vartha]

MAN I want that issue. I have where Thor's killed, but not past that.
Wait I thought Marrot was Odin's raven's?

[TheCorpulent1]

He is, but I didn't want to spoil it for you. I didn't know what you'd read in vol. 2 and what you hadn't.

His real name's Hescamar and the Unofficial Appendix to the Marvel Handbook website has a pretty awesome entry on him (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/marnotts.htm). :up:

[Vartha]

Dude I don't care about being spoiled about an issue I can't find that's years old. lol

[Vartha]

dang thought I had #3 I have 1, 4, 5, then the nest issue's 29

[TheCorpulent1]

Aw, you missed the Thanos arc too? You should try to find #21-25. Best arc of the series before the King Thor stuff kicked in.

Oh, right. That sucks. :csad:

That's Herc's retelling of a fight he and Thor got into, by the way, so it's not meant to be taken seriously. ;)

What number was that cover where Thor is battling Heimdall on the Rainbow Bridge and Heimdall's got his Flame Sword? Anyone remember that one?

Artist's Comments
Want to a funny story that will bring a tear to your eye?

Of course you do. You're still reading this. So I get a call from an Art Director friend of mine on Saturday as I was preparing to get my place ready for the Fedor/Arlovski fight. He asked me if I could submit a last minute design for the Thor movie that Marvel is doing.

Over course I was thrilled. They needed it Monday morning. Fine, whatever! They could of needed it in a few hours and I would of complied. It's Thor! Hell, I did design work for [link] Superhero, the Movie - I was waiting for a REAL superhero movie to come along!

Anyway, I factored in a few things. Like creating a suit that could successfully pad an actor and give him some heroic bulk, etc. I also knew that the colors had to be a bit more subdued than the Kirby comic book. And sadly, I had to come up with something that wouldn't look ridiculous on. A tall order.

So, I did what I could and enjoyed every minute of it. I managed about 65% of what I envisioned. Generally that's a decent success when it comes to applying your vision to paper.

I even incorporated the marks on Thor's plates into his logo...

Here's the sad part. I turned it in and that's when the AD mentioned it was a design for the ANIMATED movie. I just assumed it was for the Live Action film I've heard buzz about... Clearly I need to learn to ask more questions...! Assumption is the mother of all... what's the word I'm looking for?

Hell, at least I got to design a Thor costume, right?

[RAMORE]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing:D

wow cool 3D, to ME they look more like Herc than either 616 or Ulty Thors. NICE finds Ramore!

[Keyser Soze]

Aw, you missed the Thanos arc too? You should try to find #21-25. Best arc of the series before the King Thor stuff kicked in.

I seem to remember hearing that Starlin had it retconned so it wasn't Thanos, but a Thanos clone or something, am I thinking of the right story?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. That was lame, but the original Thanos story in Thor's comic was not. Plus, it introduced Tarene. :)

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah. That was lame, but the original Thanos story in Thor's comic was not. Plus, it introduced Tarene. :)

I recall because Starlin also ret-cloned the storyline where Ka-Zar defeated Thanos, which I thought was wonderful. :woot:

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Starlin's kind of a b**** that way.

[Vartha]

Dangit now I want to read these freakin issues again. lol
yup I'm in hell, this is my hell can't read the books I really want too.


Ah well OH Corp I got a Xbox 360 REAL cheap, Renting Viking:battle for Asgard, VERY nice, looking forward to the Thor games.

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh man, I forgot that there'll be obligatory Thor games to tie into the movie. I hope they break the movie tie-in tradition and are actually good.

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, Starlin's kind of a b**** that way.
Yeah, retcons blow.

[TheCorpulent1]

Not all. But Starlin's retcons specifically aimed at making Thanos a ridiculously unbeatable badass definitely do.

[Vartha]

Oh man, I forgot that there'll be obligatory Thor games to tie into the movie. I hope they break the movie tie-in tradition and are actually good.
Well Sega the people that made Viking:batle for Asgard will be making Thor. They also have the rights to Cap if I'm not mistaken, Thing is THIS game is like an opening for Thor and I love it.

[Anubis]

That's why it's great that Squirrel girl beat him and the Watcher was there to confirm that it was actually Thanos and not a Clone and or alternate universe version.

[TheCorpulent1]

Starlin: It was a clone; Thanos just made this one so good that it even fooled the Watcher!!!11
Well Sega the people that made Viking:batle for Asgard will be making Thor. They also have the rights to Cap if I'm not mistaken, Thing is THIS game is like an opening for Thor and I love it.

[Vartha]

Well if they brought the Thor Corps back it'd be without Thunderstrike and With Tarene more than likely.

[TheCorpulent1]

Then they could fight Ragnarok together. ;)

[Vartha]

OR ThunderStrike TWO could replace thunderStrike...he could hitch a ride from Dargo. lol

[TheCorpulent1]

Or Magni could replace him. :D :D :D

[Vanguard07]

Why have I never read anything with him in it then? Dammit!

[TheCorpulent1]

You probably didn't read the King Thor stuff. That's where all of Magni's material is.

This is what he looks like:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/Thor_v2_76_p3.jpg

[Vanguard07]

Is he wearing the belt of strength too? either way damn. Doesnt magni mean strength or something? Or he's the god of strength?
They should time warp him into the present 616 asap.

[TheCorpulent1]

He's the god of strength, but that's not the belt of strength. He is stronger than classic Thor, though. He was almost as strong as Thor in that period, when Thor had gotten much stronger thanks to actually learning more about how to use the Odinpower.

I'd like to see him again, but I wouldn't really want him to hang around the 616 universe indefinitely. He's too much like Thor. His whole purpose as a character was to act as a foil to show just how far Thor had fallen in this grim future.

[Vanguard07]

I'm sure they could easilly find a worthwhile place for him in the 616 though. Make him young, brash and inexperienced and have him apprentice with Herc for a while.

[Vartha]

That was what I said awhile ago.
Magni is God of Strength as in virtue as well as physical. Something with Magni Herc and Thor would ROCK.

[Vanguard07]

Yeah. It needs to happen.

[TheCorpulent1]

I certainly wouldn't be averse to it. Maybe Magni will come back to resolve this whole throne dispute. As the son of Thor, he has more claim to the throne than Balder, since Thor was the appointed heir to Odin and the line would only go through Balder if Thor were incapacitated and he had no heirs of his own.

Anyway, here's a cool scene featuring Tarene from back in her pre-Designate days, when she was just a scared young woman confronted by a giant, purple psycho:

One of my favorite Thor books as of late. I love the way Thor showed his pimp hand to Iron Man in this. IMO, he deserved it. :yay:

Stark: "How will I get back home?"

Thor: "Walk." :hehe:

[TheCorpulent1]

I liked how Thor didn't give a s*** about whatever authority Iron Man thought he had and Iron Man essentially 'compromised' by completely acquiescing to Thor while trying to save face with some diplomatic babble. Basically, the conversation broke down to:

Thor: Leave me and my people alone or I will f*** your s*** up even worse than I've just done.
Iron Man: Yes, sir. But can I call Asgard a sovereign territory to save face a little bit in front of all the other mortals?
Thor: Whatever, just get out of my face.

[Franklin Richards]

What was he thinking going alone? At least the FF wouldn't have underestimated him like that.



:ff: :ff: :ff:

[Kahoot]

Also, this is a little ****ed up when you realize that the horse in that picture is Loki's son.
That's one messed up family. I didn't know that was Loki at the end of Clerks II!

[TheCorpulent1]

What was he thinking going alone? At least the FF wouldn't have underestimated him like that.



:ff: :ff: :ff:
He was probably thinking that he and Thor were friends and Thor would understand that Tony did what he thought was right. Or maybe, since he didn't know about Don Blake's new status, he thought that Thor had just returned and maybe he could explain things before Thor found out about Clor.

Either way, he was wrong and it was lovely to watch. :)

[The Question]

That's one messed up family. I didn't know that was Loki at the end of Clerks II!

Especially since Loki was the mother of the horse.

I love that issue. Do you remember the one ish about 4-5 years ago where they squared off against each other and Thor nearly killed him? Cap was smart enough to get out of the way I recall.
That was probably around the time when I started to dislike Stark considerably.

Yep, "Standoff." One of the best parts of the King Thor saga. So good, in fact, that I made a wallpaper out of its covers (which is sadly too small for my current desktop):

Well, A: Not right now, and B: Turns out gender bending shapeshifting on his part has a precedent.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Loki's basically the Zeus of the Asgardians as far as spreading his seed goes. There was an arc in Amazing Spider-Man during JMS' run that revealed he's got a few demigod kids running around on Earth, too.

Those pencils are amazing! His work always gets watered down once it's inked. Shame.

[Mr. Green]

I see what you mean. I like when dudes like Ron Garney and Deodato use photoshop to darken pencils, avoiding the inks altogether.

I think the inking worked for SI though. It really helped it go well with the coloring and it seemed a lot cleaner. I don't know if it was inked when he was on NA though.

[TheCorpulent1]

[RogueDK]

I see what you mean. I like when dudes like Ron Garney and Deodato use photoshop to darken pencils, avoiding the inks altogether.

Yeah, I hear that that's the going thing nowadays.

[The Question]

Really?!

Yup. In the case of Slepnir, there was a wild (and mystical) stallion running around Asgard and ****ing **** up. Everyone, from Thor to Balder to Odin himself, tried to tame the beast, and they all failed. Then Loki stepped in to save the day, and was able to calm the Stallion down long enough to be captured by turning into a female horse and ****ing it. Of course, Loki got preggers and produced Slepnir, the magical eight legged horse that Odin rides. Ew.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's the mythological version, by the way. Loki wasn't involved in the birth of the Marvel version of Sleipnir. ;)

[Mr. Green]

What is that from?
I believe it is from Runaways, or maybe a Runaways mini.

[TheCorpulent1]

What? When the hell did Thor and the Hulk ever fight in a Runaways comic and how did I not hear about it? :huh:

This bears further examination...

[Vartha]

Yup. In the case of Slepnir, there was a wild (and mystical) stallion running around Asgard and ****ing **** up. Everyone, from Thor to Balder to Odin himself, tried to tame the beast, and they all failed. Then Loki stepped in to save the day, and was able to calm the Stallion down long enough to be captured by turning into a female horse and ****ing it. Of course, Loki got preggers and produced Slepnir, the magical eight legged horse that Odin rides. Ew.

The version I knew was the one Ages of Thunder was based on.
Loki changed into the mare to lure the Frost Giant's horse away as in the comic so the giant couldn't finish the wall. Well in the myth, Loki ended up getting chased by the stallion and a few months later returned with Slepnir in tow and he handed Slepnir over to Odin.

[TheCorpulent1]

All this Loki talk reminded me I'd scanned these a couple days ago. Forgot to post them:

In case anyone's confused, that's Surtur--the guy who killed Odin and with whom Odin is locked in eternal, equal struggle with every day in the afterlife--that Loki is taking on for a while all by his lonesome. :)

[RogueDK]

^^^Is that Simonson's work?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep.

[Keyser Soze]

Man, I need to go read Simonson's stuff. Loki just rules here. Maybe if those Asgardian douches were kind enough to show Loki some gratitude, the number of times he's bailed them outta a jam over the eons, he might be less inclined to wipe them all out. :)

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, no, Loki's still a jerk. Look at what he's fighting for when Thor and Odin join the fray later on:

Whoops sorry read the thread title incorrectly. lol.

[Keyser Soze]

HAHA, Loki is awesome.

[RAMORE]

Awesome:up: You guys know way too much about Thor it's crazy i'm reading trying to soak it up. Like when did Thor become king lose an arm and his arm is that a what if?

[Vartha]

Nope THAT Ramore, is the Regining arcs.
Odin Removes Thor's Humanity, Jake Olsen, and shortly after Odin dies killing Surtur, Thor becomes Lord of Asgard, moves Asgard ABOVE New York City, then we attack Asgard it falls on NYC killing thousands.
Hundreds of years later after Thor tries to improove life on Earth, the last superheroes try to stop Thor from doing what he's doing because he lacks the Humanity to UNDERSTAND the human way of thinking. Wolverine Slices into Thor's arm, Thor looses the arm as Magni is yet a baby.
Magni Grows up, Basically reasoning with Thor and Thor sets things straight by going back into the past and fixing one certain event, which in turn erases, that furture he just came from.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's an alternate future timeline that split off from the main Marvel universe's timeline. In both, Thor brings Asgard (the city) to float over Manhattan, much the same way the new Asgard is floating over that empty field in Oklahoma now. Only, you know, it's Manhattan, so people care a bit more in that case. Thor's humanity gets separated from him in the form of Jake Olsen, who gets killed when a cabal of corporate leaders destroy Asgard and, as a result, Manhattan. Thor, unencumbered by his humanity, kills the cabal and rebuilds New York in his own image as New Asgard, installs Loki as his chief of security, and marries the Enchantress. Over the years, he kills most of the other superheroes still around, losing an arm and an eye to Wolverine's claws in the process, Balder betrays him and is killed by Loki, and then he refashions pretty much all of North America (possibly the world, but I can't remember exactly how far his kingdom expanded) into a utopia.

But, like most utopias, it turns out to have a dark side--humans are treated as second-class citizens under Loki's security forces. Ultimately, this alien god-killer guy called Desak comes to Earth, merges with the Destroyer, and kills most of the remaining gods in Asgard. Thor, after being confronted by his son Magni, who's as noble as Thor used to be and hates what his father's become, is shown the error of his ways. He destroys the Destroyer/Desak and uses the Odinforce, along with some help from the future version of Tarene, to go back in time to before Jake Olsen is killed and re-merge him and the younger Thor. He also imparts his memories of his timeline into his younger, complete self so that he'll never make those same mistakes again. Thor, now armed with the knowledge of where his actions could lead, sends Asgard back to its own dimension before the cabal's raid brings it crashing down on Manhattan and the normal Marvel timeline is restored.

But we know from Kang, Exiles, Captain Britain, and various other time-traveling/dimension-hopping characters and stories that every Marvel timeline still exists somewhere out in the Omniverse, so it's still very possible that the Reigning's version of Magni could come back some day. :)

I need to read more Thor. He's a character that I love and I've pretty much immensely enjoyed every single one of his stories that I've read but just glancing through this thread I feel so intimidated.

[Mr. Green]

What? When the hell did Thor and the Hulk ever fight in a Runaways comic and how did I not hear about it? :huh:

This bears further examination...
Check this (http://manarama.deviantart.com/art/Thor-Hulk-and-Runaways-3-76086691) out. I don't know who Manarama is, or if this is fan art or for an actual comic but I swear I heard something about Thor being scheduled for a future guest-appearance in Runaways, I just can't remember the specifics.

I don't know.

[The Question]

That's the mythological version, by the way. Loki wasn't involved in the birth of the Marvel version of Sleipnir. ;)

Poo. Loki got toned down in the comics from the original version a lot, both in terms of cutting out a lot of the ****ed up yet insanely awesome **** from the myths like his being a baby-mama, but also a very long trend of just making him a one dimensionally evil villain that's only been rectified in the past eight years or so. There's a whole tradition in Norse mythology that depicts Loki actually being much more effective when it comes to helping humans than even Thor (as well as just as sincere), as he would actually solve difficult problems by thinking his way through them, instead of smashing things and assuming the day has been saved. He just also went very dark and killed Balder for revenge after Odin banished his children, and then went crazy and destroyed the world after Odin killed his two other children and bound him to a rock with his son's intestines with snake venom dripping into his eyes as punishment.

[Keyser Soze]

It's an alternate future timeline that split off from the main Marvel universe's timeline. In both, Thor brings Asgard (the city) to float over Manhattan, much the same way the new Asgard is floating over that empty field in Oklahoma now. Only, you know, it's Manhattan, so people care a bit more in that case. Thor's humanity gets separated from him in the form of Jake Olsen, who gets killed when a cabal of corporate leaders destroy Asgard and, as a result, Manhattan. Thor, unencumbered by his humanity, kills the cabal and rebuilds New York in his own image as New Asgard, installs Loki as his chief of security, and marries the Enchantress. Over the years, he kills most of the other superheroes still around, losing an arm and an eye to Wolverine's claws in the process, Balder betrays him and is killed by Loki, and then he refashions pretty much all of North America (possibly the world, but I can't remember exactly how far his kingdom expanded) into a utopia.

But, like most utopias, it turns out to have a dark side--humans are treated as second-class citizens under Loki's security forces. Ultimately, this alien god-killer guy called Desak comes to Earth, merges with the Destroyer, and kills most of the remaining gods in Asgard. Thor, after being confronted by his son Magni, who's as noble as Thor used to be and hates what his father's become, is shown the error of his ways. He destroys the Destroyer/Desak and uses the Odinforce, along with some help from the future version of Tarene, to go back in time to before Jake Olsen is killed and re-merge him and the younger Thor. He also imparts his memories of his timeline into his younger, complete self so that he'll never make those same mistakes again. Thor, now armed with the knowledge of where his actions could lead, sends Asgard back to its own dimension before the cabal's raid brings it crashing down on Manhattan and the normal Marvel timeline is restored.

But we know from Kang, Exiles, Captain Britain, and various other time-traveling/dimension-hopping characters and stories that every Marvel timeline still exists somewhere out in the Omniverse, so it's still very possible that the Reigning's version of Magni could come back some day. :)

That sounds pretty awesome. That's a great aspect to Thor's character, that he needs a Donald Blake or a Jake Olsen to keep him in touch with humanity.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, although in that case Olsen literally was Thor's humanity made human. The real Jake Olsen's spirit had moved on to Heaven in an earlier comic--an annual, I think. Seems like a similar deal with Blake now having his own personality even though he was never technically a person.
I need to read more Thor. He's a character that I love and I've pretty much immensely enjoyed every single one of his stories that I've read but just glancing through this thread I feel so intimidated.
It's like any character with a super-long history, really. Just pick an era and give it a try. The Simonson trades are always a great place to start, or you could go for the Jurgens run if you want something a bit more modern. The King Thor stuff is thankfully all in trades, from the Death of Odin right through the Reigning, but the earlier Jurgens stuff is sort of chopped up in smaller trades or not collected at all.

Seems like fan art because of the way he makes a joke of giving all the Marvel characters altered names. Still really awesome art, though. :up:

I'm definitely going to start with Simonson. I just got paid so thankfully I'm feeling a bit adventurous at the moment.

They're well worth it. :up:

As Skrull Hank said about Clor/Ragnarok after Clor killed Foster, it lacked the Human "anchor" so they had to adjust Clor because of that.
Odin PLANNED to get Thor the way he is. With EACH Ragnarok Odin "improoved" Thor.
The Humanity was basically the last improovement Odin made.

The last one is Air-Walker, who was an android herald of Galactus. He could hold it because he's an android, and I guess Mjolnir doesn't count robots as having souls for it to judge worthy or not.

Also, Storm is holding her own hammer from when she was temporarily transformed into a thunder goddess to replace Thor, not Mjolnir.

[Upset Spideyfan]

So Ultron could pick up Thor's hammer?

[TheCorpulent1]

That is Scot Eaton's art, who I believe is a man.

Yeah, probably. Kind of a lame exception to the worthiness rule, since the Vision and various other androids totally have souls.

[RogueDK]

But wasn't there a woman who did a couple of issues during this story arc? Or was it an inker? :huh:

[TheCorpulent1]

I love that Coipel's integrated fur into so many of the Asgardians' designs. It's such an obvious thing to put on them, yet so few costumes over the years have had it.

Speaking of costumes, let's look at some more. I posted most of Thor's important ones already. Here are some of his usually-purple-clad best friend, god of light, and second-best warrior in all of Asgard (or maybe third or fourth; it's never clear between him, Brunnhilde, and Sif), Balder:

As a boy in Son of Asgard (again):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/thorsonofasgard-4.jpg

Kirby's original design for him:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/balder.jpg

A modern variant of the purple, blue, and gold look he wore for the majority of his existence:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/127238-81303-balder_super.jpg

Simonson's take:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/balder1.jpg

Another take from an era of the comics I haven't read yet myself, so this one looks weird to me:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/balder-1.gif

Coipel's redesign, which I absolutely love:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/504866-balder_super.png

And, just for kicks, Loki killing Balder's punk ass in the dystopian future of The Reigning:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/678234-loki_kills_balder_2_super.jpg

Yeah, Loki's killing Balder for betrayal. Mmm, tasty irony.

[Keyser Soze]

Who is the baby Loki is holding?

[Upset Spideyfan]

Loki wearing Strange's cloak?

Dear God, I need to read that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Who is the baby Loki is holding?
That's Magni. Balder took him to protect him, since he, Dr. Strange, Wolverine, the Thing, the Hulk, and Captain America attacked Thor in his bedchamber, reasoning that that would be the place Thor's most vulnerable.
Loki wearing Strange's cloak?

Dear God, I need to read that.
Yeah, Loki essentially stripped Strange of his all his mystical artifacts when Thor took over. He taunts Strange about it later on. :)

Loki's King Lear posture says just about everything you need to know about the character.

Mentioned this one earlier, and it's more the dialogue than the art that makes me like it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/superferret/JLAvsAvengers.jpg
This last one was one I just came across online, and it's not the best I've seen from Bagley (though I like his art), it mostly grabbed my eye because I'm wondering how the Thor-Martian fight would go.
