Actually, no. It's a new TPB, highlighting their fight during Jurgen's run.
Here's the solicitation:

It's the God of Thunder vs. the Mad Titan, and the stakes are higher than ever as writer Dan Jurgens introduces perilous new threats to both Asgard and Earth! Thanos has gathered artifacts that threaten Earth's very existence, and he's got the all-powerful Mangog at his side! For all his godly strength, can even Thor prevail against the might of two such powerful cosmic figures? Plus: Thor, Odin and the Scarlet Witch battle Enrakt the Enchanter in another dimension, while Loki gets up to more of his usual mischief! It's hammer-tossing, thunderous action just the way you like it! Collecting THOR (1998) #18-25 and ANNUAL 2000.

Thor: 'I need a horse!'
Pet Store Clerk: 'We don't have horses. Just dogs, cats, birds...'
Thor: 'Then give me one of those large enough to ride.'

Nice Halloween Present.

20 DAYS











*without words*

[Lady Marion]

19 DAYS











Agent Coulson: 'You made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. That's hurtfull. In my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. Why don't you tell me where you received that training? Pakistan? Chechnya? Afghanistan? No, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. Where was it? South Africa? Certain groups pay very well for a mercanery like you. Who are you?'

[Lady Marion]

Countdown update for me and the other people who watch it on October 31.

[Lady Marion]

18 DAYS







Loki: 'Father is dead.'

Thor: '....What?...'

Loki: 'Your banishment, the threat of a new war... it was too much for him to bear.You mustn't blame yourself. I know that you loved him. I tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. It was so cruel to put the hammer within your reach knowing that you could never lift it. The burden of the throne has fallen to me now.'

[Lady Marion]

17 DAYS

Thor: 'For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.'

Lady Marion,
You continue to ROCK!

[BigThor]

Agreed

[Lady Marion]

Of course, I do.

[Lady Marion]

16 DAYS








Laufey: 'So you're the one who showed us the way into Asgard?'
Loki: 'That was just a bit of fun, really. To ruin my brother's big day, and to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer.

Luckily, I have the best wife in the world, who encourages my collection!!! (because it makes holidays and birthdays easy for her, methinks!)

Just thought I'd share. And thanks again for doing this thread, L.Marion!

Damn, how much have you spent on that collection? How did your most expensive comic cost?

Well, a lot of '80s and later stuff I got when I was growing up, or when it was in the dollar bin somewhere, or for cheap at various cons, etc., so I don't really know how much I've spent on it total. But when I'm buying older stuff I try not to break the bank, so I don't go all out and buy perfect/mint condition copies. I'm patient, so I can wait for good deals, too. I need the comic to be intact, and I like the covers to have some good brightness to them and not be bent/cut/torn up, drawn on, or taped (if possible), but other than that I'm not too finicky.

By far the most expensive single comic I have is Silver Surfer #4, which has IMO one of the best covers feature Thor ever! It was a gift, so I'm not supposed to know how much it cost , but I think it was about $200. Personally, I don't think I've ever put down more than $50 for a single issue, but if I want to (someday) finish my collection, I'll eventually have to.

Other than traveling (which I don't have much time for any more), I don't have any other expensive hobbies, so I can manage just collecting Thor.

Do some of the Thor comics from the 80s cost a lot? I thought they were mostly the same price now. You're also gonna have to spend a lot on the rest of your collection, the least expensive version of Journey into Mystery 83 costs some 950 dollars

Yeah, I'll be getting that after I win the lottery!

As for the 80s stuff (like, the Simonson era), you could probably find a big lot on ebay that is mostly complete, and the cost per issue would be pretty cheap. Like, less than a dollar an issue probably.
