Jen's Pick of the Month

Thor By J Michael Straczynski TP Vol 1

Thor is back! And in a story only J. Michael Straczynski could tell! Returned to the pantheon of great Marvel heroes, the Asgardian God of Thunder is reunited with the mortal form of Dr. Don Blake. Together, they must reckon with the legacy of the mythic Norse kingdom and the awakening of its immortal heroes - but in a world that may not want them back! Collecting THOR #1-6

Being a fan of mythology, I figured Thor would be a good Marvel book for me to check out, and I soon discovered it was a good choice.  Straczynski’s storytelling unravels a great tale of Thor returning and bringing Asgard, along with the other gods, back to the Marvel universe.
