Yo there, so I kind of want to get into Thor, but I want to know what the "best" Thor stories are. I know that Walt Simonson's run is the most acclaimed, but I'm just after stories to start rather than runs, because I have read comics for a while and though some writers have amazing runs others have meh runs with some great stories in them. Also, the good Thor story doesn't even necesarily be in Thor's own comics, he could have a badass story in a crossover, event, or hell in a team book (like Avengers).
So yeah, any thoughts for good Thor stories?
>Pic related is my [spoiler[unabashedly favorite Thor look[/spoiler]
Should I bother with earlier runs? How is Kirby's run?
Aaron Watson
DO NOT read events for good Thor stories (unless it is Ragnarok but even then only the Thor book Ragnarok stories)
Self contained stories start with >For Asgard by Robert Rodi >Thor and Loki Blood Brothers by Robert Rodi >Heaven and Earth by Jurgens
Then buck the fuck up and read Simonson's run
Robert Brooks
The Mighty Thor: I, Whom the Gods Would Destroy

Fantastic. Best Lee/Kirby comic after Fantastic Four. You'd be fine skipping straight to Simonson, but there's nothing wrong with starting with Lee/Kirby.

Is Thor Ragnarok itself worth reading?
Evan Rodriguez
It's happened so many times it's not worth talking about it as a sole thing. It's easier to talk about authors and runs. Simonson's Ragnarok was a great payoff to a brilliant buildup
Stern had a good run too right, he practically invented the ragnarok cycle? Even if Simonson later contradicted it.
Hudson Russell
Did Stern do a Thor run? I'm a bit of a fan of Stern so wouldn't necessarily be opposed to reading that.
Adam Wilson
Walt Simonson's run is great I'd also check out Ragnarok it is not a Marvel Thor story but it is essentially Simonson doing what he would do if Marvel told him to tell the Last Thor story

almost every run of Thor is good he's probably the most consistently written Big 2 character
