(W) Walt Simonson, Alan Zelenetz (A) Various (A/CA) Walt Simonson
Legendary writer/artist Walter Simonson begins his character-redefining THOR run, still considered by many to be one of the greatest in comic book history!
"DOOM!" With that iconic effect, Walter Simonson shattered all expectations. As both writer and artist, his THOR was nothing short of a revelation, one that has been held up next to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's as the greatest of all time. Simonson's stories instantly establish cosmic stakes and a mastery of the series' characters. As his epic unfolds, he introduces Beta Ray Bill - a hero so bold and true that he can lift Mjolnir - and Malekith, a villain so cunning that he could unleash the Casket of Ancient Winters...and worse! And so, the Marvel Masterworks are very proud to begin their presentation of Walter Simonson's MIGHTY THOR, painstakingly restored from his original art and matching the coloring of the original comics!

For sixty years and counting, the Thing has been one of Marvel’s most beloved icons! The exploits of the Fantastic Four’s ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing have always been defined by finding the biggest bad guy available and walloping the heck out of him. But the stories that open the penultimate MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE MASTERWORKS take a more urgent tone as the Thing races to find anyone and everyone who can save his compatriot Giant-Man from the ravages of cancer. It’s a moving saga that reveals the heart of the FF’s gruffest member. The Thing will also give you a dose of the action you crave, battling micro-sized gladiators alongside Ant-Man, slinging suds (and knuckles) with Sandman and even seeing if he can help Machine Man and Jocasta put a dent in Ultron’s adamantium exterior!
