I as a new reader honestly don't know what I would do without Omar's reading orders and this amazing, astonishing channel called NearMint Condition!!!

YES NMC YOU LEGEND! I’ve hoped for this video lately. Thor is one of my favourite characters. And I’ve just finished reading the Simonson run. 👌

The Thor Omni by Walter Simonson was my first omni and I absolutely love it!

It's time for Marvel to reprint that first Thor omni. It's been over a decade and omni sales are through the roof.

Thanks for this Omar. I know I’m watching it months after you posted it, but this and the Crushing Krises reading orders have been super helpful for me. My Thor collection is such a weird mess of whatever I can find for cover price or less. I have a hardcover MMW vol 1, a softcover Barnes and Novel MMW vol 2, Epic vol 2, and then JMS through Cates in various trades, hardcovers, and complete collections with plenty of gaps to fill in still. Looking forward to upgrading with the new omni coming out, especially since a lot of the epics now go for more than omnis.

i’m kind of new to comics. i’ve read the first TWD compendium, but that’s it. your videos have really helped me with understanding how to read marvel comics, since there’s so many.

One of my favorite character. Thanks a lot.

Can’t watch this video right now but I will later tonight. I really appreciate the amount of work you put in with these though, Omar!! :) Algorithm gang!

Another banger mi hermano, love this channel

I was like, yeah Thor reading order. And then... BAM!!!!! Avengers The Crossing cameo Made my day

Cant wait for part 2 alreadyyyyyy :D

One of the characters that I have nearly the full run for. Lots of people focus on just Stan & Jack, Simonson and then JMS and onward for Thor, but there are a bunch of good runs. We so badly need Thunderstrike fully collected. Then just a few more gaps to fill.

Looking forward for part 2 next week.

Excellent! 👍

Just postponed building my arcade machine to watch this reading order! Great job, brother!

16:52 Omar is Asgardian, confirmed.

You my dear Omar are simply KING of the comic kingdom 🙏🖖🍀 thanks a lot for this video.

Your timing was perfect. I was just looking at your videos on Thor, when you released this. I love these videos. I hope you will also make complete Spider-man reading order in future. Man I hope that Marvel will reprint those omniboo, but before that I hope they will release AS by Defalco omni :)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That’s really what am looking for

Love Thor! Thanks for the video!

Definitely keen to get the Walter Simonson Thor Omni!! You said the second printing was thinner, what's the difference in what's collected between the first and second printing and does it majorly affect the story? Also hope to read the Onslaught omnibus!!

Awesome video! Also a video idea: your personal choice on the best runs for characters. Saw how you got excited with the Walter Simonson run. If you did this with some it would give new comers an idea of what stories to pick up 👍

They have released a ton of Epics for Thor! Keep em coming

loved your video

Awesome overview! I also have some love for the DeFalco era but tough to follow up Simonson.

I am also a fan of Tom Grindberg. First noticed him on Firestorm. Wish he had longer runs on individual titles especially perhaps a horror series.

Damn, you did real good on this one! - Interesting to note the timing in relation to recent Donald Blake developments haha

A brilliant and really useful run through of Thor’s reading list Omar, thank you! You’re right about Tom DeFalco’s run - it’s brilliant and IMO right up there with Walt’s run. Any chance you can petition marvel for two DeFlaco Omani’s?!?

I recently read Thor Kingdom Lost Epic and the writers played fast and loose with innocent bystanders getting killed that's for sure. I read those issues when I was a kid but never noticed people dying until now. Ah to be young and oblivious again. Great job on the reading order although I would point out some those early Lee/Kirby stories are quite verbose when reading them. You really did get your 10cents worth of entertainment back in those days.

Nice vid !! 👍I hope one day you do an overview of once and future

Thor 432 was the first Thor book I ever read. You're right, the DeFalco/Frenz run is criminally underrated.

THOR is awesome! His classic stuff is some of the early stuff that I don't mind at all. (Classic SpiderMan gets repetitve). I hope David solicits some feedback from you for the Aaron omnibus...

Hey Omar. Great video but now I'm regretting not buying the later Thor Epics as I've just focused on the era I was buying & reading. I guess I shall have to seek them out. Cheers mate.

Excelsior!🌩🔨

He beat out my girl Wonder Woman but I ain't even mad

Since Adam Warlock is my favorite comic book character, I really enjoyed the Blood and Thunder crossover. Part 12 in Warlock and the Infinity Watch #25 was my favorite issue. I like the fact that you pointed out Tom Grindberg's artwork. In this crossover, he drew issues 23 and 24 of Warlock and the Infinity Watch. The Silver Surfer issues were actually pencilled by Andy Smith. With Angel Medina and Tom Raney also drawing some issues, this crossover had some cool artwork.

Cowabunga minties 🤙

For Odin, For Asgard!

Hey there! Question? Do you think we’ll ever get a few volumes of Thor: Heroes Return Complete Collections Chunky trades?

Omar I’ve just found out they are rereleasing the Simonson Omnibus next year. It says “new printing.” Do you know if this means a different coloring than the last one?

I bought all the Essentials, Epics, Omnibus plus the Masterworks of Thor

you should make a video explaining the differences between epic collection, oversized and omnibus

I'd love an Onslaught omni reprint!

I am waiting for the Superman reading order!

I finished jason Aaron run.. Is Simonson run mutch better or...? P. S. Great Video as always I wish you all the best 😉😉😉😉🙂🙂🙂

Hey Omar...do you think Daimon Hellstorm is Marvel's answer to John Constantine ? Also who do you think would win if they face off each other ??

Help me out here...epic Thor vol 11 is part of that 'old era' of the series when the books were thicker and the paper not glossy and white as it is now, right?

Thor has a tremendous run.... Walt Simonson was my childhood growing up. The Malekith/ Casket of Ancient Winters saga was the best highlight for me. Plus Algrim the strong who became Kurse later on Secret wars 2. Kurse is the only character to show up in the MCU from Secret wars 2. If you go back and look at Thor’s dark world and Ragnarok .. some stuff was taken from Simonson’s run on Thor. Would of have loved to see Odin’s orgin play out in Ragnarok.. Watiti had other plans. But most of Thor’s run after Walt left the book, I followed thru the late eighties going into the early part of the nineties.. Thor has to be one the best cosmic heroes in marvel, next to the Hulk. Man Omar.... you gonna make me want to go out and get the whole damn run 😂😂😂😂😂 you can never get tired of reading Thor....

Great job man! hope you do a green lantern or iron man reading order sometime.

Will there be any reprints of the Epics?

I had to order the heroes return volume 2 and the Walter simonsin omnis 🔥😂

Are you going to do a video review for Thor Epic: The Final Gauntlet ?

I hope they reprint that Onslaught omni soon!

Ahhh... the Simonson run - *THAT* is where Thor really started and ended with me. I like the current Cates run, but nothing compares to the Simonson run in my opinion. So awesome. The definitive Thor of our time.

Thor is just one of those characters who consistently (for the most part) has amazing runs. Love the Stan, Jack, and Buscema stuff and the Walt Simonson stuff are great as well as many other runs. But those guys are legends when it comes to Thor imo. Such a shame that the ragnarok movie just ruined the character and lore tho smh 😔

Are you going to put I, For Whom the Gods Destroy OGN on this list or did I miss it?

Love your channel. But question. Why no love for hardcover marvel masterworks? Thor has tons of hardcover masterworks and another volume is solicited for next year?

Nice comprehensive overview of Thor. Would have been better to include all the omnibuses since those are my preference.

YO OMAR! I want to donate to you I'm assuming you have a patreon? Also, you know if David could bring us a Thor Epic Vol 1 or even better Thor Omni vol 1?

Here's hoping those epics get reprinted for the next movie. As of today I only have 2 and 6.

Thunderstrike Omnibus when?

in balder #1 (simonson run) shows balder as an older appearance in the norn winter realm but then in next issue where he meets thor months later he is in a younger age appearance same run though by walter simonson but in a different realm. even if you read them out of order the timeline stays the same and only months apart in the stories timeline so is there a aging rule while traveling through the realms only effects the body and not the actual timeline or vice verse or both or just depending on what realm your traveling to or also how your traveling through the means of a machine or causing portals with weapons ect…? again same simonson run for both the stories thor, balder #1 the issue when karnilla is trying to keep balder finding out about odin, and then he goes into battle with thor the next issue. i think #360 or #361 trying to figure it out by googling but i get no answers like nobody else was curious if they missed how it came to be this?

Would you recommend Walter Simonson as a good jumping on point for someone who has never read a Thor comic?

Update on the JLA Omni if you haven’t caught wind of it from elsewhere: I just examined the table of contents from an overview video of it posted by an advanced copy recipient and it *does* in fact appear to contain all of the missing non-Waid and Millar issues I mentioned as well as all of the key DC One Million issues.

Still trying to get Mighty Thor Omnibus vol 1 without paying $400 or more but how about continuing the run with the Mighty Thor omnibus Volume 4 how about it Marvel please.

I would to see the Hellboy Universe Reading Order. There's not an up to date video on KZfaq.

Aaron gives him a run for his money but its uncle walt for the all time best imo "They sing no songs in Hel, nor do they celebrate heroes, for silent is that dismal realm and cheerless. But the story of the Gjallerbru and the god who defended it is whispered across the nine worlds. And when a new arrival asks about the one to whom even Hela bows her head, the answer is always the same: He stood alone at Gjallerbru... and that answer is enough."

I would never trade my omnibus for Epics. Ever

Oh my god I cant wait till I’m old enough to work enough to get paid enough to to buy the granddaddy Walt Simonsons Thor and read it enough!!!,

Hopefully patrons vote for the avengers or iron man next

Thor is a tough character for me to get into. I have read the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby omnibus vol. 3 which I did enjoy. The art in that book if off the hook. Some of my favorite old time comic art. It makes for an easy read. I’ve read most of the Simonson run, and it’s ok. But I just don’t love it. It’s only ok. I’ve also read the first of the two Dan Jurgens omnibuses. And again, it’s only ok. It does have moments of awesomeness, but it also has moments that I just don’t enjoy. For instance the whole secret identity part of the story. It’s just so lame. So unnecessary. And it consumes so much of the book. I hear (I don’t know where from) that the second omni is much better, so there’s hope. On top of that I’ve read the first trade of the Jason Aaron run and that is where I found I really liked Character/story. Thor has so much potential for a really rich history and it is never explored enough. That’s where I enjoy his stories, where his past is explored and tied into his present. I want to see more of that. Anyway, I’m going to finish Jurgens run, reread JMS’s run, and hopefully we’ll get a printing of the Jason Aaron run. So there is potential for me to really get into Thor. We have the Loki series coming up which I’m really excited for. So I’m trying to catch up to the Loki/Journey into Mystery omnibus by Kieron Gillen so I have some context for the TV show. I don’t even know if they’re connected, but it’s always better to have more character context when watching these shows or movies. Let’s hope I get there in time.

No Marvel Masterworks?

Do a junji ito manga review or over head ima keep bugging lol it good manga

I wonder how many times Thor have overcome Ragnarok/died/resurrected since 60s LOL

Do captain america pls

I love to read more about Thor but I think everything the epics, Omnibuses and some masterworks are out of print.

-goes to grab a Loki omni before there's a run on it during part 2-

A very knowledgeable guide! But you keep touching the pages full-on and getting fingerprints on everything! Hold on the edges or wear gloves! Or send them to me!
