I remember Thor 380, which was the battle against the Midgard Serpent. It was all splash pages. I loved his run on Thor.

Ragnarok is the best comic book you're not reading yet. I got the first two collections in hard back, and have read them multiple times. Simonson is one of those legendary comic creators who writes and draws his own books, that rare breed that wears both hats - a living legend that goes right up there with Frank Miller, Mike Mignola, Jim Starlin, John Byrne and Howard Chaykin.

For me nobody comes close to Jack Kirby’s run on Thor except for Walt Simonson and his run on Thor back in the 1980’s, I loved his Ragnarok comic and really hope we’ll be seeing more from him soon.

Awesome video. Mr. Simonson is the one who made "Thor" a must read back in the early 1980's. Still the best run on Thor to date, in my opinion. I will definitely be picking up "Ragnarok". Glad to hear Walt is still at it!

I never cared for Walter Simonson's pencils while the like of Kirby, Ditko and Adams were still available but the dismal advent of the current stuff makes me realize just how good he is. I won't cop out and say he's gotten better, I'll admit to changing my mind.
