From the darkened depths, rises a threat greater than any Thor has ever before faced. Mangog threatens to unsheathe the Odinsword and bring Ragnarok upon the Norse gods in this collection of Asgardian classics. And that's just the beginning! In Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Thor there's always another cosmic adventure around the corner. Point in case: Ego the Living Planet vs. Galactus, the return of "Him"-the man who would come to be known as Adam Warlock-and the origin of Galactus! It gets personal, too, with a surprising revelation regarding Donald Blake, the return of Jane Foster, and the dramatic dance between Balder and the Norn queen Karnilla.

Extras include four pages of original pencils from 169 with Kirby's notes in the margin, unused cover art from 167 and 170, the cover for Tales of Asgard, and the original photostats for 155, 156 and 159.The Mangog tale, 154-157, is not to be missed by any fan of Thor. Thor has never looked so powerful as he does from pages 54-57 or 63-64 as Thor unleashes all his powers over storms against the primal fury of the Mangog. From the moment he's woken, to how easily he destroys a remote Asgardian outpost, Mangog establishes himself as one of the supreme terrors of the Marvel universe. He effortlessly swats away three towering Storm Giants. How will Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three hold back this creature on his mad conquest to destroy the universe?The cover to #157 is one of my all-time favorites (reproduced on the back of this collection as well). By the way, the cover for 156 is the cover for this collection. The heroes of Asgard are the last line of defense between the Mangog and the Odinsword. The ending of this epic saga, well...Next, Thor's origin is recast along with discovery of who came first: the doctor or the thunderer?That two-part tale precedes another cosmic epic: Galactus, the World-Devourer, against Ego, the Living Planet. It doesn't get any bigger than this! Thor finds himself caught between these two cosmic heavyweights. If that wasn't enough, we also get the origin of Galactus!We also get Pluto, Karnilla and Haag, Warlock (in his earliest incarnation as "Him"), Loki, more Galactus, the Thermal Man, the Wrecker, the odd story of Kronin Krask, and finally, more Ulik and the Circus of Crime.The best part of these final stories is seeing Jack Kirby inked by the highly underrated master of the brush, Bill Everett. These lush brushstrokes add a unique grace while still preserving the power behind Kirby's rugged renderings. The Kirby-Everett Karnilla has a sinister beauty to her never captured by any other artist pairing, that I can only compare to Disney's classic rendition of Malificent.One interesting note: though Everett is not credited with inking in this collection until #170, the full page depiction of Karnilla on page 286 in #167 looks more Everett than Colletta to me. This was the last Colletta inking on Thor until #176 and Everett took over two issues later.This Epic appears to use different paper than previous collections, along with a glossier finish. The thinner paper allows the volume to have a thinner profile on the shelf next to my other Epics. The blacks are certainly eye-catching in this volume, with plenty of Kirby crackle gracing these pages. I read mostly at night and lights create glare on any glossy pages with heavy blacks, so I don't like this finish as much as the other Epics or softcover Masterworks. Given that, the finish does cause the colors to pop.The paper weight and finish seem similar to the recent Rocket Raccoon premium that I have. Another note: this volume is the first I've seen printed by Quad/Graphics in Kentucky, not Donnelly in Salem, VA. Quad/Graphics purchased WorldColor, formerly known as Quebecor, which used to be the largest magazine printer in the US (though they were based in Montreal.)My printing had two noticeable defects: a black line transferred from a crease in the page to the white border on the top of 172 and 175, and there's a small excess inkblot on Odin on pg 284. I don't know if that was just my copy or signs of something more systemic. The rest of the volume looks gorgeous and the content inside is unbeatable.I'll edit this review if I notice the pages developing waves in the future.

Epic Collection THOR is truly "Epic" By Evetstx Like the Marvel Masterworks series the Marvel Epic Collection is now quickly getting my attention. I ordered this book along with the Epic Collection Avengers Vol 1 and I am pleased to find yet another great source of classic Marvel entertainment.I must start by saying that Stan Lee was not my favorite writer at Marvel, as I always gravitated toward the later stories by Roy Thomas and Steve Engelhart and I won't deny that Jack Kirby was never my favorite artist - as I much preferred the art of John Buscmema and Neal Adams but much to my delight, this book is a goldmine of classic Marvel magic and Lee and Kirby are at their pinnacle in this book.This edition collects THOR #154-174 and in these pages possibly some of the most enthralling panels among this title - as it contains two monumental battles - first - the chapter "To Wake the Mangog" - which is the centerpiece story in this collection - and second The Thunder God's first encounter with Galactus. The other stories are smaller in scale but still action-packed - especially fascinating is the chapter where Thor crosses paths with an alien known simply as "Him" - this character of course as any Marvel fan knows - would go on to become Adam Warlock.Kirby's artwork is nothing short of sensational - the signature Kirby images with intricate cosmic machines and spacecraft...and the unmistakable "Kirby crackle" is ever present - all is an absolute delight in this book and as another reviewer pointed out - Thor is at his most powerful best in these panels - I will add that never better has The Thunder God thrown himself and Mjolnir into action and in a way that you expect from the Mighty Thor (*If they presented Thor more like this in the films - they would have a cinematic blockbuster)A huge reason Thor was always my favorite hero at Marvel, not just the noble figure, powerful beyond measure, always ready to battle and protect others and a founding member of the Avengers, but most of all - it was the stories - the other-worldly adventures, which was a welcomed contrast to the other heroes, who most often were stationed around NYC -- this book takes the reader to worlds far beyond - Asgard of course but also the world of the alien Rigellians, Ego the Living Planet and a very fascinating look into the planet Taa - which is where Galactus came from - and all captured brilliantly by Kirby's art.This book is over 400 pages of "epic" adventure and lives up to its title - take a journey along with The God of Thunder to wonderful alien worlds, irresistible cosmic battles and powerful beings beyond imagination -- get this book! - it will not disappoint.

Another Well Done Collection from Marvel By Elvin Ortiz These new Epic Collections are better than its predecessor Masterworks because it has more issues than in those volumes, and because the collection allows you to purchase issues from different periods of the Thor saga. In this volume, we still see the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby team at work here, both revealing a more mature style in writing and illustration. This period covers probably the last or close to Kirby's last stand with Marvel before leaving for DC. Although the title is To Wake the Mangog, the volume covers other miniseries after that, since it follows chronological order. Besides fighting the Mangog, Thor also fights Galactus, the Wrecker, and Ulik among others; he also discovers the origins of Don Blake; and readers get to see other developments with Balder the Brave and Queen Karnilla. I do keep noticing that every time Kirby reintroduces his characters his artwork improves. Take for example, the recorder, Balder the Brave, or Queen Karnilllia.Another difference from Masterworks is the glossy paper. I don't know if that makes a difference in impact, but there is no doubt that Marvel is probably trying to broaden its audience with young generations of comic book readers who probably prefer this format. It doesn't make a difference to me. Kirby's artwork is astounding under any format. Anyhow, this volume is worth the price and the stories are always enjoyable.
