Epic Collection THOR is truly "Epic" *by E***X on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015* 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.(since buying this book - I have purchased several other Marvel milestone volumes with other characters/titles and Kirby's work is unbelievable - I now have a much greater admiration for his work and I now understand why he is called the "king")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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Another Well Done Collection from Marvel *by E***Z on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2015* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story Arc! *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022* This collection Captures my fondest memories of Stan and Jack’s collaboration on this title. Both were at their story telling peak (but not V. Colletta, yeah!).
