The God Butcher arc is my favorite Thor story, but that said, linked to the story about his day of normal activities, trying almost desperately to be a god worty of its title, not only in a cosmic scale, but also in a intimate and personal level. (Sorry for the english)
This may seem mean, but I was so happy when Thor beat up Iron-Man after he found out about that clone business! Tony deserved every bit of that pummeling!
Not mean at all. Stark betrayed their friendship. He usurped his very being and then threatened the God of Thunder. I was a moment when we were reminded just how powerful Thor is
You weren't the only one man, Tony needed a proper beating back then. " learn again the difference between a God of Thunder and a mortal man in a metal suit" fucking bad ass
I think this would make an EXCELLENT Disney+ series. It even feels like a TV show when you read it. It may be short, but this is my favorite take on Thor. It’s just so incredibly DIFFERENT from anything else that’s been done with the characters.
I have the original run and the hardcover version as well. Hell, I even have a lead figure, 3 inch and 8 inch plastic version of the J Michael Straczynski Thor. I guess I really enjoyed his take on the Norse god, glad to see a lot of others feel the same way. Excellent video, by the way.
Straczynski is a really amazing writer. I read this run when it came out an was blown away by each issue, especially when Thor visits New Orleans right after Katrina hit. Maybe you could cover his Superman run in the future? It's one of my favorites.
This look of Thor in this comic is my favorite look of the character and when he beat up Tony for what he did in Civil War made him my favorite Marvel comics hero.
I like Donny Cates Thor Look because he Looked Similar to Modern Thor plus He now has the Odinforce Again though he has Limits like Fighting Elder Gods now. I wonder if Strange could train Thor on his Of use since he did see it Before on how to use it better for those Type of Fights considering the enemy is Very Powerful.
Matt Draper I love most of his run, it's a shame editorial mandates made him write books like Sin's Past and One More Day. Joe Quesada should be ashamed of himself for putting JMS's name in the last two issues of OMD.
Matt Draper I certainly understand why it’s a difficult one to cover, but I think it would be interesting. I think what might help is if rather than covering the whole run at once (which is both large and dense) you covered individual storylines or perhaps story arcs like the Ezekiel saga.
@@SpideyRules-pq6be Joe Quesada had a reign of terror at Marvel like putting Thor through Ragnarok due to "him having every possible story told" and House of M was a cluster fuck thank God X-Men vs Avengers retconned it and One More Day is an abomination
Gosh I want to read this comics this sounds lie an amazing read so sad it was cut short!!! I can see why Marvel Studios has used this run and Walt Simonson's run also
Great video as always. While Simonson’s run is still my favorite Thor run (loved it so much, I bought the omnibus of it), JMS is still a close second. What are your thoughts on Jason Aaron’s Thor run so far?
I’ve got that omnibus, too! I enjoy Aaron’s stuff. It has some ups and downs, but I like what he’s doing. Next time I do a Thor video, it’ll probably be an Aaron story.
Hey I live literally a mile and half north of Broxton! Pretty awesome that the writer made it where Thor lives in my neighborhood! Too bad the town is fictional. All it is a old school building that my grandpa, my dad and I all attended before it close down in 1995. Pretty much just grazing fields for cattle but its home! Wish I could put a sign up that says "Home of Thor" but I dont know who owns the the property that Asgard floats above. lol
Captain Malcolm Reynolds Yeah, but unfortunately that would require moving away from a lot of the elements that people loved about Ragnarok. This is a ponderous, cerebral story that just wouldn’t fit the tone Taika Watiti and the writers are going for. That being said, I think if Thor 4 were more like this it would be infinitely better than Ragnarok, but I’m one of the few who didn’t like that movie.
Sad that such an amazing run by a creator like JMS was scuttled by the publisher because of the need to do the giant multi crossover event for the year....
now i thought about the fact that Thor wasn't in the first MVC games. he only got put in in MVC 3 in 2011. in the 1990's spdier-man tv series, he didn't make an appearance. daredevil, captain America, Blade, doctor strange, *they* were guest characters. Thor wasn't. although he and his world played a pivotal part in Marvel ultimate alliance, but i didn't get that game until i was well into comics
Hello Thor comic readers, I want you all to please help me in my campaign to make the MCU fans realize their mistake and start reading Thor comics Whosoever is with me, please make me aware of And keep promoting Thor comics. Please......it's my humble request to all of you
Stracyznski's run started out very strong, but the set up took too long to resolve and get on to some actual adventuring, the run absolutely deserves the accolades it often receives but by the time he left the book I was ready for some one else to take over so something more exciting could happen. Fraction on paper looks like he'd have been a good fit for Thor, he's usually a very strong writer who can employ fantastical ideas well, but it really took Aaron to come on board to give us another great Thor run hot off the heels of making Ghost Rider great again
The JMS-written Marvel runs always start off well in the earliest issues, but rather bad story ideas &/or editorial mandates bring it down quite a bit after that. (Same with his DC comic runs come to think of it.)
Too bad none of this big god in a small town thing worked for the first Thor movie. lol Man!, that movie was boring as hell. The only time I've ever seen a movie pull off hero losing their powers and getting them back was Raimi's Spider-Man 2. But then, Peter didn't lose his powers. They more or less went dormant. That kind of story is one of the worst possible plots that could be explored in something like a film that has strict time constraints. Loved seeing Coipel's art. No wonder he's considered one of Marvel's best artists. Certainly more than those Tumblr and Twitter libtards with the refrigerator art. It sounds like J.M.S. was really on to something here, but leave it to Marvel with their over reliance on events following Civil War to screw everything up! It really sucks when an arc isn't finished, and plot threads never get resolved. At least there was no animosity between J.M.S. and Marvel. Also, excellent video Matt! Great vocal delivery. Very professional sounding.
What's your favorite Thor story? Least favorite? Let me know.
Definitely some of Aaron’s best stuff!
The God Butcher arc is my favorite Thor story, but that said, linked to the story about his day of normal activities, trying almost desperately to be a god worty of its title, not only in a cosmic scale, but also in a intimate and personal level. (Sorry for the english)
Luis Rey Great choices! Love the insights.
thanks! Great content, great videos.
Matt Draper the Kirby stuff!
I was not a Thor reader before JMS took up the reigns. His run changed all of that. This run is still one of my favorites.
This may seem mean, but I was so happy when Thor beat up Iron-Man after he found out about that clone business! Tony deserved every bit of that pummeling!
That was one of the most satisfying moments in comics when I read it after coming off of Civil War.
My absolute, favorite moment of the whole run;)
Not mean at all. Stark betrayed their friendship. He usurped his very being and then threatened the God of Thunder. I was a moment when we were reminded just how powerful Thor is
You weren't the only one man, Tony needed a proper beating back then. " learn again the difference between a God of Thunder and a mortal man in a metal suit"
fucking bad ass
After everything Tony did in Civil War, Thor was being lenient in his beatings
This was my introduction to Thor in comix an it's one of the reasons why he is my favorite superhero.
Similar for me. Not my introduction, but definitely the comic that made me love Thor.
Man this is so good would've loved to see j.michael complete his whole story cuz this sounds like a great story that is incomplete
I think this would make an EXCELLENT Disney+ series. It even feels like a TV show when you read it. It may be short, but this is my favorite take on Thor. It’s just so incredibly DIFFERENT from anything else that’s been done with the characters.
What if Secret Invasion Thor Is just like Jms Thor too!
I have the original run and the hardcover version as well. Hell, I even have a lead figure, 3 inch and 8 inch plastic version of the J Michael Straczynski Thor. I guess I really enjoyed his take on the Norse god, glad to see a lot of others feel the same way. Excellent video, by the way.

No plans yet, but I’d definitely like to do more Superman comics in the future and that may be one of them.
I don't know if I am worthy of this content, but I am going to fight with honor so I can deserve more of this.
Thor would be proud of you.

I read JMS’s series over a decade ago. It’s such a wonderful series. I may reread it someday.
Dude, keep making these videos. I love watching these essays every time they pop in my notifications.
Thank you! I plan on making many more.
JMS' run was absolutely great!
It is along with Walt Simonson

@@1973Ganesh I didn't follow it. I've heard good reviews, though.

Loved JMS's work on Thor. For me the set-to between Iron Man and Thor and the moment Heimdall was reborn are panels I go back to again and agin
I was never much of a Thor fan until JMS's run.
An incredible video from the smooth-like-butter vocals to the classic Jazz finish. Matt, you are truly the videogamedunkey of comics.
Ooooh, Imma give this comment 3 outta 5 Knack 2s.
I gotta say that this run is the one that I keep going back to. The art is so beautiful. And the story (Before Doctor Doom) is beautiful.
Why before Dr. Doom?
@@MegaSpideyman After Doom 🤣. Thor was back to being a jobber
@@1973Ganesh Why are you laughing after you said after Doom?
@@MegaSpideyman Its...complicated. I was thinking about the time Rocket and Doom switched bodies

J michael strachzynsky is my favorit comic book author. His run on spidey were awesome.
another mini masterpiece
Thank you very much!

Thanks! He’s one of my favorites and I wish he’d do more comics.
Matt Draper Absolutely! It was a pleasant surprise to see his art in Action Comics 1000.
This is awesome
i appreciate the Vanilla track in the start, you must have great music taste as well as in comics

Goooood stuff
You know your stuff Mr Don Drapper. Matt Fractions run was indeed...less than stellar.
Make a video about John Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr 's run on Spiderman
once again a great video!
Thank you very much!
wonder if this run is on comixology?
Never a bad video, Matt
Thank you!
Another great video!
You forgot Thor Volume 3 Annual The Hand of Grog. It deals with how Thor Reacted to the Fight with Bor and was right after it.
you deserve so many more subscribers!!
Great video!!
Thank you thank you!
Amazing as usual! :-) Dudeee go for Bruce Jones Hulk, its very relevant because the new Immortal Hulk is very similar :-)
I can definitely see the similarities. Jones’ Hulk had a lot of horror elements, especially at the beginning.
I like asgard. I like the whole im not home theme. What happened to the 9 realms ?
I hope you do a video about Jason Aaron's run in the future
Dante Crottogini He finally did one this year.
I can't help but pelvic thrust to "Vampires".

With asguard destroyed in the mcu I think this story would make a really good Thor 4.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds Yeah, but unfortunately that would require moving away from a lot of the elements that people loved about Ragnarok. This is a ponderous, cerebral story that just wouldn’t fit the tone Taika Watiti and the writers are going for.

YESSSSSS!!!!
Nice episode as usual bud :) what other Thor story’s would you recommend? I need to read more of his stuff xD
Walt Simonson’s run, Jason Aaron’s stuff, Thor The Mighty Avenger, anything with Kirby on it, and Oeming’s run are all great comics!
Im a little late but great video!
Can't believe J. Michael Straczynski also had a hand in Spider-Man One More Day!! I blame Joe Quesada more though
Ooohhh you should do Jason Aaron’s run, including his first series and Jane Foster
Logan Bunce Well, he did just that. Are you happy now!!!!!
Sad that such an amazing run by a creator like JMS was scuttled by the publisher because of the need to do the giant multi crossover event for the year....
Odinforce Thor did Fight Sentry In What if Secret Invasion and Later as well many Years Later
Send your video to JMS. I think he would love it.
I pray you study Dan Jergens Thor. It's a really interesting and different era. Or Loki Journey into mystery. That seems right up your alley 👍
When did he write for Thor?
It was when he took on iron man and showed how weak iron man was to him. When stark tried to tell him he had sign up with the government.
12:47 well okay then, that's probably the nicest way someone's told me not to read something
i grew up during the 2000's. i was born in 1998. i was exposed to superheros on tv, and film. thor being not important was part of life
now i thought about the fact that Thor wasn't in the first MVC games. he only got put in in MVC 3 in 2011. in the 1990's spdier-man tv series, he didn't make an appearance. daredevil, captain America, Blade, doctor strange, *they* were guest characters. Thor wasn't. although he and his world played a pivotal part in Marvel ultimate alliance, but i didn't get that game until i was well into comics
Gosh this run made me more open to Donald Blake and Thor being the same though I do prefer Thor being Thor thanks to Walt Simonson and the MCU
Yeah! Thor always rocks being Thor but Blake adds colours to him...
@@somanshudev True but it was weak back in the early comics
But good news Blake is coming back check out Thor 2020 issue 9 releasing on november 4....
I can't wait to read it!!!!
@@somanshudev Idk how I feel on that sometimes I wish Thor could just be Thor
You should do the JMS and John Romita Jr Spider-Man run
I’d definitely like to at some point!
When did John Romita Jr. Write for Spider-Man?
@@captainjakemerica4579 he was the artist dude
@@ridge825 Oh
Whn you say Loki's long term schemes, I would've said his, not her.

Whosoever is with me, please make me aware of
And keep promoting Thor comics.
Please......it's my humble request to all of you
does this series exist as a standalone that one can buy?
Yes, it’s currently available in 3 small tpb volumes, or 1 omnibus, but I think the omnibus is out of print.

At least Now Current Thor also Trains so His Base is Stronger too now than Classic Thor( Also Thanks to Marvel Now).
Straczynski's Thor started in 2007 after Civil War not 2009
Man i have been pronouncing the artists name
O-li-ver coy-pell for years...whoops
Is sad that Thor is a joke now, thanks to the MCU.
HE ALSO KICKED THE S*** OUT OF IRON MAN
Sounds like someone doesn’t like Jason Aarons run.
