Sadly there's no 1980s hardcover reprints this month... but there's a lot of great TPB love for the 1980s.

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This first volume begins the collection of Simonson’s epic run — completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliffe!

So glad they are putting out Simonson's Thor in a trade. The omnibus is out of print and scalpers are asking ridiculous sums for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Simonson's Thor is more readily available as well. I have the omnibus, but I'll be ordering the trades for the library I work at. Also pleased to see the Strange/Doom graphic novel back in print. That's one I've wanted for a long time, and will be happy to add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteKinda surprised at the price of the Avengers: Heavy Metal tpb... Seven issues for 25 dollars? Talk about price gouging...
ReplyDeleteWell, on Amazon it was more like $2 per issue when I preordered it. I would never pay the ridiculous cover prices Marvel & D.C. slap on their reissues.
ReplyDeleteI had a Walt Simonson Thor vol. 1 collection from some years ago but some of the pages are printed out of order... Hope its been corrected for this edition.
ReplyDeleteIf it helps Jef, it's actually 8 issues for 25 dollars.
