Rating: - Uneven stories and artworkThis Essential volume of Thor is significant because it contains his first appearances in Marvel Comics. However, I was a tad disappointed with some of the stories, and the fact that artist Jack Kirby was missing from some of the issues. At this early stage, the Thor character was not really developed yet, and many of the villains were rather uninteresting. Rating: - Thor was one of marvels good ideasAlthough not as good as the Xmen, or Spiderman, Thor is pretty good compared to most of the other comic lines at that time. The villains are decent and the artwork is alright. Stories get a bit repetitive, as there are very few storylines that go beyond one comic. Still a decent read.
