thor trade paperback is a classic run,artist ron frenz reminds me very much like jack kirby.

the mighty thor 385 is one of the best thor vs hulk stories ever!

the mighty thor 395-400 thor vs seth the serpent god is another classic

worth buying if you don't own the originals

Jeez.
I still haven't been able to work the Clone Saga collections into the budget. Let me figure that out, then we'll talk.

I have all the cosmic Spidermans. I hated the Clone Saga, but have those too.

I love getting my storylines in a full graphic novel, or set of novels. I hate waiting for the next issue to find out what happened. Yes, I am impatient that way.

@gusto - Exactly what I was thinking. I wanna see more photos of that park and the sculptures contained within. It'd make for great Christmas cards. CBM field trip anyone?

Now here's the question. Are these going to be actual color reprints? As Marvel's last "super sized and affordable" line of trades, the Essentials collection, was black and white.

Must do more homework on these, as there are more than a few classic storylines I'd love to collect in this format. It's amazing how many storylines I kind of shook my head at as a kid while reading them are something I've been itching to reread again.

Great news, I just don't understand why don't they reprint Walt Simonson's Thor. As I know it's the most famous Thor storyline and it's out of print (even that freakin big omnibus).
