Hey all
I am a longtime follower of many books, including the Avengers, but I have always had a special place in my heart for our friend the Asgardian. (Here's hoping he relaunches in Civil War!) I have an oppurtunity to pick up a TPB soon and I have been strongly considering my first Thor one.
DOes anyone have any advice on what TPB it would be best to start with? Contributions would be appreciated. Thanks!

The only two THOR TPBs I know of are the first "Essential" volume and at least one that collects some of Walt Simonson's classic run.
Not liking early 1960s comics that much, I'd go with Simonson.
Surely there must be others, though. Anyone else?

The best Thor trades to start with are definitely the Walt Simonson Visionaries 1, 2, and 3. Epic storylines, great use of Norse mythology, humor, you name it. You can really feel Walt's love for the character. After these, I'd recommend going back to get the two essential collections. They include his origin and great back up tales called "Tales from Asgard". I see in the September solits, there are two new collections coming out, Essential vol. 3 and the Eternals Saga. Welcome to world of Asgard!
