Thor by Tom DeFalco & Ron Frenz Omnibus Vol. Ultimately, how much 90s-ness you can stomach may be the deciding factor on your enjoyment of this run. This run does read like a much more modern comic in some ways, which would probably make it easier for the average reader not accustomed to how comics used to be, but it starts getting a tad too “Xtreme” and “radical” for my liking as we get deeper into the nineties (not nearly as much as it will get once DeFalco and Frenz leave, but we’ll get to that.) Still, though this may not be my favorite era of Thor, it’s a solid era of Thor, and one that long-time comic readers list among the likes of Lee and Kirby, Simonson, and Jason Aaron. Thankfully, things get much easier to work out from here: after Simonson, whose work on Thor received a dedicated omnibus back in 2011, writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz collaborated on the title and a few spin-offs for nearly a decade, taking Thor well into the nineties. Our attempt to decide how Marvel should ideally collect all of Thor comics in omnibus format continues, with all the Silver Age and Bronze Age material already covered in the first part. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When both girls are selected to attend General Villainy class, Duchess sees an opportunity to be a rebel while following the rules.
