Jerry Ordway

Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway relaunch the God of Thunder in 1998 with a clean-slate Thor that became the definitive post-Heroes Return era. This first omnibus collects the opening chapters of Thor (1998) #1–25 plus key annuals, reestablishing Asgard in a rebuilt New York and introducing Jake Olson as Thor's mortal host. Jurgens strips the concept back to its core and delivers blockbuster mythological action with a sharp modern sensibility. The volume captures the optimism of late-90s Marvel at its most ambitious, anchored by Jurgens' clean storytelling and Ordway's dynamic layouts. A foundational read for any collector of the Thunder God.
