Dan Jurgens

Dan Jurgens concludes his landmark late-90s Thor run in this second omnibus, collecting Thor (1998) #26–50 plus additional material. The volume escalates the stakes to cosmic proportions: Asgard's war with Thanos, the revelation of Thor's true destiny, and the groundwork for the eventual Ragnarok. Jurgens delivers some of his most ambitious storytelling here, weaving Asgardian mythology with Marvel's wider cosmic universe. The Jake Olson subplot reaches its compelling resolution, and the art throughout maintains the cinematic quality that defined this era. An indispensable companion to Vol. 1 for any serious Thor collector.

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.
