A cosmic event that occurs every six years or so…
Walt Simonson’s Thor — one of the most acclaimed comics runs ever — is getting a new omnibus release in 2024.
Dig the description, from online listings:
THOR BY WALTER SIMONSON OMNIBUS (NEW PRINTING 2)
Revered author Walt Simonson penned argubly the greatest run on Thor ever – and considered by some one of the greatest comic book runs of all time – and this omnibus collects it in its entirety!
Considered by many to be the greatest run on Thor ever, Walt Simonson’s classic tales of the God of Thunder are collected here-completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliff! And there are too many timeless tales to count: The Casket of Ancient Winters! The death of Odin! The origins of Asgard! The sacrifice of the Executioner! Thor as a frog! The Mutant Massacre! The curse of Hela! The debut of Thor’s body armor! Guest-starring Beta Ray Bill, Nick Fury and the Avengers! Featuring the threats of Fafnir the dragon, Loki, Lorelei, Malekith the Dark Elf, Surtur, Hela, the Titanium Man, Kurse, Zaniac, the Marauders, the Absorbing Man, Fin Fang Foom, the Destroyer and the Midgard Serpent!

A few thoughts:
— This is the third time the omnibus has been released. It first came out in 2011 and again in 2017.
— The 1,192-page hardcover lists for $125 and is due April 16, 2024.
— Standard caveat: This has not been solicited by Marvel yet — as far as I can tell — so nothing is official until it’s official. That said, I expect this to see print. Keep coming to 13th Dimension for updates.
