Thor vol. 1 starts in the 60's and goes to the 90's then after that there's three more vol. that are all modern and then there's the modern journey into mystery. The graphic novels are best for old stuff though.
for Thor origin I would look for the Thor essentials Vol. 1. Then go to Thor #159, then Thor Annual #11. You might have to look these up in either the essentials collections or the marvel masterworks collections, although Thor annual #11 probably isn't to expensive. The I would suggest looking up the Thor: If Asgard Should Perish series or possibly jump ahead to the Thor: Ragnarok series to get some back story on Thor saving Asgard and his father all the while learning about Loki and his twisted ways to take control of Asgard. This should get you started from here you could probably read up on his involvement with the Avengers and then jump into any story you want. I would suggest buying the collected novels just cause I think you get the most for your money and all the issues for that story are right there.
yes definitely i've been saying that for some time. why should we only get the point of view of the heroes. in the beginning of comic book history it seems like there wasn't much back story for the villains and they only seemed to be committing petty crimes with their powers like rob banks. i would love to see the evolution of the villain be more detailed and rich with creative narrative. i want to be inside the head of bullseye or joker or sabertooth or lady deathstrike or mr freeze or lex luthor or vulture or countless others.
Yeah so I was wondering if you people out there could help me with a list of evil or mad scientists? There's your typical ones like Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom, Mr. Freeze, Doc Octopus, ect. But what others exist with long back stories that might not be so well known?
