Thor by J. Michael Straczynski #2

This 2009 Marvel hardcover collects J. Michael Straczynski's acclaimed Thor run, with Olivier Coipel and inker Mark Morales delivering a striking cover that places Thor front and center — red cape billowing, Mjolnir raised, lightning crackling at his back — while a group of ordinary people look on from behind him. Coipel's linework gives the Thunder God an imposing yet grounded presence, perfectly capturing the blend of mythic power and human scale that defines this era of the series. A handsome volume for anyone who wants Thor's return told with real dramatic weight.
