do you have thor reading recs/guides/particular run or era to recommmend to get to know and appreciate the characters?

OOOH YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING

some thor fans and loki fans may disagree with what im gonna say here BUT. i think the run which best encapsulates why i love the character and the universe, as well as having essentially a very long guided tour through some of the most significant points of the thor sub-universe within the larger MU, is jason aaron's huge thor run from 2012 to 2019 (along with everything else happening in the thor universe at that time, covered by al ewing, kieron gillen, and marguerite bennett in a few also very good spinoffs).

this is the series where the God Butcher comes from, where Jane Foster becomes Thor, where loki is canon genderfluid in Agent of Asgard, where thor fights capitalism, and much more. it's not perfect, especially in terms of characterisation when some characters get thrown between their own miniseries and the main run, but it really encapsulates what I love about thor in his comics, and it's the run that, over the course of collecting the five huge paperback collections u can get it in, made me fall in love with this sub-section of the MU

proper reading order under the cut, plus brief explanations of crossover tie-ins and so on. it looks complicated but it's basically just cos marvel loves to re-start with a new #1 every so often to keep sales up, and because i think you should read the accompanying spinoffs. if you don't want to read the excess spinoffs (although agent of asgard is VERY good) just stick to things with 'thor' in the name.

Thor: God of Thunder (2012) #1-17

Loki: Agent of Asgard (2014) #1-5

Thor: God of Thunder (2012) #18-24

then the Original Sin event happens, the Watcher dies and a bunch of secrets are revealed...

Original Sin (2014) #5.1-5.5 (essentially a loki & thor miniseries tie-in, relevant to both series)

and THEN when Original Sin continues, Nick Fury (evil now, don't ask) whispers something into Thor's ear, and Thor drops his hammer on the moon and cannot pick it up! oh no.

Thor: God of Thunder (2012) #25

because the marvel universe never stops having big events, an event called AXIS happens immediately after, and results in a bunch of 'heroes' and 'villains' being 'inverted' - the 'villains' becomes 'heroes' and vice versa. both thor and loki are involved in this, covered in:

Loki: Agent of Asgard (2014) #6-11

and if you're wondering what happened to Angela after that Original Sin tie-in:

Angela: Asgard's Assassin #1-6

Thor (2014) #1-8 and Annual #1

THEN Secret Wars happens, basically 8 month timeskip and the multiverse is ending and another earth is about to crash into the main earth. don't worry about it.

Loki: Agent of Asgard (2014) #12-17

Secret Wars continues, the multiverse died and a new 'Battleworld' is created. basically it's a patchwork of all previous universes held together by Doctor Doom (don't worry about it). Marvel cancelled every single book and everything to turned into battleworld tie-ins:

Thors (2015) #1-4

1602 Witch Hunter Angela (2015) #1-4

... and then everything goes back to normal.

Mighty Thor (2015) #1-6

Angela: Queen of Hel (2015) #1-7

Mighty Thor (2015) #7-14

Unworthy Thor (2016) #1-5

Mighty Thor (2015) #15-22

Generations: Unworthhy Thor & Mighty Thor #1

Mighty Thor (2015) #23, #700-706 (they reverted to legacy numbering, don't worry, you didn't miss 677 issues of the series)

Mighty Thor: At the Gates of Valhalla #1

Thor (2018) #1-11

and then The War of the Realms begins, the big thor-centric crossover which ends the run. the issues of that main series and the concurrent thor series should be read in release order which looks like this:

War of the Realms #1

War of the Realms #2

Thor #12

War of the Realms #3

War of the Realms #4

Thor #13

War of the Realms #5

War of the Realms #6

Thor #14-16

and a concluding epilogue miniseries:

King Thor (2019) #1-4

[kierongillen]

Now, this question may have been asked before, but in 1602 witch hunter angela, are sera and angela a functional stand in for destiny and mystique? (being/almost being rogue's adopted mothers) or was this unintentional?

You'd have to ask Marguerite this one, I'm afraid. She was on lead on 1602.

[enchantricksbot]

when are you gonna drop the amora reading list

I’m SORRY! I keep getting asked this and ik I haven’t 😭 this isn’t gonna be a chronological list bc that’s how usually how I read and not how I was introduced to Amora. So we are gonna starts here with little tidbits and not just 616

Journey into Mystery (1952) #103

This is Amoras first appearance and basically Odin needs someone to bring back Thor. Loki suggests Amora. Amora fails and becomes hellbent on making Thor love her and being perfect. Shes obsessed with being perfect and can’t deal with the fact that she failed, esp in front of the king of gods.

Thor son of Asgard (2004) 7-9

Thor, Loki ,Sif, and Amora as hormonal back stabbing teens. This was very “women are sexy and catty” there’s stupid sexism in it Amora and Loki have this sort of weird relationship of mutual benefit with a little flirting mixed in. The only rly redeeming quality of this comic for me is my desperations for young Asgard backstory and that Amora and Loki so naturally rely on each other.

Captain marvel (2022) 5-7

Read this once your aware of Ove and Namors relationship with Amora

Agent of Asgard (2014) #8 & 9

Magneto (2014) #11

Ties in with Axis

Avengers prime #1-6

This comes right after Siege, which was when Asgard was on earth, Loki created Sylvie, and then returned Sif to her body. I didn’t love this comic bc it jumps around but love Amora being mad at Thor and Odin and acknowledging that Odin was just a colonizing dick. Comic Odin isn’t as bad as MCU tho. Also she fights Hela.

1602 Witch Hunter Angela #2-4

This was an AU one shot and the art is fantastic and it was just a fun high fantasy comic

Spider-Man and the secret wars (2009) #3

Amora tries to help spidey break out of the delusions to help his friends

Black Widow and the Marvel girls (2009) #1

Another odd one for her to be in, ig this was a good feature year for asgardians? Anyway she’s not the only god who changed fate, Loki does this fairly regularly as does Thor.

Cartoons

So the cartoons like many of the old comics are sort of bland. No depth, a sort of “good guy vs bad guy” easy to understand aimed at children. So you might find something like EMH boring

Thor: Tales of Asgard

Her appearance here is short but it’s good and it ties in with the comic Tales of Asgard

Earths Mightiest Heroes

You can look up just her episodes if need be she’s also in Avengers Assemble which was decent but should be watched after EMH.

Hulk VS Thor

It’s a movie nicely animated shows how powerful amora can be

[zeromorph]

did it hurt? when you clawed your way up from the depths of hell?

[A remix of a three-panel A Softer World comic. Angela and Serah (from 1602) are spinning together in a dance. Angela is in full armor and Serah is in her traveling clothes, and they are smiling at each other over their clasped hands. "When I look at you, / I can't help but think / Hell must be missing an angel."]

[arsenicflame]

there is exactly one (1) thing Angela wants in an ideal world and its domestic bliss

1602: Witch Hunter Angela #4 // Angela: Queen of Hel #7

[big-gay-apocalypse]

She has a fondness for wayward things.

[lamujerarana]

I shall give up what I am, Serah, if it means thou canst keep who thou art. Thou hast defied death. Pray, my sweet – do not defy me. Run. Live. 

I love you.
