What truly defines this era is that, with Simonson having detached Thor from his human Donald Blake identity at the start of his run, DeFalco now decides to create a new character to fill that gap: Eric Masterson. Unlike Blake, however, Masterson very much feels like a real person with his own life, and sharing his life with the duties of Thor creates effective drama in a way Blake never could. At one point, Thor’s spirit is lost and Eric truly becomes the new Thor on his own, very much like Dargo would in an alternate far future, and just as Jane Foster does as well in the near future. Jason Aaron continues his run on Thor and the story of Lady Thor into All-New, All-Different Marvel. In this period, the female Thor also appears regularly in Avengers. Odinson does not appear regularly in any other titles. For more information about collections that exclusively collect material from the female Thor, see Guide to Mighty Thor & Valkyrie. Also, see Guide to Angela and Guide to Loki for other Asgard titles in this period. There are hundreds of different collections of Thor, especially his original run from 1962 to 1996. However, there are a few specific formats of books that cover large portions of this title, and I’ll cover those first – Omnibuses, Marvel Masterworks, Mighty Marvel Masterworks, Epic Collections, and Essentials. Collects King Thor #1-4. The Epilogue, the final battle against the Butcher of Gods at the end of times. Optional: Thor’s hammer plays a role in the event, so it’s pretty optional, and it takes place before Thor #1.

Not collected. Part of Infinity Crusade; see Marvel Universe Events: Infinity Crusade for more information. Aaron brought his talents to the SECRET WARS tie-in THORS (2015), which found a series of alternate reality Thors trying to solve a murder mystery. More importantly to the overall Aaron-Thor story, this tie-in introduced the Ultimate version of Mjolnir into the reconstituted Earth-616 after the events of SECRET WARS. THUNDER IN HER VEINSFrom there, the Young Thor of 894 A.D. dealt with libations and monsters in "Days of Wine and Dragons" (in issue #18) which led directly into the final GOD OF THUNDER arc, "Last Days of Midgard!" In this, S.H.I.E.L.D. environmental agent Roz Solomon—who debuted in ish #12—investigated Roxxon and its nefarious CEO Dario "Minotaur" Agger with some help from Thor. The standalone "The Untold Origin of Mjolnir" ( ish #12) saw Thor learn the secret history of her weapon/companion in the Halls of the All-Knowing in Omnipotence City. There, she came to understand that Odin had defeated the God Tempest, the Mother of Lightning before having it combined with uru and forged by dwarves. It became a weapon so powerful and unwieldy that it was all but left alone until his son began hearing its call. THE UNWORTHY THOR

Most of them, from Journey into Mystery #83 to Thor #194, are also available in the omnibus collection (harder to find, though)Collects Unworthy Thor (2017) #1-5, Mighty Thor (2015) #20-23, Generations: Unworthy Thor & Mighty Thor (2017) #1, Mighty Thor (2015) #700-706, and Mighty Thor: At the Gates of Valhalla (2018) #1. Mighty Thor (2015) #13-23 & 700-706, Generations: The Unworthy Thor & The Mighty Thor, and Mighty Thor: At The Gates Of Valhalla The only possible question about what this second volume could contain is whether the War of the Realms event would be included, as it got its own omnibus with all the tie-ins… but given that it also acts as the climax of Aaron’s run, it isn’t really much of a question, is it? You also can find those in the collected hardcover form: God of Thunder, Volume 1 and Volume 2, but also in Thor by Jason Aaron: The Complete Collection Vol. 1 and The Complete Collection Vol. 2, and in Thor: God of Thunder – The Saga of Gorr the God Butcher.
