Legendary writer/artist Walter Simonson begins his character-redefining THOR run, still considered by many to be one of the greatest in comic book history!
"DOOM!" With that iconic effect, Walter Simonson shattered all expectations. As both writer and artist, his THOR was nothing short of a revelation, one that has been held up next to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's as the greatest of all time. Simonson's stories instantly establish cosmic stakes and a mastery of the series' characters. As his epic unfolds, he introduces Beta Ray Bill - a hero so bold and true that he can lift Mjolnir - and Malekith, a villain so cunning that he could unleash the Casket of Ancient Winters...and worse! And so, the Marvel Masterworks are very proud to begin their presentation of Walter Simonson's MIGHTY THOR, painstakingly restored from his original art and matching the coloring of the original comics!

The original Marvel Masterworks collection of the X-Men, re-released at last! By popular demand! Back in hardcover, beautifully restored to match the original comics and boasting expanded bonus material! Welcome to Marvel's reMasterworks! The X-Men blend super-hero action, teen angst and a potent metaphor for the turbulent issues of the '60s into one potent package! After laying the foundation for what would become comics' biggest franchise, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby passed the X-Men's headmaster role to Roy Thomas and Werner Roth, who would come into their own while crafting the tales of Marvel's merry mutants. In this second amazing Masterworks volume, you'll find the first appearance of the unstoppable Juggernaut, the cosmic Stranger, the mutant Mimic, and in a classic three-part saga, the mutant-hunting Sentinels. And for good measure we're topping it off with the return of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil mutants and a two-part tale featuring Lucifer, the early nemesis of Professor X.
