Sometimes that's exactly how these odd design decisions seem to me--as if some of the people putting these collections together are a little embarrassed by the content and trying to disguise the fact that they're reprints of individual issues of comics anyway they can. The Simonson Thor stuff isn't a graphic novel. Almost nothing Marvel ever releases is a graphic novel. It's all just periodical comics. Back in the day we bought them off spinner racks. What's so wrong with that? It's a funnybook, kids. I could deal with losing the logos, if they had at least kept issue 337's logo. Changing that issue's cover composition just so it'll sync up with the rest of the changed covers just strikes me as the worst sort of arbitrary decision-making.

Well, if you prefer a generic mundane superhero fighting generic mundane supervillains, you got a plenty of mainstream Marvel books to choose from. Not so many that feature mythological gods fighting mythological beasts, especially in a fashion that is reasonably consistent with the actual mythology (as Simonson was).

Why bother? That would be like trying to explain superstring theory to Drax the Destroyer.

Its betta this way.I made that ruse simple enuff that even your feeble minds could pick it up. I sincerely hope you caught it. What fiend would alter the original contents of a cover? That should be punishable by death, not by being rewarded by buying four print runs. But even though I am recently removed from a 6 month internship under the Joker, my intent here was not to mock this run. It is, after all, in the span from '78 (Project Pegasus) to '94 (Phalanx Covenant) which I can actually stand the dialogue and art. That's a short span so I need to examine every worthy title made available in hardcover. Thor's goofy dialogue has a sound purpose so it's acceptable. I am just wanting to know what makes this run so special?
Alan The Insane!!! Sub-Mariner 26, the Greatest Comic Ever SOLD!!! Looking forward to a Strange World Omnibus sometime in the future!!!
