Once every year, thousands of Marvel collectors from around the world gather together online to watch Near Mint Condition and vote on their most-wanted omnibus titles. That time approaches – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 14th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Thor omnibus map – including all of Asgard’s heroes – for material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2026 poll.
Who are Asgard’s heroes? The Warriors Three, Valkyrie, & Angela, plus other wielders of Mjolnir – Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, Jane Foster – Valkyrie
As one of the organizers of the poll, I work closely with Tigereyes and a team of Mapping Minties to be sure Marvel’s entire publishing history has been mapped, with every issue fitting somewhere into an omnibus volume to fill your oversize Marvel shelf. Then, we’ll kick off the poll on Near Mint Condition on March 22, 2026.
After a several-year streak of new Thor and Loki omnis, we got a big fat nothing on the schedule for 2026. We have not a single book from Asgard in sight on the release schedule this year, despite Chris Hemsworth making his MCU return in Avengers: Doomsday later this year.
Thor is one of Marvel’s heroes with the best coverage in omnibus, but we still need a bare minimum of five more books to get complete coverage of his ongoing titles from his debut through Al Ewing’s current multi-year run that kicked off in 2023. And, really, we could sneak in a few more supporting books into that total of five, plus another six books for the major members of Thor’s supporting cast.
(…but not Loki, who has now been covered comprehensively in oversize format!)

Thor Omnibus Mapping: Thor, The Odinson
We have five existing classic Mighty Thor Omnibus volumes right now, but after that our coverage gets spotty until we hit a streak of books in the 2000s. See Guide to Thor – The Odinson for more details.

Thor: Mighty Thor Vol. 6 (1978 – 1980) [MMW 17-19, AKA Eternals Saga]

All but one of Thor’s classic omnibuses to date have obeyed the “3 Masterworks” rule. The rule-breaker, The Mighty Thor Vol. 3, broke the rules for a reason: We needed to add one extra Masterwork somewhere in order for the line to eventually cleanly align with the start of the Walt Simonson run, which begins with Masterworks Volume 23.
This run is mostly written by Roy Thomas, but he’s joined by a string of Marvel’s Bronze Age all-stars, including Len Wein, Mark Gruenwald, and Ralph Macchio, with pencils by John Buscema, Walt Simonson, and Keith Pollard. The omni will entirely collect one of the earliest major Thor arcs that has seen repeated collection, The Celestial Saga AKA The Eternals Saga, which runs right to the end of this volume.
Up to this point we’ve seen it take anywhere from two to six years between Thor’s classic collections. 2027 will be the two-year mark since Volume 5, and with us getting so close to complete coverage of Thor in omnibus it would be terrific to push Marvel to maintain a brisk pace.
A vote for this book is a vote to press forward with Thor’s classic collections, with an omnibus that includes a major and much-loved storyline.
This would collect Thor (1966) #267-302 & Annual 7-8, Marvel Preview (1975) #10, Marvel Treasury Edition (1974) #24 & 26.
Then, the following volume would collect Thor (1996) #303-336 & Annual 9-11, material from Bizarre Adventures (1981) #32, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #33 – The Mighty Thor: I, Whom The Gods Would Destroy (1987), and material from Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

Thor by Walt Simonson – Original Colors Edition (1983 – 1987) [AKA Mighty Thor Vol. 8, no skipped issues]

Thor by Walt Simonson is an incredibly popular omnibus.
I’d go so far as to say this may be second only to Chris Claremont’s X-Men in terms of Marvel’s most-important and acclaimed material of the 1980s. DC may have many evergreen original graphic novels, but Simonson’s Thor is an evergreen DOORSTOP at nearly 1200 pages of peerless mid-80s comics-making.
It’s also a monumentally important Thor run that introduces Beta Ray Bill, develops complex relationships between Thor’s supporting characters, and includes many memorable and often-imitated story elements.
The existing Thor by Walt Simonson Omnibus has been through three printings in the past 14 years, and the “three prints or more” club is relatively small! It was one of Marvel’s earliest big books, though we now look at its 1,200 page size as somewhat moderate.
But… some people aren’t happy with that book. Me. I’m one of those people.
The existing omnibus has one inarguably objective flaw and one subjective one.
The objective flaw is that it skips two issues! The omnibus does not collect issue #356, a fill-in by Bob Harras & Jackson Guice, and #370, by James Owsley & John Buscema. They are true fill-ins – Simonson had nothing to do with either issue, and they have no relation to his ongoing plot.
Skipped sequential issues are now UNHEARD OF from Marvel’s omnibuses in the present day, though it’s still a common practice at DC. Part of that is the “Near Mint Condition effect” – Omar’s viewers make noise if a newly-announced Marvel book skips material, and the feedback often makes it back to Marvel. And, Marvel has always been good about collecting continuous runs.
This book is a rare exception, likely because (a) it was marketed under a creator’s name, (b) it was seen as very large at the time it was released, and (c) there was an additional cost associated with the recoloring of Walt Simonson’s pencils.
Which brings us to the subjective problem with the existing omnibus: the colors. The entire run was painstakingly recolored by Steve Oliff with participation of Walt Simonson. However, those colors weren’t restored or remastered… they were RE-colored. Many of the color choices here don’t resemble the originals at all. This is another problem more often seen in DC omnibuses than at Marvel.
Marvel might oversaturate original colors meant to be absorbed by off-white newsprint, but they very, very, VERY rarely change any color values in existing material.
Oliff’s recolor is the work of a master, but it’s the work of a master working with the tools of 2011. At this point, the saturation and blending of late-00s colors are looking very dated compared to the present day. As a result, these colors have aged poorly compared to the timeless originals.
For the record, I’ve never liked the recolors. I bought a copy, saw a single page of the omnibus, and quickly sold my copy.
Clearly not everyone feels this way, since this book has been through three reprints! However, there’s a contingent of classic material fans who have been waiting patiently for the Marvel Masterworks restoration of this material so it can finally be released in omnibus with its original colors. (And, I suspect, many people who have bought it bought it just to have the Simonson material without giving too much thought to the colors.)
A vote for this book is a vote for Marvel to finally, after sixteen years (and three reprints), release an oversize version of this run with original colors and without any missing issues!
This would collect Thor (1966) #337-382 and Balder the Brave (1985) #1-4 with original colors.

Thor by DeFalco & Frenz Vol. 1 (1987 & on) [AKA Mighty Thor Vol. 9]

Typically we would not map more than two volumes into an ongoing run. However, we’re not really mapping more than two here, because this is just the first volume on the other side of Simonson!
If Simonson’s lengthy Thor run is the massively acclaimed critical favorite, Tom DeFalco & Ron Frenz’s run is the lesser-known scrappy underdog that all the true fans unabashedly adore.
DeFalco wrote, and wrote, and wrote Thor – running for over a hundred issues and well into the 90s. At a time when long runs were becoming increasingly scarce while Marvel and DC chased hot creators, DeFalco just kept churning out issues – while also doing the same thing on Fantastic Four (1961) and on Thor spin-off Thunderstrike (1993).
This run has so many good stories in it, including the long-running plot threads that eventually lead to Eric Masterson taking over the mantle of Thor!
Luckily, we’ve finally got this entirely collected in Epic Collection, but that just means the material and its mapping is ready and waiting for omnibus coverage. Since the run is 100+ issues even before adding in Annuals, crossovers, and supporting series and OGNs, it’s very likely this would be three or more volumes in length. So, while we can crack into this run as an option for the poll, based on our Tigereyes rules of engagement we won’t be mapping past this first volume.
A vote for this book is a vote to begin collecting one of Marvel’s last remaining multi-year creator runs without an omnibus.
This would begin to collect Tom DeFalco’s run from Thor (1966) #383-490 & Annual 14-19, Thor Corps (1993) #1-4, the “Blood and Thunder” crossover (Silver Surfer #86-88; Warlock Chronicles #6-8; Warlock and the Infinity Watch #23-25), and material from Avengers (1963) Annual 23.
This first volume would likely collect a minimum of Thor (1966) #383-418 & Annual 14.
![]()
If you can believe it, that’s all that’s left to collect of Thor until 2023! The DeFalco run is followed by 12 short issues before the end of Thor (1966), which are likely to simply be lumped in with the final volume. Then, we already have all of Thor’s series from 1998, 2007, 2010, and from Marvel Now to 2023! See Guide to Thor – Odinson for a listing of all of those omnibuses.
But… there’s a new book we’re proposing this year to go along with that 2000s material….
![]()
Thor: Thor & The Return of Asgard Companion (2004 – 2012) [Son of Asgard, Blood Oath, Deviants Saga, other minis & one-shots]
Thor is astoundingly well-collected from 1998 to 2023. You won’t hear a single complaint from me about his coverage in omnibus!
However, because all of his collections from 2007 and onward are extremely creator-focused, we haven’t seen any of his supporting series from that period collected – some of which are by major creators like Kurt Busiek, Paul Jenkins, and Alans Davis – plus, Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief “Akira Yoshida.”
Also, Sif’s run of Journey Into Mystery (2011) by Kathryn Immonen that followed Gillen’s run has become abandoned – and I love it. Really, the Loki: God of Stories omnibus is the only book to pick up any minis from this period.
A vote for this book is a vote to leave no Asgardian mini-series or one-shot behind from 2001 to 2012.
This would collect Thor: Godstorm (2001) #1-3, Thor: Son of Asgard (2004) #1-12, Thor: Blood Oath (2005) #1-6, Thor: The Truth of History (2008) #1, Thor: Wolves of the North (2010) #1, Thor: For Asgard (2010) #1-6, Iron Man/Thor (2010) #1-4, Thor: First Thunder (2010) #1-5, World War Hulks: Spider-Man vs Thor (2010) #1-2, Thor: The Mighty Avenger (2010) #1-8, Warriors Three (2010) #1-4, Astonishing Thor (2011) #1-5, Thor: Heaven and Earth (2011) #1-4, Chaos War: Thor (2011) #1-2, Thor: The Deviants Saga (2012) #1-5, Journey Into Mystery (2011) #646-655 [Sif]
This could add Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill (2005) #1-6, though that also would fit into a Beta Ray Bill omnibus. It could also repeat Loki (2004) #1-4 and Loki (2010) #1-4 from the Loki: God of Stories omnibus. It probably cannot include Thor: Vikings (2003) #1-5, a Marvel MAX series.

Thor: Immortal Thor by Al Ewing (2023 & on)
Al Ewing is telling a multi-year, multi-series epic about Thor and his mortality. Right now we’re in the second phase of three planned segments of that tale with Mortal Thor (2025).
However, the first phase is complete at 27 issues – the perfect length for a modern omnibus! Unlike the massive Immortal Hulk omnibus by Ewing, which made sense to knock out in one complete volume, with this run we know both Ewing and Thor are strong sellers in omnibus.
We already have solicits through Mortal Thor (2025) #11. If Ewing has at least 14 more issues planned, we’re already at a 50+ issue omnibus for the entire run. It could make sense to break it into two, and getting an omni of this first half out in a hurry could help stoke the interest in the back half of the run.
A vote for this book is a vote to be impatient and get the first phase of Al Ewing’s run on Thor out now!
This would collect Immortal Thor (2023) #1-25 & Annual 1/2023 and Roxxon Presents: Thor (2024) #1

Thor Omnibus Mapping: Warriors Three, Valkyrie, Angela Omnibus Maps
The realm of Asgard includes many allies for Thor. Three of his staunchest allies have been the Warriors Three – Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg. Meanwhile, several different women have held the title of Valkyrie, often treated by Marvel as the female equivalent of Thor. And, finally, in 2013 we learned about a lost daughter of Asgard – Angela, who was originally a character in Todd McFarlane’s Spawn!
![]()
Thor & The Warriors Three (1965 & on) [key Warriors Three stories]
The Warriors Three have had a handful of “best of” collections that have contained some of their best stories and solo appearances, as well as a pair of significant arcs from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #34-35 and Warriors Three (2010) #1-4. This omnibus would collect them all in one place. While that would double-dip a significant number of Thor issues, most of the issues listed below are not from Thor’s title.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of the greatest hits of the Warriors Three into a single volume.
This book would collect a minimum of Journey into Mystery #119, Thor (1966) Annual 2, Incredible Hulk (1968) #102, Marvel Spotlight (1971) #30, Marvel Fanfare (1982) #34-35, Journey Into Mystery (1952) #-1, Warriors Three (2010) #1-4; material from Tales to Astonish (1959) #101, Marvel Fanfare (1982) #13 & 36-37, Thor (1966) #400, 410 & 415-416, Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #66, Thor (1966) Annual 17, and Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) #15, and other key Warriors Three appearances and stories.
![]()
Defenders: Valkyrie & The Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn (1994 – 2019) [Fearless, Fearless Defenders, Asgardians of the Galaxy]
Brunnhilde, the original Valkyrie, debuted in the pages of Defenders (1972) #4 in 1973. For her full history and every appearance explained, see my Guide to Valkyrie!
There’s really no point to doing a “The Early Years” omnibus for Valkyrie – it would just be issues of Defenders! However, Valkyrie has a pair of 90s solo stories and a brief burst of significant issues in 2009-2010 that would act as an anchor in this book to introduce her character.
However, the real point of this title would be to collect a trio of series by Cullen Bunn, who crackled Valkyrie into wider popularity and a starring role in the 20000s across three series – Fear Itself: The Fearless (2011), Fearless Defenders (2013), and Asgardians of the Galaxy (2018).
All three of these series might not see collection elsewhere. Fear Itself (2010) is a sprawling event that would have trouble containing this epilogue in an event omnibus. Fearless Defenders (2013) would really only have another home in a Misty Knight omnibus. And, while you’re about to see us repeat Asgardians of the Galaxy (2018) in the next proposed omnibus, it’s very much the conclusion of Bunn’s Valkyrie saga and primarily belongs here.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Brunnhilde the Valkyrie’s significant post-Bronze Age material into a single omnibus, including three series that might not otherwise be collected in omnibus.
This would collect some non-Bunn establishing Valkyrie material from Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #168 (4th story), Valkyrie (1997) #1, Valkyrie (2010) #1, She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision (2009) #1, Heralds (2010) #1-5, and Secret Avengers (2010) #14.
Then, it would collect Bunn’s run from Fear Itself: The Fearless (2011) #0-12, Fearless Defenders (2013) #1-12, and Asgardians of the Galaxy (2018) #1-10.

Angela, Asgard’s Daughter Vol. 1 (2013 & on) [includes solo minis, Strikeforce]
Angela is a character with a truly peculiar history leading up to her current resurgence as a character in Marvel Rivals, which I fully explore in my Guide to Angela.
Long story short: Neil Gaiman co-created her with Todd McFarlane, they later got into a bitter legal fight over rights and royalties, and when they settled Gaiman sold Angela to Marvel along with giving them the blessing to pick up his Miracleman comics (although neither he nor McFarlane may have ever actually owned the rights to Miracleman… which you can read more about in my Miracleman Guide launch post).
Angela arrived in the Marvel Universe through a seeming rip in the fabric of reality at the end of Brian Bendis’s 2013 event Age of Ultron. That was just a hand-waving explanation of where she had been all of these years, since it was quickly established that she had an intrinsic connection to Thor and Asgard.
Angela was never quite a breakout star before her addition to Rivals, but she anchored a number of short runs in the 00s, culminating with her as a co-load in Cullen Bunn’s Asgardians of the Galaxy (2018) during War of the Realms and then starring in an Avengers-except-in-name squad Strikeforce (2019).
A vote for this volume is a vote to collect all of Angela’s first decade of Marvel material together in one volume.
This would collect material from Age of Ultron (2013) #10; Guardians of the Galaxy (2013) #5-9; Original Sin (2014) #5.1 – 5.5 [AKA Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm], Angela: Asgard’s Assassin (2015) #1-6, 1602 Witch Hunter Angela (2015) #1-4, Angela – Queen of Hel (2015) #1-7, Asgardians of the Galaxy (2018) #1-10, and Strikeforce (2019) #1-9. It could continue with her further appearances in Thor (2020) and Immortal Thor (2023).

Thor Omnibus Mapping: Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, & Jane Foster – Valkyrie Omnibus Maps
Thor does not just have allies on Asgard! Three of his most ardent supporters – who were all able to lift Mjölnir – were from realms other than Asgard!

Thor: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill (1983 – 2021) [all major stories through DWJ]
Beta Ray Bill is a fascinating character who originated in Walt Simonson’s Thor run. He is beloved by fans and creators alike, which has meant many Thor writers haven’t been able to resist using him in their runs. Learn about Beta Ray Bill’s complete comics history in my Guide to Beta Ray Bill.
Even if we leave aside every possible bit of excerpted material from Thor comics, Beta Ray Bill has enough material for his own slim omnibus of material from 2005 to present. However, there is a chance to collect essentially every important Beta Ray Bill page, ever into a single omnibus that begins with his acclaimed classic introduction by Walt Simonson and climaxes in his ecstatically-received journey of self-discovery and healing (through violence) by Daniel Warren Johnson.
The great thing about this book is it really does tell a complete story! Beta Ray Bill has been through many changes, both physical and mental, and these issues track all of them while leaving aside unimportant cameos.
A vote for this book is a vote for a complete “Book of Beta Ray Bill” containing the first 40 years of his story.
This would collect Thor (1966) #337-340, #350-353 (& material from #349, 354-355, 357-359), 363, 411-413 & Annual 16, Thor War in #438-441, 442, 461 (and sub-plot pages from Silver Surfer (1987) #79 & 81-82), Thor Corps (1993) #1-4, Thor (1966) #480, Starmasters (1995) #1-3, Cosmic Powers Unlimited (1995) #4-5, Thor (1998) #30 (and material from #31-33, 39-41, & Annual 2001), Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill (2005) #1-6, Secret Invasion: Thor (2008) #1-3, Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill (2009) #1, Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter (2009) #1-3, Sif (2010) #1, maybe Unworthy Thor (2017) #1-5, maybe Annihilation – Scourge (2019) Alpha, Beta Ray Bill, & Omega, and definitely Beta Ray Bill (2021) #1-5 by Daniel Warren Johnson.

Thunderstrike by DeFalco (1991 – 1995 & 2011) [could include Blackwulf]
You could thing of this volume as “Thor by DeFalco Vol. 3.5.” That’s because Eric Masterson graduates directly from serving as Thor in DeFalco’s run to becoming his own unique hero as Thunderstrike. You can learn more about that process in my Guide to Thunderstrike.
Thunderstrike (1993) is a surprisingly complete tale with a definitive climax that caps Masterson’s hero’s journey that began with his introduction as an unassuming construction worker in 1988. After the conclusion of his series in 1995, it seemed like his story had a definitive ending. However, it briefly continued in Thunderstrike (2011) with a mini-series focused on Kevin Masterson – who was always at the center of his father’s story.
Damnit, I’m getting a little choked up just writing about it.
Now, I am duty-bound to report to you that the Uncanny Omar feels that this 24-issue run ought to be collected within a Thor by DeFalco & Frenz line that we discussed above. We went in that direction for Fantastic Force, earlier in the poll, so why not do it here?
My argument against that is that Thunderstrike is a substantial run with a defined beginning, middle, and tragic end – plus an epilogue. I don’t know if that could be presented in a satisfactory way while running alongside a main run of Thor (although the recent Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch omnibus line and the way it incorporates Johnny Blaze material makes the case that Marvel might be able to make it work.
Let me kick it over to my fellow Mapping Mintie colleague DBZAllAStar to explain one more addition to this book:
My ongoing case to Omar has been to push for Blackwulf (1994) to be added to a Thunderstrike Omni 1) as he figures very prominently into that series, 2) the book is quite strange and features some genuinely excellent (and mostly Angel Medina) art, and 3) is I think guaranteed to otherwise either be permanently overlooked or relegated to a distant paperback.
Alright, now that I’ve composed myself – your wish is always my command to Marvel, DBZAllStar! From this point forward, all maps of Thunderstrike for the Tigereyes poll will also include Blackwulf (1994)!
A vote for this book is a vote to collect the epic rise, fall, and return(?) of Thunderstrike – plus the complete series of Blackwulf.
This would collect Thor (1966) #433-436, Thor Corps (1993) #1-4, and Thunderstrike (1993) #1-24, plus establishing material excerpted from Thor (1966) #391-393, 403, 405-408, 413-414, 416-418, 423, & 450-459.
It could also add all of Blackwulf (1994) #1-10 and continue to Thunderstrike (2011) #1-5 and Fear Itself: The Home Front (2011) #5-7.

Valkyrie: Jane Foster by Aaron, Ewing, & Grønbekk (2019 & on)
Y’all, I have read every single issue of this book, and it is all extremely good. If you love Thor by Jason Aaron Vol. 1-2 as much as I do, this is the epilogue you need on your shelf!
Jane Foster started her life as a mild-mannered nurse working with Dr. Donald Blake who fell in love with Thor. Of course, since her employer Dr. Blake was just a construct of Odin the Allfather, that complicated both her employment history and her romantic history. I review all of Jane Foster’s comics continuity issue by issue in my Guide to Jane Foster – Mighty Thor & Valkyrie.
Of course, we have all of Jane’s entry into being a hero in Thor by Jason Aaron Vol. 1 & Vol. 2. At the end of Aaron’s run, there was some question if Jane would continue her heroism or return to life as a civillian.
That question was answered by a sequence of “Valkyrie: Jane Foster” series that were all surprisingly strong. They were originally launched by Al Ewing and Jason Aaron, and later brought writer Torunn Grønbekk into the Marvel fold.
While you cold make the argument that Jane’s story is still ongoing, at this point we’ve had 25 issues of her as Valkyrie anchoring her own adventures. Without another major run imminent, it could be a good time to collect that first three year burst of her stories.
A vote for this book is a vote to collect Jane Foster’s heroic adventures after the end of Jason Aaron’s hor.
This would collect Valkyrie: Jane Foster (2019) #1-10, King in Black: Return of the Valkyries (2021) #1-5, Mighty Valkyries (2021) #1-5, Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor (2022) #1-5, and selected issues from her time in Avengers (2018) and appearing in Thor (2020).
Hi Krisis. Would it be make sense to add What If? (1977) #10 at 34 pages to the Mighty Thor Omnibus Vol. 6. Marvel has shown a willingness to add What If? issues into the Spider-Man and Fantastic Four lines, so it wouldn’t be something unheard of. Plus, this issue asks what if Jane Foster could wield Thor’s hammer, a question that will be explored more in depth by Jason Aaron.
Would you also be willing to add more Thor stories to the Thor and the Return of Asgard Companion omnibus such as Thor: Trial of Thor (2009) #1 at 33 pages, Thor: The Rage of Thor (2010) #1 at 33 pages, Avengers Origins: Thor (2012) #1 at 32 pages, Thor: Whosoever Holds This Hammer (2011) #1 (the story is mostly a framing sequence of early Thor stories that are recolored, so I’m unsure of how much of this issue to collect) at 78 (or less) pages, Thor: The Worthy (2020) #1 (this issue has a Beta Ray Bill story written by Walt Simonson, a Thunderstrike story as written by Tom Defalco and Ron Frenz, and a Sif story written by Kathryn Immomen) at 33 pages, Sif (2010) #1 at 24 pages (I really think this issue is super important to add to this omnibus since it would also collect Sif’s ongoing series), What If Thor Was the Herald of Galactus (2006) #1 at 23 pages (This would be a cool book to add since it was written by Robert Kirkman and may have lead to Donny Cates eventually making Thor a herald of Galactus in his run), What If Thor Was Raised by Frost Giants (2018) #1 at 22 pages, and Free Comic Book Day 2011 (Thor the Mighty Avenger) (2011) 1 at 23 pages. If you had to add only the essentials, please add Thor: Trial of Thor (2009) #1, Thor: The Rage of Thor (2010) #1, Sif (2010) #1, and tthe Sif story from Thor: The Worthy (2020) #1.
To the Thunderstrike omnibus, could you add the Thunderstrike story from Thor: The Worthy (2020) #1 at 10 pages.
Thanks for reading all this.
I forgot to mention, but could you add the Beta Ray Bill story from Thor: The Worthy (2020) 1 at 10 pages to a Beta Ray Bill omnibus. This story was written by his creator and a Beta Ray Bill omnibus should contain every comic where he is the star. Thanks.
Regarding the DeFalco Thor omnibus, DeFalco left Thor to launch Thunderstrike after #459. Marz and Starlin then wrote until #471, which includes Blood and Thunder. Then Roy Thomas wrote a run until #489. DeFalco and Frenz returned for #490 which served as an epilogue to Thunderstrike.
