Jane Foster, Mighty Thor & Valkyrie – Definitive Collecting Guide & Reading Order

We see some flashbacks of Jane prior to her debut in : Avengers (2015) #1, Thor (1966) #704, 415, 479, Journey Into Mystery (1952) #-1, and Thor (1966) #502

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #84: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Jane is introduced in issue #84 as a nurse attending to Dr. Donald Blake’s physician rounds who volunteers to accompany him on a medical mission to war torn San Diablo. While he years for her but assumes she will be disinterested due to his disability, she wishes he would show some form of affection towards her – and falls for the dashing Thor when Blake summons him to save the day.

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #85-93 & 95-96: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Jane continues as Donald Blake’s attending nurse and main supporting player on Earth, witness various instances of Thor saving the day or Dr. Blake returning from the same while she suspects nothing. She is often used in the final panel for an “if only she knew” sort of punchline for Blake/Thor. Jane is occasionally the main damsel in distress, as in #89 & 95, but there’s not any particular plot development for her other than her pining over Thor. While she does show some agency, it’s often at the expense of belittling or mocking Dr. Blake due to his disability (whether that’s out loud or in her thoughts). By issue #96, she is outright berating him for his inattentiveness to his medical practice (due to his adventures as Thor), though she complements his work as a surgeon by the close of the issue.

During this period (during #89?): in Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1.4 we see a young Spider-Man snapping photos of Thor flying Jane through the air

After #96: in Avengers (1963) #1 we see Jane silently attending Dr. Blake in his office: Also in Avengers: Origin (2010) #1

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #97-98: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Donald Blake is on the verge of confessing his secret of being Thor (and his feelings) to Jane, but when he pulls back at the last moment she resolves to move on – quickly accepting a job with another doctor. She quickly returns to Blake’s employ after a display of cowardice from her new employer (and bravery from Thor), still none the wiser of Blake’s secret.

After #98: in Avengers (1963) #3 we get a typical panel of Jane pitying Dr. Blake for his disability.

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #99-100: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Thor is confronted with Mr. Hyde just as Dr. Blake and Jane finally go on their first on-panel date. Here, we see that Jane does have feelings for Blake, as she willfully interferes with Thor in his battle with Hyde thinking that doing so will save Blake’s life.

After #100: in Avengers (1963) #5, Jane brings Dr. Blake his lunch and – in a nice bit of continuity with Journey Into Mystery – denies that she loves him. Official sources places Thor: Godstorm (2001) #1-2 here, but I feel they should be directly after #98. We see Jane ably assisting Dr. Blake with a mysterious patient and asking to go out to dinner -which he spurns. That doesn’t make any sense after JIM #99-100.

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #103-111: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. By issue #103 we’re meant to understand that Jane and Dr. Blake have progressed from casual dating to a more serious relationship, as we see her tending to him in #103 while wondering when he will propose marriage (only to believe it’s because of his “relationship” with the always-meddling Enchantress). That leaves them estranged in #104-105 while still working together, as Jane suggests she is heading out on a date with someone else. Then, in #106-107, Jane assumes Dr. Blake has betrayed Thor and Thor plays along. Loki kidnaps Jane in #108, though she plays an especially passive role (mostly unconscious). Jane and Dr. Black are back to dating in #109 while Thor faces off against Magneto, presumably with Thor having resolve their various disputes off-panel. She’s back to passive, unconscious damsel in #110-111

After #109: in Marvels (1994) #2, Jane cameos on a date with Dr. Blake at an Alicia Masters art showing. In Avengers (1963) #9 she cameos alongside Dr. Blake as he studies Wonder Man’s X-Rays.

After #111: in Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995) Annual ’97, Jane cameos telling Dr. Blake to destress before he sneaks away to transform into Thor.

Journey Into Mystery (1952) #113-117, #120-122, & 124-125: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Issue #113 is the big reveal – Dr. Blake confesses his secret identity as Thor to Jane! Except… it doesn’t quite go as planned and Jane doesn’t believe him. However, it does resolve their on-again, off-again relationship, making Jane a more-straightforward, passive romantic lead beginning in #114-115. She is nearly kidnapped by Executioner and Enchantress in #116 before being saved by Balder (in regular civilian garb) at the top of #117. They are estranged in as of issue #120-121 after Thor has been away tending to his hammer. They reunite in #122, but in #124-125 Jane is wracked with anxiety that Blake may again disappear without a trace, which leads to a final, unquestionable reveal of his identity in #124. Issue #125, a battle with Hercules (who Jane finds entrancing), continues into the following Thor run.

After #117: in Thor: Blood Oath (2005) #1 & 6 we see Jane assisting an attending Dr. Blake as he sees to patients in a hospital, where they discover one of their charges is a young mutant. This portrays Jane as much more inquisitive than she is in the actual Silver Age comics, proposing that they attend a genetics conference together. Apparently he stood her up, because she won’t speak to him when she cameos at the end of issue #6.

Thor (1966) #126-127: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. The Hercules story continues from Journey Into Mystery (1952) #125 into #126-127. Thor thinks himself unworthy of Jane due to his loss to Hercules, but Odin appears to Jane in a vision and urges her to pursue him. He rebuffs her and departs.

Thor (1966) #129-135: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Thor returns to reunite with her in #129 only to find she has an odd new roommate, Tana Nile. In #130, Tana commands Jane to get as far away from Blake/Thor as possible, she complies. This leads into an extraterrestrial fight for Thor, with Jane only appearing sporadically in #131-132 as she distances herself from her old home, only to be recruited by the High Evolutionary in #133-135 as a nursemaid and caretaker of his peculiar flock.

Thor (1966) #136: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Thor finally brings Jane to Asgard! Odin turns Jane into a goddess in a bid to force her to prove her love. She eventually demands to be returned to Earth, and so Odin sends her back… seemingly without her memory of Thor! (All in the name of setting Thor up with Sif.)

Thor (1966) #146: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Thor glimpses Jane in the crowd at a circus, seemingly on a date with another man (which makes sense, since she doesn’t remember Thor!). Thor (1966) #279 (flashback)

Thor (1966) #172: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Dr. Jim North, who Jane briefly worked for in #97-98, summons Donald Blake (known friend of Thor) to report that Jane has been abducted. By the end of the issue, it’s clear to the reader and to Thor that Jane and Dr. North are in love – he leaves them to their lives.

Thor (1966) #231-232 & 235-236: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Thor attends to the bedside of a comatose Jane in #231-232, sending Sif into a fit of jealousy. Thor is utterly distraught at the thought of losing Jane permanently, even if she has no memory of their time together. Sif resolves to take matters into her own hands at Jane’s beside in #235, and in #236 she sacrifices her own lifeforce to merge with Jane’s (who seemingly remembers Thor in the process).

Thor (1966) #237-241: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Issue #237 finds us returned to an earlier status quo – Jane and Dr. Blake together both at the office and romantically with no hint of Sif remaining… save for Jane’s sudden assertive adventurous streak in #238 & 240-241 as she works to reunite him with a disappeared Odin. We get hints of a change in #237 which are confirmed in #239 – Jane is now more enamored with Thor than she is with Dr. Blake.

Thor (1966) #242-250: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Jane is assaulted and plays the damsel upon their return home in brief appearances in the time-travel plot in #242-245, though she does briefly take up a sword in battle in #244… and for a moment seems to take on the form of Sif! Jane plays hostage again in a jungle adventure with Fire-Lord in #246-247, though again she seems much more capable of defending herself than ever before – including a thrilling life-or-death duel in #247! She appears only for a panel in #248, but upon taking up Sif’s sword in defense of Asgard #249 she transforms to Sif! #250 resolves with Sif still in control and no glimpse of Jane.

After #245: a flashback to this period in Unworthy Thor (2017) #4

Thor (1966) Annual 9: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In a confrontation with the Sorceress Umar, we confirm that Jane still exists somewhere within Sif when she is briefly recalled during their conflict. However, at the end of the issue she transforms back to Sif.

Thor (1966) #335: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. This issue is the climax of an ongoing attempt to restore Jane, who has now been separated from Sif and contained within a mystic runestaff. By the end of issue, Jane is restored to her own body – but, with only a dim memory of her relationship with Thor compared to her memories of Dr. Blake. She is reunited with Dr. Keith Kincaid, leaving Thor and Sif to their own devices.

Thor (1966) #336: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Jane and Keith are engaged to be married, and Thor promises to return for their wedding, which he does – arm and arm with Sif – in the back-up story.

Thor (1966) #372: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. We get a brief flash of Jane and Keith at home in Chicago, where Jane is visibly pregnant. Her life is at risk from a murderous misogynist villain, but Thor saves the day. Thor (1966) #476 (flashback)

Thor (1966) #394: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. A screenwriter trying to crack the perfect Thor plot visits Jane in her suburban home, where she tends to her toddler. The writer quizzes Jane on her relationship with Thor, and we get a definitive recap of what exactly Jane recalls about their ongoing relationship in the wake of her multiple memory losses along the way.

Thor (1966) #475-477: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #475, Thor discovers a captured Donald Blake (long story), and Jane Foster and her son are used as bait for them both. Once they are out of danger, Jane reveals she is separated from her husband. In #476, Jane gives a recap of her history to both Thor and Blake, each suffering from an amount of memory loss. She decides to stay behind with her son to tend to the High Evolutionary’s AniMutants (for whom she has been responsible in the past!). She spends a few pages getting to know her new charges in #477.

After #477: in Fantastic Four Unlimited (1993) #9, Jane and Jimmy appear alongside the AniMutants when they are summoned by the F4, which is a nice bit of continuity.

Thor (1966) #480, 482-484, 486, 488-489: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Issue #480 is largely a domestic issue amongst the AniMutants, with a number of Jane scenes. She makes progress with the AniMutants, but more importantly she talks to Thor about how he is without Sif and she is separated from her husband. They almost share a kiss, but it fizzles at the final moment. She is mostly a prop in #482, leaving her son behind for an interstellar mission with Thor and Donald Blake, only to help move the plot along so that Thor and the (fake?) Dr. Blake would remerge, and she appears in just one panel of #483 to recap that. Having lost both Blake (to being absorbed) and Thor (to being reunited with Sif), in #484 Jane tells her son Jimmy it’s time to go home. Yet, she’s still with the AniMutants and High Evolutionary in #486, sad about losing both men. She skirts the edges of a mega battle in #488 and has a brief cameo in #489 – after which she is presumably back to her regular life.

Thor (1966) #502: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson, or Marvel Universe Events: Onslaught. Jane gets one final moment of resolve with Thor in #502 acting as a mobile triage nurse in the midst of Onslaught.

After #502: in Heroes For Hire (1997) #5 Jane Foster is looking after Sersei while a distraught Black Knight looks on. She confirms she is not yet a doctor here. A scene with Jane as a nurse in a hospital in NYC in the epilogue of 1985 (2008) #6 may also fit here.

Thor (1998) #1: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Jane is relieved to see Thor alive after Onslaught when he drops off an ailing ally to her care, and she reveals she is now Doctor Foster!

After #1: in Heroes For Hire (1997) #13, Dr. Foster reports on the condition of an unconscious Iron Fist. This could be placed prior to Thor #1, but it would ruin her Doctor reveal there, so it’s easy to place it here. In Quicksilver (1997) #11 and Heroes For Hire (1997) #16, she seems to have taken up a side gig at the infirmary at the team’s headquarters at Oracle, Inc – though we never get any explanation or follow-up on this.

Thor (1998) #5-6, & 8: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #6, Dr. Foster runs into Thor’s new alter-ego, Jake Olson – an EMT. He almost reveals his identity to her immediately. She continues from that scene into a sub-plot about pharmacy thefts at her hospital. However, he gives a strong hint later in the issue, when Dr. Foster talks him through a procedure remotely and he makes references to Donald Blake and some Asgardian ticks of speech. She pursues her suspicions in #6, cornering Jake for a conversation. She receives a patient from his ambulance in #8.

It’s not clear where Jane’s action in Avengers (1998) #11 and Iron Man (1998) #11-13 fit, but it’s somewhere in this period. In Avengers (1998) #11, Jane is implied on the other side of a phone call reporting Tony’s condition. Then, in Iron Man (1998) #11, she pays a housecall to Tony Stark and exposits impressively for an entire page about how injured he is. It’s not a significant issue, but it’s probably the most sheer medical competence we’ve seen from Jane Foster on page to this point. She continues to supervise his treatment in Iron Man (1998) #12. She is also in a panel of #13, but it’s ostensibly a flashback to her scene in #11.

Thor (1998) #10, 12-13: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #10, Doctor Foster’s suspicions are all but confirmed when Jake slips away from a conversation when the visage of a captive Sif is projected over the city. She is the featured character of the first third of #12, questioning Jake’s mortal fiancé and later interrogating Thor about his flimsy deception (though she doesn’t get a response). He confirms her accusation in #13 when he returns with a cure for her patient, but they leave the conversation about what he will do about his fiancé unresolved (and Dr. Foster has some thoughts on that.)

After #13: in Iron Man (1998) #15, Jane has a one-line cameo to explain Tony is (mostly) recovered. Then, in Avengers (1998) #17, it seems that Tony has summoned her to Avengers Mansion to run tests on Justice – who has a concussion.

Thor (1998) #14-16: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #14, Dr. Foster is shocked when the new case she admits to the E.R. is Jake Olson – and even more shocked that he’s under investigation as the drug thief from her dangling subplot! The rest of the issue flashes back to show us how he got to that point. In #15, Jake confesses he’s stuck in human form, and Dr. Foster agrees to help him evade arrest. She briefly goes on the run with Jake at the top of #16, but he leaves her behind to locate his hammer.

Thor (1998) #19-21 & Annual 2000: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #19, she’s back to regular doctor duties, relieved that Jake is seemingly exonerated, though that’s cast into doubt in #20 as Dr. Foster prods Jake’s fiancé on how well she really knows her man. In #21, Dr. Foster refuses to let Thor solve the mystery of Jake Olson without her, so she impetuously grabs a hold of him just as he is transporting himself to Asgard – only her second trip! As Thor battles Mangog, Dr. Foster tends to wounded Asgardians – including her former body-double, Sif! Annual 2000 pays off many Dr. Foster subplots, not only resolving the Jake Olson story, but also giving her moments with Sif (for the first time since they were separated!) and a confrontation with Odin (for the first time since he tricked her into being a goddess!).

Thor (1998) #26-27: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #26, a comment in Dr. Foster’s brief cameo implies she reunited with her estranged husband, Dr. Keith Kincaid! She briefly assists Thor in his fight with Crusher Creel and Titania in #27, despite Dr. Kincaid being injured in the fight.

After #27: In Avengers (1998) #24, Dr. Foster makes a house call to take a cast off of Justice’s leg.

Thor (1998) #29-31: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #29, Dr. Kincaid remains in a coma and Dr. Foster is called to tend to an injured Hogun of the Warriors 3. Both plots continue to brief scenes in #30-31.

After #31: In Avengers (1998) Annual 2001, the teams summons Dr. Foster to examine a critically injured Hank Pym, and she appears throughout the issue. Them, in She-Hulk (2005) #14 we see several pages of flashback of Thor battling a creature while its creator holds a clearly-referenced “Doctor” Foster captive.

Thor (1998) #35-37: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #35, Dr. Foster is surprised to greet Jake Olson’s mother at the hospital, and relieved that Dr. Kincaid awakens from his coma. She and Sif watch over a critically injured Jake Olson in #36. We briefly glimpse Dr. Foster fleeing from a battle with The Destroyer in #37.

Thor (1998) #39-40: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Issue #39 begins with Dr. Foster treating two patients in one – both Jake Olson and Thor! When she deems the latter’s injuries outside of her powers to resolve, he transports her to Asgard. She returns to her apartment in #40 to find her newly non-comatose husband missing. This plot goes unresolved,  (Jane is listed in #41, but I think it’s a mistake – it doesn’t make sense for her to be at the funeral in the issue based on where we left her just prior).

After #40: In Captain America (2004) #7, a “one year ago” flashback has Dr. Foster delivering bad news to Jack Monroe, the former Nomad.

Thor (1998) #60: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Dr. Foster cameos giving Jake Olson approval for another field procedure. Then, in She-Hulk (2005) #11-12, she plays a generic doctor looking in on two different patients from She-Hulk’s supporting cast.

After #60: In Civil War (2006) #4-5, Dr. Foster has a pair of blink-and-you-miss-them cameos tending to the wounded on Cap’s side of the conflict.

Thor (2007) #8 & 11: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. After a long absence for Thor, in #8 he returns to Earth in mortal guise to visit Dr. Foster in the hospital – where she is unknowingly caring for a familiar patience. A tense and out-of-character conversation ensues where Dr. Foster tells the story of her recent divorce. She cameos in #11 at dinner with a restored Dr. Blake.

A flashback in Thor (1966) #704 shows a scene immediately following issue #8

Thor (1966) #600, 602, 604, 606: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. In #600, Dr. Foster cameos to call Thor in to a confrontation in NYC. In #602 she realizes the secret of her familiar patient and summons Thor once again. In #604 she shares a phone call with a very human Dr. Blake. She arrives in Broxton, Oklahoma in #606 just prior to Siege to find Thor seemingly back to his Asgardian self.

After #606: In X-Factor (1986) #209, the team runs into Dr. Foster in Vegas while on the hunt for Hela (she’s there for an AMA conference), and she calls Dr. Blake to send in Thor for some support.

Thor (1966) #615, 617-621: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Matt Fraction takes over Thor, and begins to steer some of the plot and supporting characters in the direction of the first MCU film, which means Jane Foster is back – and… reconnecting with Dr. Blake? We briefly catch her loading her car with files in Broxton in #617, chatting with Tony Stark in #618, being told to flee by Thor in #620, and seemingly experiencing the end of the world in #621.

After #621: In Captain America (1968) #607, Dr. Foster pays a house call to Avengers tower on Captain America’s request to check on Winter Soldier.

Fear Itself (2011) #7.2: See Guide to Thor, The Odinson or Marvel Universe Events: Fear Itself. While triaging a never-ending series of patients in Broxton, we see Jane receive the news that Thor is (seemingly) dead.

The Mighty Thor (2011) #8-9 (implied in 10): See Guide to Thor, The Odinson. Dr. Foster is back to her medical practice in #8, though seemingly without Dr. Blake (despite his name still being on the door). She cameos briefly in a scene with Kid Loki in #9. Dr. Blake jousts with her new love interest over her in #10, but she remains unseen.
