THOR WAGES WAR AGAINST SURTUR IN A BATTLE FOR THE AGES!

• Restored from Simonson’s original artwork, it’s never looked better.

• The Marvel Masterworks faithfully restore the original comics’ coloring, a presentation not available in other editions of Walter Simonson’s Thor.

Surtur is free! The Casket of Ancient Winters has been opened! An army is marching on Asgard and Earth! Walter Simonson has set the stage for the truly epic conclusion of his “Surtur Saga” and does it ever deliver! Thor, Beta Ray Bill and a host of Marvel Universe heroes fight back the endless invading hordes while Odin marshals his strength to battle Surtur. In the aftermath of this great war, the Rainbow Bridge is shattered and Odin has fallen, which leaves an opening for lying Loki and lascivious Lorelei to work their take advantage and take over. Also featuring a never before reprinted Annual penciled and inked by John Buscema and the “Raven Banner” graphic novel lavishly illustrated by Charles Vess!

IT’S THE END OF THE ROAD FOR JOHNNY BLAZE IN GHOST RIDER MASTERWORKS VOL. 7

  • The classic 1973 Ghost Rider series is reprinted in full with this Marvel Masterworks volume!
  • Including a rare Marvel Super-Heroes story for a complete accounting of Blaze’s original adventures.

The Marvel Masterworks proudly present the finale of the Ghost Rider series that burned through pages for a decade and made the demon biker an icon. In this volume, series artist Bob Budiansky is joined by then-up-and-coming and now-lengendary writer J.M. DeMatteis. They’ll make Johnny Blaze’s struggle to contain the vengeance-obsessed demon as compelling as ever with adversaries like the stunning Steel Wind. The true test comes when Asmodeus compels Mephisto to split Blaze and Zarathos. It’s pedal to the metal from there as Zarathos’ origin is revealed and Roxanne Simpson returns, setting up a final showdown that will prove the high cost of vengeance. Also featuring two rare Ghost Rider What If? tales and an encounter with the Defenders.

Meanwhile, Reed shares a tale of alien invasion by the giant green monster, Gormuu, before setting off on a time-traveling journey that will bring him up close with cowboys, aliens and his time-tramping father. As the relationship between She-Hulk and Wyatt grows more intimate, the demonic Mephisto rears his awful head and the Thing returns from Battleworld! Plus: John Byrne’s unfinished cosmic masterpiece “The Last Galactus Story.”

Plus: X-Men scribe Chris Claremont delivers an Annual battle against the dread Dormammu, while Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio deliver a fresh set of Tales of Asgard backup stories. Lift Mjolnir, high, this is a Masterworks fit for the Realm Eternal!
