I used to have quite a hard time figuring out how to organize my reading schedule when it came to the library of Marvel and DC, until I discovered that they both have released respective catalogs, such as the Marvel Backlist Reading Chronology. With the help of Comic Vine and comicbookdb.com I was able to determine the content of the different collected editions, so when I decided to prepare for Iron Man 3 and heard that the Mandarin and the Extremis technology will both play major parts in the movie, I simply organized a neat little reading order for myself.
When it comes to Thor 2, Thor by Walter Simonson Omnibus is a given, since Malekith and Kurse are both creations of Simonson and play major roles in the storyline collected in that book, but I highly doubt the sreenwriters/producers turned for inspiration from only one particular writer/era.
So, my question goes to Thor experts: judging by the movie's premise, what other stories should not-so-experts look up?
