    I don't necessarily need help getting into tor bc I started with the new series and absolutely loved it. I want to know some great runs some great stories with loki as the main villain some great stories about the other realms especially stuff about maleketh and surtur and just plain great thor runs. I've read some silver age thor so I know about don blake. So try to keep it in the last 15 years

    @bigtewell: Walt Simonson's run

    He is widely considered by Thor fans as the premier Thor writer. They just released a reprint of volume 1 from his run, check it out.

    @bigtewell: Walt Simonson as mentioned above

    J Michael Straczynski`s run got me back into comics after a few years break. Got some Surtur as well

    As for Loki, I would recommend Thor: The Trials of Loki and Thor & Loki - Blood Brothers (drawn by Ribic by the way ;) I know you can buy them both on Amazon but if you dont mind digital theyre available on the Marvel App or Comixology

    @bigtewell: As mentioned before go with Simonson's run, or if you want something more recent J M Straczynski`s run.
