It's Thor as you've never seen him before! Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated writer Roger Langridge and artist Chris Samnee reimagine the God of Thunder! Thrill as Thor faces the mischievous machinations of his adopted brother, Loki, battles raging robots the size of cities and fights side-by-side with Iron Man for the first time! Gasp as he tames the mightiest sea creatures and tests his might against the Sub-Mariner! Swoon as he rescues damsels in distress from the vilest villains! And chuckle as the Son of Odin finds his way in a strange world - with Jane Foster as his guide! Featuring the Warriors Three and the fearsome Fin Fang Foom! Plus: Loki's machinations throw Thor and a World War II-era Captain America into King Arthur's court in a time-twisting tale of Camelot craziness! Collecting THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER #1-8 and FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011 (THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER).
Roger Langridge is best known as the creator of the Eisner, Harvey, Ignatz and Reuben Award-nominated series Fred the Clown, available as a collection from Fantagraphics (and on the web at ModernTales.com). His other work includes Knuckles the Malevolent Nun, Zoot Suite and the web strip Hotel Fred, as well as Art d'Ecco in collaboration with his brother Andrew. Marvel’s Fin Fang Four represented his first stab at the venerable Giant 6,000-Year-Old Lizard genre. Langridge breathed new life into the God of Thunder in the critically lauded all-ages title Thor: The Mighty Avenger with artist Chris Samnee. He lives in London with his wife Sylvie, their two children and a box of his own hair.

Chris Samnee has drawn comics for major and indie publishers including Marvel, DC/Vertigo and Oni Press. His credits include the Vertigo graphic novel Area 10 with writer Christos Gage and the Marvel series Thor: The Mighty Avenger with writer Roger Langridge. He subsequently joined a team of artists including Mike Deodato Jr. and Butch Guice on Ed Brubaker’s Captain America, and helped launch Captain America and Bucky. His two collaborations with writer Mark Waid, on Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom and Daredevil, won him the 2013 Eisner Award for Best Penciler/Inker, shared with Hawkeye’s David Aja. Waid and Samnee continued their professional relationship on Black Widow.
