[QUOTE=DigiCom;4904990]So many choices...
But for me, it has to be the master-class in characterization that is this panel:

Back when Odin wasn't a pathetic strawman and was a badass deus Ex machina.

The moments of Surtur crafting Twilight was one (of so many) favourite highlight.
Simonson's Demon Lord of Muspelheim inspired many a salaciously impure thought.

[QUOTE=AnthonyO'Brien;4903889]What were your fave moments of Walt's run?
For me it was the all-splash page battle with Fing Fang Foom. It inspired an early issue of Savage Dragon.
and YOU?[/QUOTE]
The Epic Dragonball style fights between Thor (with Mejingjord) and Kurse + the legendary all-splash page duel between armored Thor and Jormungand.
Also Frog Thor, the story that shows that Thor is still a resourceful and determined hero with a dramatic speech pattern even when he gets stuck in the form of a frog. Aaron should have taken notes from that.

Walt Simonson's [B][I]The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill[/I][/B] is still an all-time favorite:

Oh yeah. It's a pity that the armor and the belt of strenght aren't used more often against particularly powerful foes. That would have made modern Thor less of a jobber.

His run made me wish Balder was in the movies.

I have still residual salt about the crappy way Thor's supporting cast were threated in the MCU.
