There were no Thor comics between DeFalco/Frenz and Avengers Disassembled.

I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Thomas More - A Man for All Seasons
Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
No idea what he is talking about. He must be delusional. Speaking in tongues perhaps?
Thomas? Hmmm. I would remember a good writer like that working on Thor, but no I am coming up blank. Perhaps it is time to revisit that hypnotherapist, I don't feel too good and I keep seeing a flashback of an eyeball.
I don't think Warren Ellis ever did a Thor run, but if he did, it certainly wouldn't be about a sudden relationship and a standard Ellis OC, revolving around a forgettable concept and a whatever villain, all portrayed in a rather fugly looking way. Such a thing is but a figment of my imagination, surely.

I have mixed feelings on that to be honest. For starters Ellis is an excellent writer. FreakAngels is great. On Thor he went for an odd angle. All that equating different visions of Thor and the weird machine Ragnarök idea, pretty much writing a writer stand-in / Constantine style figure, all very odd and all very 90s in a bad way.
I actually quite liked the full on 90s Deodato look though. His trippy Odin, his muscle bound Beta-Ray, his almost dominatrix Enchantress. All of those things I feel quite nostalgic about.
But then just after that we had... no I am feeling queasy again, why is there off-key Wagner playing in the distance?

It's a good thing that Ellis later went on to write X-force because that makes his Thor run not the worst marvel run he's written where the main character was given a horrible redesign and much of their actual personality, powers, and history was ignored so he could write a lot about a bitter, jaded, unshaven British man in a trenchcoat.
I don't care what anyone says the Jurgens run to me is in the top 5 all time runs in my eyes. It was epic and everything from 'The Death of Odin" until the end of the Lord of Earth storyline was gold.
