This is the compilation of , including the annual, all one-shots and specials, current and complete. Thor Volume 3 started with released July 5, 2007 with cover date September 2007 and the latest release is released December 23, 2009. It is marked first of all by the run of writer J. Michael Straczynski who, together with artists Olivier Coipel and Marko Durdjevic, essentially took a moribund Marvel title, rebooted it and gave it a power boost, to make it one of, if not the strongest and best, of all current Marvel titles. As a whole Volume 3 has received consistently rave reviews from critics and fans alike, including record sales. A case in point is that IGN's highbrow but uneven reviewers started to regularly cover the title and not only that, began to consistently bestow Thor with its Editor's Choice Awards, giving it ratings ranging from "Great" to "Incredible"; so much so that Thor has been nominated for the coveted Eisner Award. Another thing worhty of note is that Volume 3 is where Thor's 600th issue milestone occurred. After the first 12 issues, for the 600th issue the numbering reverted back to that of the original from Volume 1; hence, issues 600, 601 and so on. The long-awaited one-on-one confrontation between the God of Thunder and a vastly more powerful Dr. Doom starts in issue #605.

Volume 2 is an ongoing comics series that directly follow the events of , a crossover about the X-Men which ran from October 2007 to January 2008, published by Marvel Comics. The story is the climax of events that began with , which led to the decimation of mutants in the Marvel Universe and the middle chapter of a three-part saga, which continued in a seven-issue crossover with X-Force, . Reminiscent of the well-known Japanese manga Lone Wolf and Cub, the series follows X-Man and title character Cable, who is charged by Wolverine with the protection of the Messiah child, the first mutant born after the M-War, and their time travel adventures. The dangers of the future, highlighted by their pursuit by the mutant known as Lucas Bishop are balanced with the humor of "Cable the Soldier" becoming "Cable the Nanny." Issue #21, released December 16, 2009 starts the storyline that will lead into the next chapter in the Messiah trilogy.
