Thor is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Journey into Mystery #83–85, then compare it with Thor #159 and Thor #364–366. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
