The Iron Man/Thor series on this page collects three volumes related to the crossover between the two Marvel characters, centred on the 2011 God Complex storyline written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Thor and Iron Man have been paired in crossover stories on several occasions, given the inherent contrast between their personalities and worldviews: Thor as a literal god and warrior from Asgard, Stark as a scientist and engineer who makes his own divinity through technology.
Thor/Iron Man (2011), Thor/Iron Man: God Complex, and God Complex (collecting the story from a different angle) all cover the same core storyline. The series was published during the period leading up to the first Thor and Avengers films, when Marvel was expanding its cosmic and Asgardian storylines in print. Abnett and Lanning’s work on this crossover draws on the same sensibility they brought to their Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy work, treating the mythological elements of Thor’s world seriously within the context of Marvel’s wider universe.
