Prey: Part Two of Six
An
angry and possibly insane Donald Blake is in Asgard, determined to destroy everything
Odin has created. First he rips all the pages about Thor from the Book of Kings
then ponders activating the Destroyer before selecting Thor’s old axe
Jarnbjorn. He is then confronted by Sif, Volstagg, and Beta Ray Bill and
defeats them easily in combat. More warriors arrive, led by Hogun and Fandral,
and Blake smashes through them, having all of the powers and memories of Thor. He
slices off Sif’s thumb and claims her sword. With the sword he transports all the
Asgardians to Dimension Blood, a hellscape inhabited by giant flies….
Thor,
meanwhile, is trapped in the ruined remains of the idyllic small town in American
where Don Blake had been placed; there, Thor finds the gravely wounded Midgard Serpent
who confesses that he broke into this world to tell Blake he was merely
a pawn of Odin. But Blake found the Odin Force in himself and stole the Serpent’s
power and set forth to destroy everything Thor has ever loved….
In
New York City, a shaven and cleanly dressed Don Blake looks up Jane Foster….

Prey: Part Three of Six
Evil
Donald Blake is at a restaurant with Jane Foster, chatting about his “missing
years” and his bond with Thor. Jane detects something different about him and he
explains it away as Thor being somewhere far off (where he has been trapped by Blake,
which Blake is careful not to mention)….
Thor,
meanwhile, is trapped in the ruined remains of the idyllic small town in
American where Don Blake had been placed; he cries for help and in his
frustration hammers a giant chasm into the ground. He is approached by Ratatoskr,
the Chaos God who delivers messages among the Ten Realms via Yggdrasil; Thor
asks him to go for help. Ratatoskr tells him there is no one in Asgard….
All
of the Asgardians have been banished to Dimension Blood where the inhabitants
are trying to keep Volstagg fed. Sif checks in on Beta Ray Bill, who is prostrate
from guilt over not protecting Sif from the evil Blake’s rampage (last issue).
Bill then has the idea to send Lockjaw for help but Thori tells him the Inhuman’s
big dog is gone to help a friend….
At
the restaurant, Don Blake asks Jane about her own life, building up to finding
out where Odin is. When he mentions that she had been Thor, Blake freaks out, (imagining
he is) ripping her soul out of her body. He decides to leave, knowing she was
good to him and unable to face acting against her….
Jane
returns to the morgue to some news from Dr. Rudy Gillespie. A badly chewed up
body has been brought in and identified as Red Norvell, a former Thor. Jane dashes
into the bathroom to vomit, looks in the mirror and sees the symbol of her
impending death over her head….
Don
Blake, bearing Jarnbjorn, searches a swamp, seeking the next Thor to kill…and
he finds him, as Throg, the froggy version of the God of Thunder, warned by
Lockjaw, brings down the lightning on Don Blake….

Hammerfall: Part One of Two
Broxton,
Oklahoma: auto repairman Adam Aziz sees something fall from the sky and leave a
crater in the Earth. Checking it out, he finds Mjolnir; after a closer look, he
makes a phone call….
In
Asgard, Sif wants to know why Thor (speaking via Hugin the raven) threw Mjolnir
to Earth; he tells her it is an experiment and asks her to keep an eye out.
Thor then meets with Beta Ray Bill; the relationship is frosty because the last
time they met, Thor destroyed Bill’s hammer Stormbringer. Thor, recalling the
vision he had of his death (last issue), asks Bill for info about Thanos….

Iron Man arrives in Broxton with one question on his mind: how did Adam Aziz get his
private telephone number? Adam shows him: Mjolnir has written on it, “Call Tony
Stark. 212-970-4133.” Tony loses his temper; Thor sees it and laughs….
Bill
tells Thor all about how he killed Thanos and presumably is no longer a threat.
Thor confesses that something is wrong and he wants to know that, if the worst
happens, will Bill be his second-in-command? He explains something is radically
wrong with Mjolnir…
…as
Iron Man tries to calm the crowd telling everyone that no one can lift Thor’s
hammer. The message on Mjolnir changes to, “Pick it up.” While Shellhead is dealing
with crowd control, Adam picks up the hammer and is transformed into an armored
hero….

God of Hammers Part Three of Five
Amid
the ruins of Broxton, Oklahoma, a lightning being claiming to be Mjolnir hurls
the hammer of that name at Thor, knocking him miles away into a lake and
holding him down. Thor calls down lightning and evaporates the lake to prevent
his drowning. The Mjolnir Being reclaims the hammer while mocking Thor’s
intelligence and penchant for speeches. Thor creates a sword out of lightning and
rushes his foe, fist extended. Mjolnir raises the hammer and Thor’s arm breaks
against it. Mjolnir knows all of Thor’s weaknesses and goes in for a killing
blow…but the blow is halted by Odin’s spear. Odin signals to Sif who uses the
power of the Rainbow Bridge to send Mjolnir, Being and hammer, to the remotest
part of the universe. Yet the hammer is back within seconds; Odin pushes Thor
out of its path and he is hit in the back, breaking his spine. The Being has
returned too. Thor asks why it is doing this; Mjolnir complains that it has
always been misunderstood. The one worthy of Mjolnir is not someone noble or
true of heart but someone who wants to break and destroy. Mjolnir reveals that
when Jane Thor threw the hammer into the sun, it burned and fused with another
one who was there—Mangog, whose shape now manifests itself within the lightning
Being….

The Devourer King Part One: The Black Winter
Mjolnir,
trailing a rainbow, zooms through the Ten Realms announcing a new era of peace
under the rule of Thor the All-Father and ends up killing a giant monster
battling the Avengers in Manhattan. The hammer returns to Thor, standing on the
Rainbow Bridge with its new guardian Sif, and Thor discovers that Iron Man has
added the message, “Nice shot! Enjoy your retirement.” Sif reminds him that he
is king and must act as king so Thor reluctantly returns to his wooden throne. Volstagg
asks about the amount of ale at the feasts but Thor orders everyone out of the
throne room while he broods. Loki arrives to taunt Thor about having to give a
speech but Thor tells him to bow and then get out—but Loki notices Mjolnir
seems to be getting heavier for its bearer. Thor hurls the hammer and makes it
halt in midair inches from Loki’s face, due to Thor’s new powers….
On
the day of his inaugural speech to the people of Asgard, Thor mounts the balcony—and
then a wounded Galactus falls from the sky, crushing a multitude. Thor readies
to attack the newcomer but Galactus asks for help against “the Star Plague…the
great Black Winter” before passing out….
Yggdrasil
starts to die and Thor convenes a meeting of Heralds of Galactus to ask what
the Star Plague and Black Winter are. No one knows until the Silver Surfer (now
black) arrives to inform them that it is the end of all things. The Black
Winter was the end of the universe before theirs and only Galactus survived; he
has now seen it again and must face it but he needs to feed first and the
Surfer knows of five special planets that would empower Galactus beyond
imagination that he has hidden from his master. Silver Surfer volunteers to
guide Galactus on this mission and Thor chooses to go with them….
Later,
Thor puts on his battle gear and finds it heavier. He looks at Mjolnir and
erases the word “retirement” written by Tony Stark….
Thor
and his battalion accompany the Surfer to Galactus and the Herald explains the
plan; Galactus says no. He informs them that the Black Winter reveals the form
of one’s true death; he has looked at it twice: the first time he saw nothing;
the second more recent time…he saw Thor. And Galactus transforms Thor into the
Herald of Thunder, proposing they kill the Black Winter together and then sort
out their destinies….

Prey: Part Four of Six
Insane
Evil Donald Blake has gone to kill Throg but he’s not having an easy time of
it; the frog version of Thor, backed up by Lockjaw, has smacked Blake back into
present-day Earth where he crashes through a biology class where kids are
dissecting frogs. Blake uses Sif’s sword to teleport between various destinations,
forcing Throg and Lockjaw to hunt for him until they reach a prehistoric land.
There, Blake seizes Throg and swallows him whole and turns to face the Inhumans’
giant dog—then a tiny hammer comes smashing through Blake’s teeth, returns and
slams into his gut, forcing him to cough up Throg. The amphibious hero hammers Blake
between the eyes with Frogjolnir, knocking him out. Needing to interrogate him,
the animal heroes take him to see Doctor Strange….
At
that same moment, Jane Foster is also paying a call on Dr. Strange to learn if
he has any way of locating Thor; suddenly, a battered and bloody Throg is
hurled through the Sanctum Sanctorum’s window, followed by Lockjaw, and then she
sees Don Blake beating Strange. She turns into Valkyrie, which surprises Blake
and he teleports off. Strange, wounded, explains that he (Strange) stole some Asgardian
magic when he fought Loki and now Blake, who has absorbed the powers of every
Thor he’s killed, knows the source of that magic, which is…
…Yggdrasil
where Blake suddenly appears. He starts chopping into the World Tree with the
axe Jarnbjorn and its sap seeps into the lowest realms…
…where
the imprisoned Thor sees it and vows vengeance against Don Blake….
Val
summons Mister Horse, taking Throg and Lockjaw along to search for an ally whom
she discovers in an alien saloon: Odin, and demands he come back and set things
right….

Revelations: Part One of Three
A
celebration is held in Asgard after Thor’s defeat of the renegade Don Blake (last
issue) and all are feeling merry, except for Thor himself. As Volstagg recounts
the story of the final battle, he refers to the alternate Earth as a “fairy tale;”
Thor bitterly objects, saying that no one can imagine the suffering he went
through there. He apologizes and excuses himself. Returning to his room, Thor
tries to lift Mjolnir and it is a struggle. The hammer then jumps against his
chest, knocking him down and pinning him to the floor. Loki stops by and Thor
must appeal to him to lift Mjolnir, which Loki does, easily. Thor then goes to
Midgard….
On
Earth, the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther, She-Hulk,
Captain Marvel, Blade, Ghost Rider) are battling a horde of alien
cyber-monsters. Thor arrives and wishes to speak to Cap, not noticing that the
Avengers are rather busy. Cap points this out so Thor calls down a lightning
strike, frying the monsters instantly. Iron Man tries to put a friendly hand on
Thor’s shoulder but the Thunder God discourages it with a small bolt of
lightning. Cap objects to this and Mjolnir fires at him with Cap’s shield
protecting him. Thor explains that he is losing control over Mjolnir and needs
to talk to Cap….
At
Avengers Mountain, Thor explains to Cap that, as an immortal, his time sense is
much different from that of mortals: all of his actions go by as seconds, with
momentous events from a human standpoint being quickly forgotten. And he feels
he knows why Mjolnir no longer obeys him: Odin created it to be wielded by a
warrior and as King, Thor is no longer a warrior and thus no longer wielder of
the hammer. And he walks out, leaving Mjolnir behind….

Odin
has abandoned the throne of Asgard and taken to getting drunk over the trauma
of losing his wife Freyja. Valkyrie (Jane Foster) has tracked him to an alien bar
where she tries to bash sense into his head. She brings him up to date on the
return of the mad Donald Blake and his deadly attacks on all who bear the
powers of Asgard. Sobered, Odin agrees to come….
In
Dimension Blood, the exiled Asgardians are preparing for a return to their home
and Beta Ray Bill is stockpiling weapons, though Sif is less optimistic about
their chances. Then Doctor Strange arrives, with Throg, Lockjaw, and his
ghostly Basset Hound Bats. He plans to get the Asgardians out of there but he
needs the help of a snarky Loki to do it….
The
mad Donald Blake is chopping away at the roots of the World Tree, absorbing its
power when he is interrupted by Throg—who is leading all the newly freed forces
of Asgard. Sneering, Blake gets ready to take them all on, when he is clobbered
from behind by Odin, fully armored for battle. Odin points out something Blake
hadn’t thought of: where is all the blood from the World Tree spilling to? We
learn it’s going below where the imprisoned Thor is absorbing all of its power
and a bolt of Thor-power lights up the entire Tree. Thor summons his ravens,
Hugin and Munin, to rescue him. While they can’t remove his body, they can take
his soul and move it to a suitable vessel and Thor knows which one to choose.
So the enraged Don Blake is screaming at Odin when Thor arrives to take care of
him—as the Destroyer….

God of Hammers Part Four of Five
Sensing
that Thor is in trouble, Beta Ray Bill sends out a summons to all of Thor’s
allies and friends to come to his rescue….
In
Broxton, Thor snaps his broken arm back into place and binds it in cloth. The
God of Thunder then addresses the living Mjolnir, offering to beat the demonic
Mangog out of it. But Mjolnir isn’t possessed but intertwined, giving the
hammer a voice for the first time. The monster splits the ground and Thor must
save the injured Odin from falling into a crevasse. He calls for Sif but a
portal opens up and a variety of heroes emerge to back Thor: Doctor Strange,
Thing, Wolverine, Angela, Throg, Lockjaw, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Reed Richards, and many more. Mjolnir repels them with a blast. The heroes’ attacks
do not affect the monster. Thor prays to his mother to give him her power to
protect those in need and to save his father. She grants the request and a massive
tornado surrounds Thor and Mjolnir, pushing the others back to safety. Freyja
reminds everyone that Thor’s mother is Gaia and she is pretty powerful….
Inside
the storm, Mjolnir is proud of Thor’s willingness to put others before himself.
Mjolnir explains that she was the Mother Storm which Odin trapped in the
hammer; once united with Mangog, she learned the gods need a reckoning for their
misdeeds. So they are setting Odin’s toys free—including Don Blake, trapped in
the false world. Thor uses his increased powers to trap the Mjolnir spirit in
stone. While she tries to break out, Odin apologizes to Thor for all of his wrongdoing
but acknowledges Thor to be the greatest thing he ever made. Odin also reveals
that he could never give all of the Odin-force away while he lived. Odin burns himself
into nothing and the Mjolnir/Mangog being stands beholding the new all-powerful
Thor….

World Tree where he walks the streets and greets his neighbors but never
notices that his life isn’t real….
In
his throne room, All-Father Thor reveals to Loki that he is planning to bring
back Don Blake so he can have a place to rest when the duties of being king
rest heavily on him. Loki knows he’s lying, that Thor wants to enter the Eldersleep
where he can commune with the spirits of the old dead kings to solve the riddle
of why anyone can pick up Mjolnir now, including Loki. But when Thor is in the
Eldersleep, Don Blake will be in the real world and Thor wants Loki to protect
him during that time. So, Thor thumps his hammer on the ground and is
transported among the elder kings, who react to him guiltily, as though they
know what is going to happen next and couldn’t prevent it. Thor drops into the

the corpse of a dragon lying over it all—Don woke up and realized he had been
imprisoned here by Thor and went insane, calling for his alter ego…

Mythos
The World Tree is conquered, along with the Ten Realms;
observing this has blinded the guardian Sif, who can only utter the word, “Mythos.”
Thor, the All-Father, takes off for Midgard. He lands in a desolate New York City
and can detect the presence of none of his friends or allies. At the center of
the city sits a ziggurat made of the regathered shards of the Rainbow Bridge. He
calls on the master of this realm to show himself and he does: it is MODOK in a
giant robotic body, now calling himself M.Y.T.H.O.S. Seizing the power of the
World Tree has enabled him to conquer the Ten Realms and banish all heroes from
Midgard. Thor attacks him but Mjolnir does no harm; MYTHOS responds with a
power blast that hurls Thor back a great distance. With retreat seeming the best
option, Thor wanders the streets and comes across a young man trying to protect
others from a knife-wielding thief. Recognizing the young man as Peter Parker, Thor
drives off the thief and discovers that Peter does not know him. Peter lays out
the situation for him: MYTHOS has turned the world into his own dystopia;
pleb-people serve the Master and anyone who does a really good job is promoted
to serve in the palace. Peter tells Thor, “The battles you can’t win are the
most important to fight.” Thor takes heart from this and returns to battle
MYTHOS, hitting him then being blasted and returning over and over again.
Finally, Thor is able to tear the monster’s arm off and hit him in the face
with it. Thor then strikes the ground with Mjolnir and the Ten Realms return to
normal. Thor returns to Asgard and tells Sif of the punishment he, as
All-Father, has meted out to MODOK: he has placed him in a room with a mirror
that he may begin to look inward and find answers. Thor has already found his.
“Would You Know More?”Writer: Al Ewing. Art: Martin Coccolo. Colors: Matthrew
Wilson. Letters: Joe Sabino.Synopsis: Thor goes out to greet Sif as she stands guard over
the broken Rainbow Bridge. She is surprised to see him wearing this old outfit.
It is to remind people that though he is now All-Father, he remains Thor. He
uses the power of the All-Father to reforge Mjolnir, making as good as new.
Thor is pleased…
…but we see a vision of Thor, battered and bleeding, wielding
Mjolnir in his right hand, a battle axe in his left, and looking defiant….

The Accursed, Part Four of Five: I, Thor… Condemn Thee to Die
Thor is raging to attack the Dark Elf conqueror Malekith but the villain is standing just on the other side of the Frost Giants’ border, accompanied by his new allies. The other members of the League of Realms restrain the Thunder God from attacking as it would lead to war with the Frost Giants. A bitter Thor calls down lighting to dig the grave of their fallen comrade Oggy….
Next the League goes to Vanaheim where they find the Dark Elf refugees dead, killed by tribal infighting. Thor reveals that there must be a traitor in their midst to explain how the enemy always seems to be one step ahead of them. Most of the league members suspect Wazira the Dark Elf witch but Thor accuses Ud the Troll. By his own authority he judges Ud guilty and executes him with a blow of his hammer (while Malekith watches unseen). He then dissolves the League and the men go home. Thor enlists Wazira in his plan so they head to Midgard, a butcher shop in New York to be precise. The place is secretly a guard station for the Dark Elf tribal council. Thor addresses the tribal leaders to try to persuade them to work together against the common enemy but they reject his proposal. Thor then accuses Wazira of being the traitor but she responds with a spell that forces a grisly parasite out of his mouth, revealing that the Thunder God was the unwitting villain all along. Then Malekith walks in….

The Accursed, Part Three of Five: Bury My Heart in Jotunheim
The idyllic fantasy land of Alfheim is disturbed by the battle between Thor and his League of Realms and the forces of Malekith, come to punish the refugee Dark Elves. The pixies and fairies join in the fight too in their own comical way, force-feeding vegetables and fruits to the captive enemy. Thor comes to appreciate the battle prowess of Dark Elf Lady Wazira but the League is still splintered among the members, Light Elf, Troll, Dwarf and Giant. Thor has a solution to unify his team: a visit to a tavern where he challenges the giant Oggy to a drinking contest; the competition serves as a male bonding ritual. Later Wazira finds Thor commiserating with Mjolnir about his fear of his father and his doubt that he has what it takes to hold the League together. She talks with him and he explains the bonding ritual but he has something else in mind for her: he sweeps her into his arms and kisses her. This is witnessed by a Dark Elf servant girl with a sinister smile….
Next the Dark Elf refugees among the giants of Jotunheim are attacked by Malekith and his forces but the League arrives to do battle. The giants stand back to watch the conflict with only Oggy of the League joining in with his massive arrows. Malekith leaps down his throat and slays him from inside, with his last (and only) words being "I wasn’t done listening yet." The villain cuts his way out of Oggy’s skull to confront his opponents.

The God Butcher, Part Three of Five: The Hall of the Lost
Thor visits Omnipotence City, the nexus of all the gods, a neutral ground where pantheons meet and make treaties, marry, stand trial, and appear before the ruling Pantheon of the Gods. Thor heads to the Halls of All-Knowing where the snide and disdainful librarian shows him to the Hall of the Lost, a wing dedicated to all "inactive" gods. Unable to believe the great number of them have been murdered by Gorr the God Butcher, Thor takes down several random names and visits those gods’ worlds. On each he discovers the deity dead, slaughtered, and one of Gorr’s eyeless Black Berserkers standing guard. He kills each monster in turn and moves on, reaching the Galactic Frontier, where he discovers the corpse of the giant saurian Falligar the Behemoth, a god Thor knew and liked. Blaming himself for all that has happened as he left Gorr alive at their first confrontation, Thor rips the head off the Berserker and challenges Gorr to final battle….
A.D. 893: Thor awakens after his near-deadly confrontation with the God Butcher (last issue). He strides out into the snow to track the monster to his cave. On his way, he encounters the partially dismembered Hinkon, Siberian God of the Hunt. The Thunder God promises no mercy for the enemy//now in the present, Thor enlists the aid of Iron Man to locate Gorr’s cave once again. When Tony, startled by his companion’s unnerved expression, offers the aid of the Avengers, Thor rudely rebuffs him, but has second thoughts about the decision. Realizing it was his foolish pride which led him to face Gorr alone, he explains the situation to Tony and dispatches him to Olympus to warn the Greek gods. Thor slowly enters the cavern where he learned the true depths of his enemy’s horror and nearly died at his hands. He calls on the All-Mother Freyja to gather the Aesir to the safety of Asgard and leaps at the shadowy figure lurking in the dark….
In the past, young Thor entered the same cave, issuing a challenge to the God Butcher. Gorr vows to kill Thor slowly to avenge his wounding of the villain, a suffering which will last to the very end of time//a violent battle which we see the aged Thor engaged in at a far future time….
….the present Thor seizes his opponent and discovers he is not Gorr but a green amphibian god, hiding in the cave as it is the one place Gorr will never look for him. This strange god tells Thor that everything the God Butcher is doing is because of what Thor did to him in this cave; gods are dying because of Thor//young Thor falls beneath his enemy’s onslaught//old Thor is overwhelmed by his opponents, the Black Berserkers….

Godbomb, Part Two of Five: God in Chains
As Avenger Thor and King Thor are on their way to the lair of Gorr the God Butcher in the fabled ship Skithbladnir, Young Thor is a slave on that world. Along with captive gods of many other pantheons, he is forced to haul rocks. He attempts to rebel but is quickly informed by a trio of lovely young goddesses that any attempt at revolt results in Gorr crucifying another god. They tell the brash new captive to shut his mouth and remember that he is no longer a god but a slave. At this point, the reader is informed that these women are Atli, Ellisiv, and Frigg Wodensdottir—Thor’s own grandchildren….
Thor spies the Godbomb, and Gorr’s young son proudly explains his father’s goal of eradicating all gods from the universe and becoming the greatest redeemer in the universe. The arrogant kid walks off as Thor tries to point out the obvious: that Gorr himself is now a god….
On a day of rest, the slaves meet to plan their only chance at rebellion. The ringleaders (Thor’s granddaughters) have calculated that the Godbomb sill be completed in only three more days, thus now is their only chance. They have assembled an explosive out of stolen materials and now need only a volunteer for the suicide mission. At this, Young Thor steps forward to offer his services, boasting of his identity as the favorite son of Odin (and surprising his granddaughters). They are skeptical but as they outline the scheme to sabotage the Godbomb, they turn and find that Thor has already snatched up their explosive and headed out on his mission. As he rushes past the Black Berserkers, some of his powers return and a thunderstorm surrounds hm (finally confirming his identity to the Wodendsdottirs) and he hurls the small bomb at the larger one and there is an explosion….
In space King Thor and Avenger Thor have seen the thunderstorm and are heading to the planet when they are surrounded by starsharks. Then they are assaulted by an invader who is revealed to be Young Thor, blown clear out to space by the explosion—but the Godbomb is untouched. The newcomer Thor gears up for battle, ready to join his two other selves for the invasion of Gorr’s world. "Now we let the hammers talk."

The present: Thor returns from three weeks away (participating in the Infinity mega-event) and finds his beloved Broxton has changed: Roxxon has moved their flying factories in to pollute the air and has bought up the entire town. SHIELD Agent Roz Solomon warns him not to do anything rash; instead he heads directly to Roxxon Island, Roz following behind in a SHIELD flying car. Thor confronts Roxxon boss Dario "The Minotaur" Agger and defeats his army. Roz stops him from further havoc while Agger pretends his actions were purely for the good of Broxton. Thor offers to buy the town or to fight for it. At that, Agger’s lawyers enter and serve papers notifying that they are suing Thor for the damages done to Roxxon property (here and in the previous issue) and will file restraining orders to keep him at bay. Thor is outraged—but apparently helpless…
The far future: Galactus unleashes a massive power bolt at Thor…..

The God Butcher, Part Five of Five: Dream of a Godless Age
At the Palace of Infinity on Chronux, Gorr the God Butcher descends into the pool of the blood of the slaughtered Time Gods in order to travel to the distant past. There he witnesses the birth of the universe, and unlike everything he was taught as a child he discovers that all is the creation of a mad godling creating life as a plaything. Disgusted with this origin and aware that future generations will wrongly attribute the mysteries of creation to their own allegedly wise and caring gods, he determines to destroy all gods in the universe. He returns to Chronux with the still-warm heart of the slain godling, with plans to build a stronghold—when Thor arrives and attacks him….
In 893 AD, Thor is prisoner in the cave of the God Butcher and withstands seventeen days of torture but will still not reveal the location of Asgard. Thor’s Viking followers have discovered the cave by now and enter to rescue their god. Despite Gorr’s insistence they are fools for serving a god, the Vikings fight on, giving Thor the time to escape from his chains and deliver a crushing blow to his tormentor. His followers hail him as a hero and promise to remember the battle in song but the God of Thunder tells them to never speak of this day again….
On Chronux, Thor fights his way through a horde of Black Berserkers but is captured and held fast; Gorr reveals two lessons learned that day many centuries ago: one, that mortal fear a godless world, and two, that Gorr could not accomplish his mission alone, hence the creation of the Berserkers. He thanks Thor for showing him a better path to his goal, and now he slays the last Time God to power the Time Pool and he immerses himself in the blood and vanishes into the future. Thor fights off the Berserkers and pursues him into the pool…
…emerging in the far future where he meets himself and mistakes him for Odin. The two Thors plow through a massive horde of Black Berserkers and the aged Thunder God reveals to his younger self that Gorr had arrived in this period 900 years earlier….
Now, his plans complete, Gorr the God Butcher looks forward to the day all his dreams come true….

The Dark Elf Queen Alfyse and her court take refuge with the dwarves in Nidavellir, leading to some cultural squabbles. Meanwhile, the Dark Elf champion Sir Wormsong is facing Malekith in a sword duel on fallen tree bridging a pit full of ravening wild dogs. Wormsong is the more accomplished swordsman but Malekith is the greater sorcerer so he slices the log in two, dropping his opponent among the beasts while he hovers in the air—and laughs…..
In Asgardia, Thor is ready to lead his warriors against the when he is halted by All-Mother Freyja and Volstagg. They tell him that a force of solely Asgardian warriors would be seen as an illegal incursion; as a result Thor will lead the League of Realms, a force made up of a representative from each of the races in the Nine Worlds. They are Sir Ivory Honeyshot of the Light Elves, Screwbeard of the Dwarves, Oggmunder of the Mountain Giants, and Ud the Troll. They are joined by Lady Waziria of the Dark Elves (the woman whose arm was cut off by Malekith last issue); she uses sorcery to weld a tree branch on as a replacement for her lost limb and insists on joining the team. Queen Alfyse has requested their protection. The League heads to Nidavellir and Thor breaks down the gate to discover that the Dark Elves are already inside. Malekith stabs Thor in the back and the fight is on. The two elven heroes battle bravely while the Troll declines to fight anyone but Malekith, the giant does what he can by reaching through the window, and the Dwarf searches for explosives. Soon the place goes up in a massive explosion and Malekith is seen to have escaped. A search turns up the headless corpses of the Queen and her entourage. Disgust leads the warriors to threaten to split up and go off to battle alone but Thor holds them to their oath: "We ride until Malekith is dead. Or we are."

What the Gods Have Wrought
On a desolate world 3000 years ago, a boy named Gorr is taught by his mother to honor the gods and trust in their blessings—up until the day she is killed by sand tigers….
Years later, Gorr is unable to provide for his pregnant wife as they whole tribe is starving and must soon leave the caves; she counsels him to trust that the gods will provide—and then she dies in a sudden rockslide….
Months later as the tribe treks across the desert in search of a new home, Gorr’s only son Agar dies in his arms; Gorr buries him and incurs the wrath of the tribe’s leader for not placing the boy’s body in the trees as the gods have prescribed. Gorr lashes out in anger and proclaims there are no gods, their promised blessings have never materialized and all they do is continue to suffer. The tribe stones the blasphemer and drives him out into the desolation…. As the outcast struggles across the desert he sees a bright light fall from the sky and crash some distance away; he goes to investigate and finds two armored men—one in gold and one in black—locked in a death struggle. The gold one pleads for help and Gorr, taking them for the useless gods of his childhood, flies into a rage and a serpentine black substance possesses him, providing him a sharp weapon with which to butcher his first gods. From that day forth he determined to search for more gods to kill…
Centuries later, he has had the Norse god Volstagg a slave for five hundred years to build his base for his grand work. Now he is tormenting Volstagg for stealing a loaf of bread from Gorr while hungry. The brutal Gorr whips him mercilessly and the Norse god points out that even if he slays all the gods in creation, there will still be one god left—Gorr himself. The angry Gorr has Volstagg crucified and meets his young son, assuring him all the bad gods will be gone soon….

GodBomb, Part One: Where Gods Go to Die
A.D. 893: after a night of sport with a pair of shieldmaidens, Thor is awakened by the voice of Gorr the God Butcher. Realizing his foe is still alive, the brash young Thunder God is attacked by the living shadows of the night and hurled out into the snow. A Black Berserker hurls a violet crystal at him and Thor is transported to a glowing purple lake where Gorr welcomes him to the place where gods go to die. A huge black arm seizes him and drags him to the future where he is tortured and enslaved by the sadistic God Butcher….
The present day Thor arrives in the far future Asgard where he is met by the aged Thor (whom he mistakes at first for Odin); the future Thor explains that he is the sole survivor of the attacks of the God Butcher and is now All-Father. Now that the 900-year siege by Gorr’s Black Berserkers has been lifted, the two Thors prepare for battle, with the younger hero being directed to Odin’s mead stores for some fortifying power. Old Thor reveals that all the other Aesir have been enslaved by the God Butcher and now, with the arrival of his young counterpart, the aged god is revitalized for the coming battle. They board the magic ship Skithbladnir to sail across the cosmic seas….
In Omnipotence City, the Nexus of all the Gods, the God of the Watch scolds the Librarian for permitting his domain to be invaded by Gorr’s minions (issue #4) but otherwise knows nothing of the fate of Thor. The Librarian questions Shadrak, the defeated amphibian god rescued by Thor in issue #3, and the poor deity lets slip that he was forced to aid Gorr in his wicked schemes. Incessant interrogation by the angry Librarian soon compels the evasive Shadrak to confess that he is the God of ...Bombs.
Captive young Thor arrives at Gorr’s lair to see a massive spherical weapon: the GodBomb….

In Asgard of the far future, the three granddaughters of King Thor follow his advice to spend some time reading in the library. Ellisiv picks up a book and starts reading aloud…
In Svartalfheim, young Malekith is the last child left to old Lady Mazerot after his twelve older brothers have died in the wars, just like their father and his twelve older brothers before. So that he will not die in war, his mother sells him to the undertaker elves in exchange for a supply of food for her dogs. The boy becomes a corpse-burner on the battlefield where he disposes of the dead and not-quite-dead alike. Sometime later he is cast into a dungeon with a wizard who escapes with him and makes Malekith his apprentice. Later the wizard reveals his hopes and plans that Malekith will bring an end to war—for which the young mage kills him, reasoning that an end to war will mean a loss of his identity. The dying master strikes Malekith with a bolt that turns half his face black. Malekith returns to his mother and turns her vicious hounds against her….
As Ellisiv reaches the part about the War of the Realms, a thunderclap from Thor warns them to look elsewhere for diversion….

The God Butcher, Part Four of Five: The Last God in Asgard
In the far future, the aged Thor has been overwhelmed and captured by the Black Berserkers of Gorr the God Butcher. As they carry him off he broods over being the last surviving god of the ruined Asgard, having lived long enough to see everyone he knows die. The Berserkers place him on his throne and…leave. Demanding an end to his life, Thor calls on them to return and kill him….
In the present, Thor speaks with Shadrak, the refugee god he found in Gorr’s cave. The alien god relates how Gorr made him watch as he butchered all of Shadrak’s family and friends. Escaping, he came to this cave, knowing Gorr would never come there, the site of his defeat by Thor, which is why he’s saving the Thunder God for last. Thor demands all the information his host can supply but Shadrak refuses, letting slip only the word "Chronux." Thor guarantees his protection and carries the unwilling god off to Omnipotence City, the nexus of all the gods. There they find the Black Berserkers on a rampage, torching the library….
493 A.D.: Gorr the God Butcher has Thor chained in his cave, torturing him for information on all of his pantheon, relishing the entertainment the Thunder God will give him….
Thor battles the Berserkers in the burning Hall while seeking information about Chronux from the Librarian, who tells him Chronux is a hidden world—and the location is found in a scroll that is in flames. The hero snatches the book from the fire and manages to find the planet’s location before it crumbles in his hands. Leaving Shadrak to help put out the fire, Thor heads for Chronux, Palace of Infinity. Meanwhile on that world, Gorr and his Berserkers have already slain all but one of the Time Gods and have poured their blood into the Pool of Forevers, as the God Butcher intends to travel to the distant past….
In the future, elderly Thor drags himself out of the palace to confront his enemies, summoning Mjolnir to him and striking out. He is stabbed in the back by one of the Berserkers. As he lies helpless, calling on Gorr to finish him already, there is a blinding flash—and a younger Thor stands among them….

The Dragon of Dolgellau
An
American travel writer is stranded aboard a train in Wales by a sudden
snowstorm. A local man tells him the country was originally called Gwynedd and
offers to tell him a story:
Rhodri
of Gwynedd stole the wife of a Norseman who came with his army to take her
back. There was a skirmish but the Welsh men appealed to the Red Dragon of
Dolgellau, Y Ddraig Goch. They supplied him with four young women as a
sacrifice, asking him to fight for their people. So the Dragon ate the
sacrifices and flew out to slaughter the Norsemen. They were all killed but one
managed to send a prayer to his gods before he died….
And
so, the Norse gods arrived: Thor, Odin, Vidar, Balder, Heimdall, Hermod, and
Agnar the Fierce. There is a battle occupying half the issue, ending with the
Dragon defeated. But Odin stops Thor from killing such a cunning and mighty
foe. Odin exacts a promise: the Dragon will stop requiring blood sacrifices and
have Rhodri return the woman he stole….
The
local man reaches his stop and gets up to leave. The American wants to know
what happened next. The local says that Rhodri tasted better than the women.
Stunned, the American rushes after him but only sees the dragon flying off into
the distance….

Ask Me Tomorrow
A
Roman Catholic priest lies in his bed, dying. Thor enters through his window,
bringing a drug to ease his pain. The old man didn’t think Thor would come and
he has been waiting four years for an answer Thor promised….
Four
years ago, New York City was invaded by demonic creatures Thor identified as
Bitumen Elves and the Avengers and Fantastic Four were teamed up against them.
After a skirmish, Thor was warned that the monsters were converging on his
location, suggesting he retreat. But there were people in danger so Thor stood
his ground and defeated all of the enemy. After the battle, Thor prepared to
return to Asgard but he was interrupted by the priest who had a question. He
believes and teaches that there is one God and one Messiah so what does he tell
his parishioners when they ask who Thor is? Thor promised to return to that
spot in one year with an answer and then he left….
One
year later, Thor did not appear. He confided in Sif that he did not know what
to say. Sif suggested he tell the priest just that….
Two
years later, Thor met the priest in his church; the priest confessed his faith
was shaken. Thor promised that he would search for an answer and bring it to
him before he died….
And
now the priest lies dying and wants to know if everything he believes is true
but more specifically, who is Thor and why is he there? Thor tries a story
about the loss of belief in magic which does not satisfy the priest. Thor
confesses that the question forced him to examine his own beliefs…the priest
was sent to test Thor’s faith not vice versa. The only answer Thor can give is
“Ask me tomorrow.” Thor sits with the priest until he dies; he closes the man’s
eyes then speaks a prayer in Latin and a Bible quote….

Blowing in the Wind
On
a rainy night, Thor arrives at a building. Police fill him in on the situation:
Wayne Markley, the villain known as Fusion, has filled an auditorium with
explosives and he is holding fifty hostages, threatening to blow them all to
kingdom come. And Markley has asked for Thor. So Thor goes to see the bad guy
to find out what it is he wants. Markley says he is going to ask a question and
Thor’s answer will determine whether the hostages, and Markley, live or die.
The question: Two years earlier, Markley’s five-year-old son jumped off a roof
to his death so Thor, “Will you bring him back?” A long hush as everyone holds
their breath, then, “I cannot.” The Thunder God claims it may result in more
harm than good, offering to show Markley the two sides to every question….
In
a vision, Thor shows Markley a possible future fifty years in the future of New
York as a flooded wasteland, caused by humanity’s neglect and abuse of the
environment. As Markley’s question was about the interference of Asgard in
human affairs, Thor tells him that the gods are not there to help or stop
mankind and goes on to describe several measures mankind can take to prevent
the future disaster which would result in a sustainable future. Thor’s
conclusion is that humanity’s future lies in the hands of mortals, not gods. Markley
is unsatisfied as Thor has not told him why he cannot bring his son back. So
Thor reveals the secret: if the gods interfered every time mankind stumbled,
humans would become puppets. If Thor gave people what they want, it would not
be what they need as it would erase free will. Markley orders all of the
hostages out. He then asks if Thor is going to stop him; Thor tells him he does
not have to die. Markley says he cannot forgive himself—and detonates the
bombs.

The Day Before Winter
Tyr
and Vidar stand on the battlements of Asgard, watching an invading army led by
a frost giant approaching the gates and wondering if this is Ragnarök. At the
main gates, Hildegarde and others prepare for battle as the ram batters the
gate. Thor persuades the Winter God who guards the imprisoned Loki to allow him
access to the prisoner. Thor frees Loki and asks him if this is Ragnarök. Loki
says no because then he would be leading it. Thor thinks Loki is lying and
beats him to force him to tell the truth, even holding his head underwater.
Loki suggests that Thor is angry not because Loki is lying but because Loki
claims that the fall of Asgard will have a beneficial outcome….
Odin
summons Tiki, God of Stone, Asgard’s architect, to ask about a fissure
spreading through the city. Tikis says it will split Asgard and nothing can
stop it….
Thor
insists that no good can come of Asgard’s fall just as no good can come of
Loki’s lies. Loki then rattles off several scenarios in which good does come
from lies, many being to avoid hurting feelings, or as a strategy in war, or to
protect someone, even noting that Thor’s claims to love Loki are lies.
Everything has a purpose….
As
the city continues to split in two, Thor ties Loki between two pillars
straddling the fissure. Loki tells Thor he is just lying to himself. Thor goes
outside and examines the fissure, finding a small plant growing within….

Introduces the basic elements of Norse myth: the good gods known as the Aesir and their enemies the Frost Giants. Their home Asgard was bounded on the south by fire where dwells Surtur the demon of fire and on the north by the land of mist. Beneath it all lay the Well of Life from which emerged the first life: Ymir, the greatest of the Frost Giants. Seconds later a magic cow appeared to provide food for Ymir. Then there came from the ice Buri the first of the Aesir. He had a son Borr, who fathered three sons, the greatest of whom was Odin. Odin and his brothers took an interest in Earth, set a ring around it and there grew Yggdrasil to protect the new world.

Beta Ray Bill is hanging out with Sif in Asgard when they discover a huge rock
surrounded by dead birds and mice. Bill touches it and part of his life force
is drained, nearly killing him. Sif conjures a vision of the past and finds
that the rock was once a troll, caught by a boyish Thor stealing a cow from
Odin’s herd. Thor led the troll on a chase until the sun rose, turning the
troll to stone as he now is. But Thrudd the troll isn’t dead, merely draining
strength from living things to regain life and power. Sif places Stormbreaker
in Bill’s hand and he recovers and smashes the rock into smaller pieces. On
their way back to Asgard, they are met by Odin, who senses that Bill is
worried. Bill reveals that he is concerned that he will come to love Asgard so
much that he will abandon his duty to his people. Odin gives him an apple and
encouragement and ponders reassembling Thrudd to give him another chance.

Where Walk the Frost Giants
An Asgardian warrior named Skarsgard is
killed on a mission against the Frost Giants, sent by Tyr, left in
charge of the realm by Odin. Thor questions Tyr's decision that cost
a warrior his life and comforts his son Kallum, promising him that he
will be a fine warrior someday. Thor then blows off a strategy
meeting to go avenge his death. Missing him, the Warriors Three head
off in pursuit....
Thor reaches the borders of Niffleheim
and discovers a huge frost-generating engine spreading snow towards
Asgard. Thor engages the Frost Giants in battle, backed up by his
warrior buddies who arrive soon after. The Giants blow the heroes
into a glacier and take them prisoner. Frost Giant King Ymir sends a
message to Tyr, informing him that Thor is a captive who will be
killed unless Tyr surrenders....
But it turns out that young Kallum
stowed away in Volstagg's saddlebag and he is small enough to slip
through the bars of the dungeon and he frees Thor and the others.
While the Warriors Three face the Giant army, Thor (with Kallum) sets
out to destroy the frost machine. Thor ends up facing Ymir himself
and Kallum is wounded but the arrival of a shower of fireballs
announces the arrival of Tyr and the army of Asgard. The baddies are
routed, the machine is destroyed, and both Thor and Tyr learn some
sort of lesson. Happy ending.

Chasing your own tail
Crossover continuing from AVENGERS (1998) #32.Black Widow sneaks into the Thunderbolts HQ in Mount Charteris. She happens to look into 1 bedroom which she deduces from its starkness is Moonstone's. But she also happens to spot a miniature surveillance camera which she crushes, and wonders if Hawkeye knows his base is bugged. We see the team's techie Ogre detecting the bug dying and initiating an internal security sweep.Next she overhears Charcoal (Charlie Burlingame) complaining to Songbird (Melissa Gold) about Hawkeye dedicating too much effort trying to find the missing Moonstone (Karla Sofen) instead of finding out who killed Jolt (Hallie Takahama). Melissa repeats Clint Barton's argument that Karla may need their help. Natasha Romanoff vaguely senses the cloaked figure of Scourge watching her, who's been stalking the corridors undetected for several issues and who we've been given hints is the killer they're talking about.Widow is searching for something as she reaches a lab where Clint is talking to Ogre and 1 other. Ogre she recognises as a leftover from the mutant villain group Factor Three who built this base a long time ago (original X-Men #28-39). The other must be a new Mach-2. She has a flash of memory of when she and Clint were an item (starting in Hawkeye's 1st app Tales Of Suspense #57). Mach-2 is complaining about not being able to track Atlas after his fight with Wonder Man last issue. Ogre says his ionic emissions have been dampened and he wrecked his communicator in #41. (Neither they nor BW know that the pair turned up with Count Nefaria at the end of Av#32.)Clint's still more worried about Karla (but that's maybe because *they* are now an item). (We see her looking down on the Fantastic Four's Pier Four HQ.) She never opened up about herself to him. He doesn't know why she's been troubled lately, or why she ran away in #41. He doesn't even know how she got her powers or how they work.Black Widow's initial plan was to get what she wanted without anyone noticing. But now she decides to just drop in (literally) on them and ask for their help in return for info on their Atlas problem. Ogre of course wants to know how she got in undetected but Hawkeye's just happy to see her.She fills them in on stuff from Av#31-32. Back before the Onslaught event a robot called Benedict abducted honorary Avenger Masque (who seemed very similar to Madame Masque) and in return gave Avengers' leader BW a data disc containing info on all the Maggia families (except MM's Las Vegas operation). Now the team got involved in a battle between the Maggia and Grim Reaper. But then she follows on with stuff we don't know about. She went after Cyclone of the European Maggia. He escaped but she got the information she was after - the Maggia were trying to find out about the previous Baron Zemo's ionic experiments that created Wonder Man and the original Power Man (now Atlas). (I didn't think the Maggia families were working together to do *anything*.) She's hoping that Zemo's successor, the TBolts old leader, inherited his father's papers.Mach-2 explains that all Zemo's stuff blew up with Four Freedoms Plaza (the FF's previous base which the 'Bolts occupied while the FF were away in the Heroes Reborn universe). But then he realises he might be giving away the secret that he's Mach-1 (Abe Jenkins) who's been given a new identity, Matthew Davis, by the Government (and a new African-American face by Ogre).Ogre suggests the info might still be in earlier-Zemo's Central American castle. He can combine what Erik Josten (Atlas) told him with the V-Battalion's account of Citizen V (Dallas Riordan)'s adventure there in the 1998 Captain America/CV Annual and a set of ionic energy traces he's spotted while looking for Atlas, and use all that to locate it. (But actually he can do it because we know that Ogre has secretly been replaced by ex-team member Techno, and apparently he built Zemo's place.) And when he does the team will accompany BW there.Mach-2 goes to tell Charcoal and Songbird about their new mission. Charlie is angry at yet another distraction from finding the killer of his friend Hallie. Ogre is left alone to work, but Scourge is watching him and we get a replay of his thoughts from last issue - he's supposed to kill the team in a specific order and Techno is next, but doing that would also switch off the life-support of 3 people hidden in the basement. Tasha accompanies Clint to his quarters where he changes into a new variation of his Hawkeye uniform that apparently Ogre has rustled up - the major difference being a belt-buckle with the team's lightning bolt insignia. Clint says he's happy leading the 'Bolts. Tasha intuits that he's also got a new girlfriend and assumes it's Melissa, but is then shocked to learn it's Moonstone.Moonstone herself has done her own sneaking-in, using her intangibility (and hence also invisibility?) to gain entrance to the FF HQ where she's now scanning their database entry on the Inhumans. Which is where Invisible Woman and Mr Fantastic confront her. Karla Sofen is conflicted, with a war going on between the villainess she used to be and the heroine Hawkeye and the others expect her to be. (And actually as we have seen in #28, Annual 2000 and #41 the conflict seems to be between herself and some sort of spirit within her empowering Kree Moonstone.) Anyway that conflict now expresses itself in the question whether to ask the pair for help or just kill them.Now we cut to Andrea Sterman who is researching a subject for her 2nd book which has brought her to a curio shop in Notting Hill, London to ask a former superhero who used to work for Roxxon about Hard Air. The lights are off but when the owner turns them on it reveals lots of transparent objects, including the desk that is supporting the cash register. He says they're made out of Hard Air and they are invisible until illuminated in a certain way.She establishes that he is Colin Hume who used to be Windshear. He worked for Roxxon (Alpha Flight #88-94) until he joined the Canadian AF team (AF#95-130, the end of the series). He hasn't been seen since then until now. He uses his mutant power to create Hard Air projections and he provided Roxxon with large amounts of it. But they had to keep it in vacuum-sealed containers to stop it quickly disintegrating, or doing so on contact with anything solid. Since then he has has learned to make it more stable.Andrea asks him if Roxxon could have improved it to make it last longer but still vanish on contact. Colin presumes they might. She wonders if they could make bullets that dissolved after penetrating the victim.We'll leave that plot strand and connect briefly with another 1. A little girl in Latveria goes to collect water from a river(?) and finds a costumed body washed ashore which we recognise as Citizen V. (She had a long fall into water from Crimson Cowl's base last issue.)Now the Thunderbolts arrive at Zemo's jungle castle. Ogre detects week-old (ionic?) energy residues but shields prevent him from scanning for life inside. Mach-2 and Songbird swoop down and find the place recently trashed, and M-2 detects a moving heat signature. The pair enter through the roof and note signs that equipment has been removed.The others enter at ground level and Black Widow asks Ogre why he's chosen this as his 1st away assignment. He says it piqued his scientific curiosity. She notes signs of people going down into the basement and the whole team descend to find a science lab, also with most equipment taken away. Ogre can't find any recent tracks, but deliberately doesn't mention dried gelatinous footprints. Natasha Romanoff thinks there's something not right about the persona he projects.Then there's an explosion and Cyclone appears accompanied by a horde of what Hawkeye recognises as Protoids, people genetically manipulated by Arnim Zola that Zemo once sicced on Captain America (in CA#176). Techno momentarily drops his bumbling Ogre act to turn his hand into a sonic scrambler which tears apart a Protoid that attacks him. But everyone else takes Clint's cue not to harm them.Cyclone reappears carrying 2 scientists. Mach-2 follows him but he gets away in a jet craft. However M-2 manages to fire a tracer at it. Ogre ends the fight with a device which emits a biocellular resonance wave that turns the Protoids back to human. He hand-waves an explanation of how he did it. Hawkeye congratulates him but BW is suspicious.Songbird investigates where Cyclone got the scientists from and finds an ion generator, which confirms what they understand the Maggia wanted. But then Mach-2 gets a message automatically relayed from their HQ saying that Atlas and Wonder Man have been seen with the also-ionically-powered Count Nefaria and they're fighting the Avengers.The crossover continues in AVENGERS (1998) #33.
