In the Void, Jane Thor and Volstagg
(War) Thor are battling to the finish, he fighting for war and her
for peace. Bloodroot, wizard of Vanaheim, Balder King of Hel, the
Angels of Heven all detect the portentous events on the horizon. Jane
Thor gets hold of both her own and the War Thor's hammer and she
slams them together and the Thors go crashing into Svartalfheim. War
Thor takes this as a sign that this realm, Malekith's realm, must be
destroyed....
In Asgardia, Roz Solomon searches for
Volstagg and finds Thor Odinson; there is some romantic tension
between them but Roz cuts it short to ask Heimdall to find the War
Thor. Shortly thereafter, Odinson and Roz arrive in Svartalfheim
where Odinson pleads with Volstagg to lay down the hammer (surprising
Jane who did not know the identity of War Thor). Jane Thor drops her
hammer and becomes dying Jane Foster once more. She begs her friend
Volstagg to remember who he is—husband, father, senator, friend—and
he drops the hammer and everything is good again. Odinson orders the
Ultimates hammer back to old Asgard and it goes, to Roz's surprise.
The War of the Realms continues with a
smug Malekith marshaling his forces (Hel and Roxxon) for another
invasion....
