Just a few short days ago, Jane Foster
was riding over the city of New York with Roz Solomon in Roz's SHIELD
flying car. Roz was trying to persuade Jane to give up being Thor and
to concentrate on beating cancer, but Jane would not. Then Jane is
spirited away.... The Falcon (Sam Wilson) tries to contact Jane to
see how she's doing.... Dr Strange, now a veterinarian, sends
her a message while battling a Hexopus in a dumpster....
Now: Jane wakes up in an Earth
hospital, having been rushed there by Thor Odinson. She finds Roz,
Sam, and Dr Strange there too. They are gathered to persuade her to
concentrate on her health as Asgard can do without her....
Asgard, meanwhile, is under attack by
the Mangog. Heimdall attacks the creature, which uses the guardian's
broken sword to gouge his eyes out. Cul (the Serpent) orders his men to use Bifrost
to transport Mangog out of there but the monster smashes the Rainbow
Bridge to pieces and now faces the army of Asgard....
Dr Strange performs a medical and
magical examination on Jane and tells her that her cancer originally
had a good prognosis. It was becoming Thor which changed everything.
Now when she transforms into Thor, the chemotherapy drugs are purged
from her system, allowing the cancer to spread. Now Strange warns her
that transforming into Thor one more time would kill her when she
returns. Mjolnir then appears in the window to summon her to battle
the Mangog....
In Asgardia, All-Mother Freyja chooses
to enter the Destroyer with her mind, even though that has become
dangerous for anyone who does it too long. She faces the monster and
attacks....
Thor Odinson tries to chase Mjolnir
away but is pushes everyone in the room away from Jane. Strange warns
her that with one more transformation, Jane Foster will die. Roz
realizes it must be Jane's decision. Jane reaches out...
Mangog bites the Destroyer's arm off
and hurls the rest away. The monster then calls out Odin....
...and Jane withdraws her hand,
climbing back into bed. She calls the others soldiers in the War of
the Realms and asks that they not let their side lose....
Odin awaits the Mangog but suddenly the
Odinson stands by him to face the monster together....
Epilogue: Wolverine stops by the
hospital late at night to leave flowers for Jane.
