Jane Foster thinks back many years to
when she watched her own mother die from cancer; Mom advised her to
find a god to believe in, to give her comfort. Now the dying Jane is
aware that she never found a god like that and has only herself to
rely on....
In Asgardia, Mangog is brutally beating
Thor Odinson and Odin himself, mocking them all the while. Odinson
dispatches his remaining goat Toothgrinder to fight the monster who
dashes the Throne on the All-Father's head. This only encourages Odin
to stand up and fight back....
Again, Jane thinks back to her father's
death from a heart ailment. Dr Don Blake tried to comfort her but,
alone, she just wanted to say goodbye to him. In her hospital bed,
Jane says goodbye to Dr Strange and Falcon, who return to their own
lives. Roz Solomon tells Jane that Thor Odinson will be back soon.
Meanwhile, he has stationed his dog Thori to guard Jane's room from
any hammers. Jane rests in the silence....
As Freyja surveys the battle scene,
wondering what can stop Mangog, Loki appears beside her, suggesting
she flee. She strikes him, still bitter over being stabbed in the
back by him; he tries to explain that it was the only way he could
keep Malekith from killing her. She isn't buying it. He tells her
that nothing will stop Asgard from falling that day and departs....
Mangog again brutally beats Thor and
Odin, then he seizes the controls that pilot Asgardia and sends the
city heading straight into the sun, to destroy the city once he has
killed them all....
Jane recalls the day that her
ex-husband and son were killed in an auto accident and how she
berated Thor for having done nothing to save them. She looked for a
god to believe in, and learned that the gods don't believe in
humanity....
Jane goes to the room of her friend
Bonnie, likewise a terminal cancer patient. They encourage one
another and Bonnie asks Jane to pray with her....
Mangog continues to mock the gods while
holding Thor, Odin, and Freyja in a death grip....
Jane overhears Roz calling Alpha Flight
to warn them that something is wrong on Asgardia. When she learns
that Asgardia is on a path to meet the sun, she places a hasty call
to the Avengers. With Strange's words echoing in her ears that one
more transformation will mean the death of Jane Foster, she reaches
out to touch the waiting Mjolnir...
...and now the Mighty Thor is facing
Mangog....
