Synopsis / Summary / Plot

Thor #139 Synopsis by Marvel Comics
Just before Thor becomes Don Blake, Sif uses her powers to teleport them to the troll kingdom, where the enchantment won't take effect.

In Asgard, the trolls press their attack, using Orilak's ulti-force cannon to drain Odin's scepter of power.

In the troll kingdom, Thor reclaims his hammer but Orikal has duplicated Mjolnir for Ulik. The two battle hammer-to-hammer, but Thor is superior. 

Thor smashes into Orikal's prison and agrees to liberate him if Orikal leaves. Orikal agrees, and notes that once he is gone the troll weapons will be powerless. Orikal departs and Thor demans Geirrodur's surrender, forcing the trolls to flee from Asgard.

Thor thinks he has divined the secret and brings his hammer Mjolnir down on the ground, scattering the crust. Below is revealed a plain of gleaming crystal—and the city of Zanadu lies within a stalactite extending downward as an inverted mountain. An opening appears but before they can descend into the city, a giant figure rises from the depths—the deadly Jinni Devil….
