In the Dimension of Death’s Black Pyramid, Thor and his
allies are prisoners of Grog the God-Crusher who tortures Thor while boasting
about taking his hammer Mjolnir away. After the bad guys leave, the heroes (Hogun,
Black Knight, Earth Lord, Skyhawk, Wind Warrior) try to break their bonds….
In Asgard, the defenders are beating back the forces of Seth
so he sends to his captive “weapon” who refuses to cooperate until he is harmed
by Grog. Suddenly, the battle goes against the Asgardians. Balder is struck
down and falls in the path of a giant war machine but the power of Thor enables
him to overturn the massive tank. Sif and Fandral protect Balder while Volstagg
volunteers to oversee the evacuation of the women and children….
Oh, oh... Thanos must be nearing.
Something broke or failed. Our apologies for the inconveniences.
Back in the Dimension of Death, Wind Warrior, who panicked
and fled the battlefield last issue, is being pursued by members of the Death
Legions; she is caught and instinctively responds with a tornado that carries
them off to the Black Pyramid. And then she is found by the Lost Ones….
In Asgard, Seth pays a visit to Loki who calmly advises the
invader to give up his plan and depart. When he learns that Seth is absolutely
convinced of victory, Loki excuses himself and takes his leave, magically….
Volstagg makes sure that all the women and children of
Asgard—including his own wife and kids—have boarded the ship that will take
them to safety. He refuses to join his wife and leads his troops into battle with
the Death Legions, saying, “The enemy shall not pass!”
Invisible, Loki visits the Black Pyramid, searching for the
super-weapon. He finds Thor and the others in the dungeon; Thor refuses to
break under the excessive torture. It is only when Grog threatens to conquer
Asgard using Thor’s own hammer that the God of Thunder is angry enough to break
free of his bonds and start breaking heads. The others are also freed and join
in the melee. Thor beats Grog into a pulp before realizing he is giving in, not
to justice but vengeance. He vows to end the threat of Seth with his allies….
