Prologue: In a hidden tomb, a mystery god (it’s Tyr, as revealed next issue) pours the sap of Yggdrasil into the heart of an ancient corpse and there are signs of life….
Review: Another story arc kicks off, with another ancient evil buried for centuries making a comeback and wreaking havoc on Earth. This time we have a number of guests from the Avengers, etc. showing up to fight the Anti-Life (wait, isn’t that what Darkseid was looking for in DC?). Jane shines, both as Jane the healer and Valkyrie who stands between life and death. Thor doesn’t come off too well in this entry but that’s okay, he has his own book in which to recover. And the stakes are raised with a hero becoming a villain, for some routine excitement next time. A lot of this seems familiar but after a while what doesn’t?
Comments: This issue takes place before the events of THOR (2020) #1 though Thor is shown in his Herald of Galactus guise on the cover. Black Panther and Captain Marvel are mentioned as dealing with the demon incursion elsewhere in the world. Jason Aaron and Torunn Gronbekk are co-writers.
