Years ago, Daredevil met Thor and tried
to reconcile Thor's divine status and his own Catholic faith. Days
ago, the forces of Malekith invaded Manhattan and a helicopter
carrying Mayor Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk was brought down by a Frost
Giant. Now refugees are praying for deliverance in a church besieged
by giants; Daredevil arrives with the powers of Heimdall to hear all
ten realms and he fights off the giants with Heimdall's sword—though
he doesn't know if that makes him a god. Among the rescued is an aide
to Wilson Fisk; DD asks him what happened to Fisk. Answer: he is a
prisoner of Malekith, under watch by Kurse. Malekith wants to know
how to break Daredevil; Fisk just laughs....
“The Warriors Three (or Four)”
Writer: Josh Trujillo. Art: Ricardo
Lopez Ortiz. Colors: Felipe Sobreiro.
Synopsis: As the War of the Realms
consumes New York City, the Warriors Three, specifically Hogun and
Fandral carrying an injured Volstagg to safety toward Dr. Strange's
Sanctum Sanctorum; they are led by Hildegarde who resists being
included in their number. They encounter a Frost Giant; Hildegarde
and Fandral attack, leaving Hogun to deposit the comatose Volstagg in
a dumpster for safety. As they engage the giant, Cloak and Dagger
appear and Cloak absorbs the monster into the Darkforce. The two
teams introduce themselves, with Fandral hitting on Dagger, and,
getting directions to Strange's home, they part—and discover that
Volstagg is no longer in the dumpster. They find the sleeping hero
has crawled to a hot dog stand and eaten his way through, vanquishing
a couple of Dark Elves in the process. They arrive at the Sanctum
Sanctorum where Hildegarde presents the group to Jane Foster as The
Warriors Four.

Synopsis: A frantic mother arrives at
the Sanctum Sanctorum to be met by Jane Foster. Her kids Jae and
Chris arrive with a tale about how they helped Wolverine defeat the
bad guys: trapped in an alley by Dark Elves, they were rescued by
Logan who cut through the baddies and when a troll came up behind
Logan, Jae threw a rock, hitting it in the head and killing it. Logan
tells them that “as long as we're still fightin' for each other,
even when we're scared, we'll be okay.” The refugees are then
teleported to Avengers Mountain. Back in the alley, we find it was
Punisher's shot that killed the troll and they joke around as they
head off into battle.
