The Light Elves of Alfheim are holding a celebration, marking
the victory in the War of the Realms. Thor and a group of representatives from
Asgard arrive for the festivities; Hawkeye is there standing in for Earth, as
Spider-Man (and many many others) was busy. Everdrop, Guardian of the Qaoyak
Tree (a health-giving seedling from Yggdrasil) whose mind was captured by a
villain, presents Thor with gifts—that put everyone to sleep but encase Thor’s
head in goo. In his mind, the God of Thunder is fighting Loki and his minions,
then a larger version of Mangog than he has ever seen. The villain reveals
himself to be Valg from a people that literally feed off of chaos in another
dimension. Thor will be the gateway to the Ten Realms as Valg manipulates Thor’s
timeline to make him a warrior of evil called Thor Bor-Kin, God of Blood and
Thunder, whose path of destruction will provide infinite food for Valg’s people.
Hawkeye fires an arrow that tears the goo from Thor’s head, restoring his mind.
Valg has Thor Bor-Kin fight Thor. In the scrap, Thor tells Bor-Kin that they
can send him back to his own reality with the knowledge that Valg has made him
what he is but that he now has the option to reform; so it goes. The League of
Realms heroes arrive and Valg, seeing that matters have spun out of his
control, teleports away. Hawkeye is introduced to cat wrestling.
