- The Trial of the Gods! · 16 pages
Odin sends Thor and Loki to Skornheim to endure the Trial of the Gods, which will show which one of his sons is lying to him. Against Odin's decree, Loki uses magic to escape the traps of the enchanted land, while Thor has to rely on brawn and sheer will. Meanwhile, the Enchantress and the Executioner set about tormenting Jane Foster in a bid to influence the outcome of the trial. Odin sends Balder to deal with them.
- The Challenge! · 5 pages
On a diplomatic mission, Loki convinces King Hymir to put Thor to a deadly test, where failure means slavery to the evil king. Thor, of course, passes the test, much to the annoyance of Hymir who strikes Loki and accuses him of betrayal.
