Stories

The Power! The Passion! The Pride! · 16 pages
Thor and Crusher Creel fight each other in the streets of New York. Thor is laid low when he turns his back on Creel because he paused in battle to save a small boy who had ventured too close to the conflict.
Maelstrom! · 5 pages
Thor’s ship approaches the deadly Pillars of Utgard where it is buffeted by strong waves. The Asgardians pull at the oars with all their might but to little avail. Meanwhile, Balder climbs to the top of the ship’s figurehead, dragging a mighty horn with him. The reason for this will be revealed in the next episode.
