Odin is about to send Thor into exile in space. Loki tries to upset Thor further by injuring Balder on Earth. Odin allows Thor to go to Balder’s aid. Seeing Balder’s injuries, Thor becomes Dr. Blake. Blake is attacked by Loki and is overcome. Odin is wise to Loki’s scheme and intervenes. Cowardly Loki, holding aloft Blake’s cane, must face exile in place of Thor, as Odin’s decree was to exile him who wielded the enchanted hammer. This does not go down well with Loki. Dr. Blake performs surgery on Balder, saving his life.
Publisher’s description
Thor accepts his punishment at the hands of Odin following his descent into Warrior Madness. As penance, Thor is forbidden from defending Midgard! What will happen to Earth without a god to defend it? Enter Balder the Brave, the new protector of mortals! But before Balder can say “Yggdrasil”, he must fend off the combined evil of Loki and Karnilla!
