Stories

One God Must Fall! · 19 pages
Thor, in Loki’s form, is freed from Mephisto’s trap by his friends, the Warriors Three and Sif. Mephisto is repulsed by Thor’s innate goodness and allows the heroes to leave Hades. On Earth, Loki, in Thor’s form, has been battling the military. The real Thor confronts him and, in battle, tricks him into hurling his hammer. After 60 seconds, Thor turns into Dr. Blake. Blake grabs his stick and transforms into Thor, undoing Loki’s spell. Loki is defeated and submits to Thor.
