Stories
- --And Odin Dies! · 21 pages
Odin appears to be dead. Thor and his allies fight Mangog. Odin revives. Mangog draws the Odinsword from its sheath, thus endangering the entire universe. Odin casts a spell to return the Odinsword to its sheath, but the effort kills him. Thor defeats Mangog. Odin may still possess a spark of life. Thor swings his hammer and freezes time around his father until a cure for his apparent death can be found.
