• The Siege of Asgard - Phase One · Siege · 23 pages

  As Volstagg roams the Earth looking for adventures, Loki and Norman Osborn set him up by forcing him to battle the U-Foes in a public place. Soldier Field in Chicago is blown up during a football game and thousands are killed. Norman fools Ares by telling him that Loki is responsible and Ares agrees to lead an army of Avengers and Initiative heroes in an invasion of Asgard (which is currently hovering over Broxton, Oklahoma). Thor intervenes and is badly beaten. Captain America, recently returned from the dead, watches his friend fall on live television.
