• The Serpent · 44 pages

  Sin invades one of her father's old bases where she retrieves a mystic hammer and becomes possessed by the spirit of Skadi. She then travels to the ocean floor and meets the Serpent who refers to himself as All-Father. Meanwhile, the heroes of Earth hold a press conference, claiming that they will rebuild Asgard. Odin is angry about this and tells Thor he must choose between his people and mankind. As a terrible prophecy begins to unfold, Odin commands his subjects back across the rainbow bridge to the remnants of Asgard. Thor defies his father who beats him up and drags him along anyway.

Publisher’s description

Sin, the new Red Skull, has made an awesome discovery...a shameful secret that will rock the foundations of the Marvel Universe! A revelation that will divide father and son, turn friend against friend, and herald the rise of Fear personified.
