• Fear Itself 5: Brawl · Fear Itself · 22 pages

  Tony asks Odin if he can use the armory of Asgard to forge weapons against the Serpent. Thor battles Nul and Angrir and is badly wounded. He mortally hurts Angrir, however, and Franklin Richards uses his powers to turn the creature back into the Thing. The Avengers take the fight to the Serpent and Skadi but lose. The Serpent breaks Cap's shield. Steve lets Spider-Man leave to try and find Aunt May as he comes to the realization that the heroes of Earth are going to lose their battle with the Serpent.

Publisher’s description

Thor. Hulk. Thing. The fight to end all fights. And while it rages, the Serpent's forces deal Captain America a blow not even he can withstand.
