scans_dailyOn a previous post, someone wanted to know who and how the Giantess who mated with Loki and bore him Hela, Fenris and the Midgard Serpent was. This maiden of power and abominations.
Some pages from the defining Walt Simonson's run on Thor (issue #360 for those who do keep tabs) and just what a threat she was... is. I'll let her show her mettle.
First a little humor with our favorite trio, the Warriors Three.
On the last issue, the surviving whole of the Asgardians warriors had spent a month trapped in Midgard, mostly around NYC as a result of the following:
1) Odin sacrificing himself against Surtur
2) the combined might of Asgard, the Avengers, the Norn forces and Beta Ray Bill stopping Surtur's armies unleashed across the world.
3) the destruction of the bi-Frost, the Rainbow Bridge, due to NYC Republicans having the wrong idea about equal rights and gay rights and voting against gay marriage... (wait that's not right, Gay Marraige is now legal in NY State. HURRAY!)
*ahem*
the Rainbow Bridge being destroyed in an attempt to keep Surtur from crossing to Asgard for the Sword of Twilight which will kill all Twilight vampires... dang, I keep getting off track, the Twilight Sword will bring burning destruction to all realities.
Anyhow, after a vacation, the might of Asgard returns home, shared by a moment of levity.
(pun intended).
And if you think Thor felt bad about losing his brother Loki earlier, he was in WORSE shape after losing his father Odin. He has a mission to the underworld of the dead, but not for Odin, but to rescue innocent mortal souls taken by Hela during the upheaval in order to strengthen her own kingdom. To travel to the land of the dead, he consults with the recently dead. Someone who's death he had a part of.
Angerboda.
Taking from his father's chambers the Runes of divining and creation of the universe (to name a thing is to create a thing), Thor travels to the highest peak of Asgard, where all things can be seen. To the work of Simonson, and the telling of tales as only he can.
