The grand quest to uncover the mystery behind the crack in the Oversword of Asgard officially begins! Thor consults the wise sage Morduk, who provides him with a mystical artifact: the Crimson Hand, a powerful glove that compels anyone it touches to speak the truth. Thor and Loki prepare for their journey, but tensions arise…

As tensions flare across Asgard, Thor and Loki face their greatest challenge yet—each other! Stan Lee’s fresh arc teases an uneasy partnership that could either save or doom their world. With Kirby’s dynamic visuals bringing every clash to vivid life, you’ll eagerly await the next thrilling twist.

Continuing the Loki-centric arc of the Tales of Asgard series, this chapter sees Thor and Loki embark on a diplomatic mission to the court of King Hymir, where they hope to secure an alliance for Asgard. However, Loki has his own agenda, covertly working to orchestrate Thor’s failure while strengthening his network of allies against…

This chapter vividly portrays young Loki’s strategic betrayal against Thor, deepening Marvel’s mythological tapestry with Jack Kirby’s vibrant artwork, firmly rooting the ongoing tension between heroism and deceit.

Marvel’s charming blend of Norse mythology and fairy tale delivers an entertaining if somewhat predictable adventure. Iduna faces off against the legendary Fenris in a visually rich encounter enlivened by Kirby’s art. Despite dated gender tropes, the tale remains a vibrant snapshot of mid-1960s fantasy comic storytelling.

The Boyhood of Loki is a classic Tales of Asgard entry that dives into Loki’s psyche, setting up his eternal feud with Thor. It’s not an action-packed epic, but rather a slow burn of jealousy and sibling rivalry that simmers with potential. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s collaboration here is as effective as ever, balancing…

Although only briefly seen in this tale, we get the origin of Loki in this issue. The story takes place upon a great battle between Odin and Laufey. The battle rages on between the two until the Giants’ army decides to join the fray with the destruction of its leaders’ weapon. Story But the centerpiece…

In this tale, we see Loki again attempt to get at Thor through manipulation instead of direct assault. We see how well Loki can plan, read people and push things his way as he gets Thor and Balder to join him on a shortcut through Sigurd’s forest, knowing that he can get the God of…

So for those who have been following the past few months after my return, you might have expected to see something different after last week—perhaps, at a minimum, the first story from this issue instead of my jumping right to the second. Well, the first story is part one of two, and in a desire…

Today we start by finding Thor, who in this story is not yet 20, being banished from Asgard for daring to fight a Duel against Odin’s wishes. In a similar fashion to Journey Into Mystery #107, Odin’s mind seems set, and he is unwilling to heed the advice of his subjects to reconsider. But perhaps,…

this month we follow who is at first an unknown asgardian into the kindom of the dewarfs where he is captured and given to the Trolls as a slave. This however quickly proves to be a ruse and a plan to free the slaves from the Trolls. It also serves as a message ending with…

If there is one thing Loki cannot stand, it is anyone being held in Odin’s favor, at least more than him. Jealousy for Balder is the source of the conflict in this issue, and despite the title suggesting it features Balder, in my opinion the protagonist (even if a villous one) is Loki. In this…

For this “Tales Of Asgard” story, we have Balder the Brave, who appears before Odin is questioned about why he deserted the fight. It is quickly revealed it was to save a bird that fell from the nest. This this Odin sentences him to the test of Mortal death! Even with the begging and petitioning…

While the previous story in the Tales of Asgard series was anticlimactic, this one, from the moment you read the title “When Heimdall Failed” offers promise and suspense. This story is true to the title; it is of the hero failing and the consequences he and Asgard face for that failure. Perhaps as importantly, it…

In this issue, we get the origin of Heimdall as the guardian of the rainbow bridge. But is this story dramatic and everything we would hope for it to be, or is it a biography that, while having value, falls short of what is promised on the introductory page? Story The story starts with Heimdall…
