Comics legend Walter Simonson's epic tale of divine intrigue in the
twilight of the Norse gods continues!
In the end, the gods gathered together and met their foes on the Battle
Plain of Vigrid. There, so the stories say, the gods and their Great
Enemies slaughtered each other, the stars fell from the sky, Midgard
itself sank into the all encompassing ocean, and the Nine Worlds were
destroyed.
But not all the old stories are true. Thor survived as did most of the
Enemies while the gods went down to defeat and the Nine Worlds became
one vast land of desolation. Now, in his search for revenge, the last
god standing hears the voice of one long dead and it sets him on a new
course. The path he must tread will lead down into Helheim, the realm of
Death, where he will encounter a host of threats--a mine of slaves
charged with unearthing ore to forge god-killing swords, monstrous
wolves who would tear him to shreds in their rage, and the numberless
hosts of Helheim itself. For Thor seeks the hidden fate of Hel, Queen of
the Dead, one of the architects of Ragnarök, and Loki's daughter! And,
behind everything, he will discover a secret that threatens the balance
of all existence.
Walter Simonson, legendary creator of Star Slammers, Manhunter and
the Alien film adaptation (with Archie Goodwin), and the definitive
version (after Stan and Jack) of Marvel's Thor, presents the next
thrilling chapter of his own post-Ragnarök Thor saga!
