“What madness is this, Volstagg!!? I thought thou feared neither man nor beast!!”
“In truth, I do not–!! But that is neither man nor beast– It is– my wife!!”

This is the fourth chapter of the Odinsword Saga. Let’s recap. The Odinsword was cracked by a mysterious enemy, so Thor is embarking on a quest to discover who is responsible. They are almost ready to leave.

The ship departs.

This advisor to Odin seems worth noting. He isn’t named, and I don’t think we’ve seen him before. Let’s be on the lookout.

Rating: ★★★☆☆, 50/100
