Last issue, Balder was about to blow a horn. This issue, he blows the horn. Maybe next issue we’ll find out why.

Last issue opened and ended as they were approaching the dreaded Pillars of Utgard. This issue they are… even closer to the dreaded Pillars.

Along the way, Three Warriors stand with Thor against Loki’s mutiny.

We seem no closer to finding the hidden evil that threatens Asgard. Six chapters in. The Odinsword Saga is more than halfway over and hasn’t even really started.

Rating: ★★½, 49/100
Significance: ★★★☆☆

I read this story in Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor vol. 4.

Characters

  • Thor
  • Loki

Story notes:

  • Loki leads mutiny.
  • Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg side with Thor.
  • Volstagg brags, but seems a coward. He gets knocked out and falls on the bad guys.
  • Balder remains on masthead blowing horn.
