We seek no needless battle– though we surrender to none!

“By the bristling beard of Odin”, says the Narrator. An oath Thor exclaimed in the first part of this issue.

Odinsword Saga continues. Odinship under attack. Thor tries for a peaceful solution, but Loki opts for battle. And gets himself captured. But Thor will save any member of his crew, even Loki.

Thor refers to Loki as his half-brother, which doesn’t seem right. Odin adopted Loki. They don’t share a biological parent.

And thus we close the comic and the series. Farewell, Journey Into Mystery. Unfortunately, the Odinsword Saga will continue.
