So! Thou wouldst trifle with Volstagg? Know you that my very belly is more than a match for a dozen such as thee!
It’s been a minute. We were in the middle of the Harokin/Warlock’s Eye saga. I’ve decided not to worry about the flow of the Tales of Asgard feature, and just read them as back-ups to the Thor comics, as they were published. So because we paused Thor’s story in the main stories, we paused here.
But now it’s been 9 months and we need to remember things. Harokin has used the Warlock’s Eye to conquer Muspelheim. Thor looks enough like Harokin that he thinks he can disguise himself as Harokin and do some subterfuge.
The ruse seems to be working as Harokin’s warriors go fetch the Warlock’s Eye at Thor’s command.
Volstagg gets his moment to be a hero and almost messes up the plan, also not recognizing Thor.
But the Warlock’s Eye is powerful. So once it’s in Thor’s hands, the battle’s over. But not yet the saga.
While this chapter is fairly slight, mostly an excuse for some humor from Volstagg, and the saga so far has been fairly slight… it actually ends with two rather good chapters. Stay tuned!
