The story opens with a flashback to young Thor, still looking forward to the day when he is worthy enough to wield the mystic Uru hammer Mjolnir. Failing to lift it yet once more, he chooses to take the ax Jarnborn on his journeys….
893 A.D.: Thor leads a Viking ship on a voyage to plunder what is now Russia. As they cross the fog-shrouded sea they spy a cloaked figure through the mist, walking on the water. The figure also spies them and flies in their wake….
