Thor (Eric Masterson) stands before the newly awakened Odin and
tells him that Thor Odinson is the prisoner of Mephisto. A nervous Odin
summarily dismisses Thor and he plots with Karnilla to do away with Thor. Thor
joins with Marcus Stone and Code: Blue and, saying farewell to the
Warriors Three, they teleport back to New York….
Jerry Sapristi and Ed Marrero go to visit Susan Austin in
the hospital, walking past a number of teenagers caught in the crossfire of a drug
dispute. They reach Susan’s room to find Jackie Lukus is there….
Code: Blue heads back to the station house, leaving Thor
brooding about the feeling that something was still wrong in Asgard. Suddenly,
Sif and Balder materialize before him, brought there by the Norn Stones in their
search for the missing Odinson. Eric has some news for them….
The mystery figure [spoiler: it’s Jackie Lukus] takes the Executioner’s
axe from a locker and transforms into Bloodaxe to avenge the crimes against the
teens. The police have the criminals holed up in an abandoned building,
refusing to come out. Bloodaxe appears, leaping over the cops and, turning to them,
announces that he has come to bring punishment on the murderers. To show he
means business he hurls the police cars and officers away with a blast from his
axe. The crooks open fire on him from the upper window; Bloodaxe leaps and crashes
through the wall and starts swinging the axe, causing a huge explosion…
…which is seen by Thor, Balder, and Sif at a pizzeria where
Eric had brought them up to date on the situation in Asgard. Thor and Balder
want to investigate the explosion but Sif, impatient to find her beloved Thor,
grabs the Norn Stones, opens a dimensional portal, and leaps through. The men
decide to continue on their course….
Sif finds herself facing Mephisto and assorted monsters of
his. He offers to take her to Thor but the price is very high….
Thor and Balder fly to the top of the ruined building to
find the gruesome dead bodies of the slaughtered crooks. And then Bloodaxe
steps forth….

Synopsis: Karnilla the Norn Queen has the Enchantress a prisoner
in the dungeons beneath the royal palace of Asgard. Karnilla departs, leaving an
old crone to torture Amora and a troll to guard them. Once she is gone, Amora
takes control of the troll’s mind, has him kill the crone, and free her…
…which we learn was the plan of Karnilla and Odin all along.
Amora teleports herself to the nameless dimension where Heimdall was exiled and
must fight off shadow beings, having drained much of her powers to get there. She
detects Heimdall who is cowering in fear and madness. And then she meets the
Lord of that dimension: Nightmare….
