Fear Itself #[nn]

In "Book of the Skull," Sin ventures into her father's forgotten stronghold, uncovering a mystical hammer that awakens the ancient spirit of Skadi within her. As she journeys to the ocean's depths, she encounters the Serpent—known only as All-Father—whose presence stirs long-buried secrets. Meanwhile, Earth's heroes rally in a press conference declaring their intent to rebuild Asgard, a move that ignites fury in Odin, who forces Thor to choose between his people and humanity. With prophecy stirring and the bridge to Asgard closing, Thor's defiance leads to a brutal confrontation with his father. Written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Stuart Immonen, with colors by Laura Martin and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, the cover by Steve McNiven and Mark Morales captures the storm brewing beneath the surface.
