The volume includes Thor's transformation into a frog, the introduction of the new Thor Beta Ray Bill, and the tragic fall of Balder. Key characters like Hercules and Ares also appear in these sweeping Norse mythology-inspired tales.
"In the Shadow of Mangog!" brings together the thunderous art of John Buscema and Don Perlin, with Gerry Conway’s gripping storytelling, as Thor returns to Asgard only to find it overrun by lizard-like beings. Though they claim to be victims of the Vrellnexians and offer help in locating the missing Odin, their true intentions begin to surface once the All-Father is freed—only to be too late to warn Thor of the betrayal that follows. The cover by Gil Kane, John Romita, Joe Sinnott, and Al Milgrom captures the clash of myth and menace with classic Marvel flair.
Thor and the Warriors Three answer Odin’s call for a new quest, while Sif is secretly sent away to Blackworld under Hildegarde’s watch. As Loki dares to face the rampaging Mangog, he is swiftly defeated and trapped in amber—just as the monstrous entity turns its fury on Asgard itself.
In "The Well at the Edge of the World!", Thor [Donald Blake] and the Warriors Three face off against Satrina and Kartag—only to forge an unexpected alliance when the tide of battle turns. As Mangog lays waste to Asgard and Odin’s desperate magic pushes him to the brink, Thor must stand with his new ally Kartag to face the unstoppable force, while Sif and Hildegarde fight side by side against the chaos.
In the aftermath of a devastating battle, Thor and his allies—Hogun, Fandral, Volstagg, Sif, Balder, and the Grand Vizier—rally around a seemingly lifeless Odin as Mangog looms, wielding the Odinsword and threatening to unravel reality. With the universe hanging in the balance, Odin’s final spell to return the blade to its sheath costs him his life, leaving Thor to confront Mangog alone. As the hammer strikes and time itself freezes, a fragile hope lingers—Odin may yet live.
In "If This Be Death..!", Thor [Donald Blake] faces down Pluto in a brutal clash that pushes him to the brink, his allies scattered as the god of the underworld unleashes his hordes. With Odin’s wisdom and Hela’s shadowed presence looming, Thor stands alone against Pluto’s axe—his fate hanging in the balance as the line between life and death blurs.
In "Beware! If This Be... Ragnarok!", Thor [Donald Blake] faces death at the hands of Pluto, who raises his axe for the final blow—only for the Norn Fates [Klothos; Laecius; Atropos] to intervene, summoning a vision of Ragnarok itself. As the fate of the Nine Realms trembles in the balance, the sisters unleash a surge of divine energy that shatters Pluto’s weapon, leaving Thor to confront a destiny far greater than his current plight.
In "Resurrection!", Thor [Donald Blake] faces off against Pluto while Hela attempts to claim Odin’s life—only for the All-Father to awaken, his body protected by Thor’s time-shield. With Odin’s return, the battlefield falls silent, and the Asgardians rally in awe. But peace is brief: Odin dispatches Thor to Blackworld, where Sif and her companions stand against Ego’s escalating threat.
In "They Walk Like Gods!", Thor and his Asgardian allies face off against the terrifying Ego-Prime, who seeks to consume Earth. As the battle reaches its peak, Heimdall gathers three mortal youths—Jackson Kimbal, Carter Dyam, and Chi Lo—whom he believes are destined to become the next Young Gods. When Ego-Prime finally dissolves into nothingness, Odin reveals the destruction was part of a grand design, leaving Thor unimpressed and his father’s expression dark with quiet displeasure.
Thor [Donald Blake], Sif, and the Warriors Three enjoy a rare moment of peace at Avengers Mansion and among New York’s landmarks—until Mephisto begins snatching them one by one. With Odin’s wrath still fresh and the city buzzing with unseen danger, Thor must uncover the truth behind the disappearances before his friends vanish completely.
In "Rebirth!", the Absorbing Man returns to Earth with a mind twisted by Loki’s whispers, setting out to destroy those he once fought alongside. As he overpowers Sif and Hildegarde, Thor steps in to stop him—only to find the battle far from over when the Absorbing Man flees toward Tom Fagan’s home, where a darker scheme unfolds.
In "Firesword!", Thor [Donald Blake] takes on the Absorbing Man [Crusher Creel] and then Loki in a high-stakes showdown during Tom Fagan's Halloween costume parade, where the real-world creators of the comic are on display. With Sif's help, Thor secures Karnilla's aid for the battle, setting up a mysterious alliance, while the storm he summons leaves Loki blinded and stumbling toward a cliff's edge—his fate uncertain.
In "The Hammer and the Hellfire!", Thor [Donald Blake] races against time as Ulik strikes, tearing him from his hammer and sending it plunging into a blazing pit.

In "The End of the Battle!", Thor [Donald Blake] retrieves Mjolnir from a blazing pit, only to face a new threat as Ulik rallies a troll army against mankind.

In "Journey to the Golden Star!", Thor [Donald Blake] and his companions return to Asgard only to find it overrun by lizard-like beings who claim to be victims of a far more dangerous alien race.

In "The Demon Brigade!!," Thor [Donald Blake], Fandral, Hogun, and their allies find themselves captured by lizard-like Vrellnexians, with Odin held hostage and urging surrender. As the group grapples with betrayal and a mysterious drugging of the slaves, Thor uncovers the truth behind their captivity and stages a daring escape. With the tide turned, the Asgardians must now pursue a new lead—Sif’s whereabouts—leaving their captors behind and setting sail into the unknown.
Thor and his Asgardian allies race through the void to rescue Sif and Karnilla, only to face Mercurio and his relentless army in a clash that tests their courage and resolve. As the battle rages, Thor uncovers a shocking truth: his comrades are imprisoned within a colossal crystal, their life-force powering the mysterious Cosmic-All.
Thor [Donald Blake] faces an impossible choice when he discovers that freeing Sif and Karnilla from the God-Jewel requires destroying it—yet doing so risks unraveling the fabric of existence itself. With help from allies like Heimdall, Fandral, and Hildegarde, and the mysterious presence of Xorr, Thor must navigate a crisis that tests not just his strength, but the very limits of divine power.
In "Where Chaos Rules!", Thor [Donald Blake] joins forces with Mercurio in a high-stakes mission to confront Xorr, the God-Jewel, as the fate of multiple realms hangs in the balance.

In "All Swords Against Them!", Thor [Donald Blake], Sif, Balder, and the Warriors Three return to Asgard only to find it overrun by eerily perfect doppelgängers of themselves—each one wielding their own power with chilling precision.
