“One God Must Fall!”

In "One God Must Fall!", Thor’s battle for identity reaches a fever pitch as the real god, disguised as Loki, escapes Mephisto’s grasp with help from the Warriors Three and Sif—only to return to Earth and face his doppelgänger, who’s wreaking havoc in Thor’s likeness. Stan Lee’s gripping script, brought to life by Neal Adams’ dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks, captures the clash of divine wills as Thor outsmarts Loki in a desperate showdown that hinges on a single, fateful moment. The cover, a striking collaboration by John Buscema, Marie Severin, and John Verpoorten, perfectly frames the stakes: two gods, one hammer, and a fate hanging in the balance.

Thor, in Loki’s form, is freed from Mephisto’s trap by his friends, the Warriors Three and Sif. Mephisto is repulsed by Thor’s innate goodness and allows the heroes to leave Hades. On Earth, Loki, in Thor’s form, has been battling the military. The real Thor confronts him and, in battle, tricks him into hurling his hammer. After 60 seconds, Thor turns into Dr. Blake. Blake grabs his stick and transforms into Thor, undoing Loki’s spell. Loki is defeated and submits to Thor.
