“...So Falls the Realm Eternal!”

In "So Falls the Realm Eternal!", Thor battles for his life as Balder—wielding the power of The Destroyer—overwhelms him in a brutal clash. With Karnilla struggling to break Loki’s spell and the Warriors Three desperate to rouse Odin, the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Walt Simonson’s dynamic art and Tony DeZuniga’s inks, this pivotal issue sees Thor reclaim his strength, only to face Loki in a battle that will test the very fabric of the realm. The cover, by Walt Simonson and Joe Sinnott, captures the moment’s intensity.
