“A Balance is Struck!”

In "A Balance is Struck!", Loki’s fatal act unleashes the first tremors of Ragnarok, plunging Asgard into dread as Balder’s death threatens to unravel the world’s fate. With the weight of prophecy pressing down, Odin makes a desperate gamble—using a sliver of his own power to hold Balder’s spirit in limbo, delaying the end of days. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, this pivotal 1978 issue features a cover by Buscema and Severin that captures the storm of divine consequence.
