“The Dark and the Light”

In "The Dark and the Light," Walter Simonson’s bold storytelling and dynamic art bring Thor to a breaking point as he and Roger race to stop Malekith from unleashing the Casket of Ancient Winters—only to see the ancient weapon open, setting Surtur’s long-anticipated advance in motion. With Lorelei in peril and the Norns whispering wisdom to Balder, the balance between life and death hangs in the icy air. Walter Simonson’s powerful pencils and inks, paired with Christie Scheele’s vivid colors, define this pivotal moment in the mythic saga.
