Valkyrie: Jane Foster #4
In "The Sacred and the Profane Part IV," Jane Foster, accompanied by Lisa, attends a lecture by archaeologist Annabelle Riggs, hoping to uncover more about Brunnhilde. When a portal tears open during the event—drawing the attention of Dr. Strange—three dark sorcerers from a dimensional prison emerge, setting a deadly trap: Grim Reaper is sent to either kill Jane or claim a hero’s soul, a move that could make him the new Valkyrie under Mephisto’s command. Written by Jason Aaron and Al Ewing, with striking art by Cafu and colors by Jesus Aburtov, this issue blends mythic stakes with high-octane magic, all framed by Mahmud Asrar’s intense cover.

Jane, along with Lisa, goes to a lecture by archaeologist Annabelle Riggs in hopes of getting information about Brunnhilde. After the lecture, with Dr. Strange in attendance, a portal opens and lets in a trio of evil magic users from a dimension used for a prison. Mephisto orders Grim Reaper to kill Valkyrie or bring him the soul of a hero, which would allow Reaper to be the new Valkyrie and under Mephisto's control.
