Odin is back. Well, in limbo fighting everyday and dying at the end of the day. But Thor wants him back and thinks he can bring him, the same way he brought back Loki and all the other Asgardians. But before that can happen, all inhabitants of the other  realms below Asgard seek refuge with there. Will they be welcomed or chased?

This issue continues the introduction of a new threat to the world of Thor based on the departure of Asgard. Let’s hope it also leads to the restoration of the magical world. The highlights of this issue was the decision making of Balder compared with those of Thor. Thor continues to be more decisive and inspiring than Balder. The issue was a fun read, but nothing profound really happened here.

On the other hand, the highlight of this run is the art by Ferry. He is an illustrator’s illustrator. I like the crazy creature he draws. Some of them reminds me of the Myazaki ones, but with a totally different visual reference. As a storyteller, Ferry is as excellent. The pages and their contents flow seamlessly. Every panel in this comic book is a work of art to admire. Not many comic books have such visual quality.
