Loki comes to Thor and his friends with news that Karnilla, Queen of the Norns, is about to launch an attack on Asgard. Thor sends Sif and Balder back to Asgard with Loki, while he will attempt to get the final element for their quest. Thor will try to get the water from the Lake of Lilitha and return to Asgard before Karnilla’s forces will attack!

Yoshida diverges from his formula only slightly for this issue. While the issue starts with the character interactions again, this time we mostly get exposition from and distrust for Loki. Loki hasn’t really had a lot to do in the series so far, but the pranks he’s pulled and the other characters’ dialogue gives readers the notion to distrust him as well. Thor’s attitudes towards Loki are noble, he wants to protect him, but also seeks to have him pay for his actions in following them and hindering their quest.

The final battle is actually pretty exciting. Karnilla’s forces include many different creatures like goblins, lizard men and dragons, and this looks to be a massive attack. The Asgardian defenders fight in every section of the city and against all the various creatures to stave off defeat. Again, this is where Tocchini’s art shines with all of the various monsters and fight panels.

I found this to be the most entertaining issue so far.

Okay, this was a nice twist to the story. I liked this issue the best so far. It was twisted, sure but it was still great. It held so much of suspense. Hehe. I just wish these comics were a little longer, say 40 pages each but hm, that's okay. It's all good so far.

The end did wreck my mind, though. I don't want to say what it was and give a spoiler but it definitely was baffling. I can't wait to read more and find out what happens next. :D

As Thor and his pals travel through a forest Balder notices that it isn't as lush as it should be. Loki appears before them asking for help as Karnilla plans to attack Asgard. Thor sends his friends with Loki while he completes the quest. Once arriving at the lake he finds that the water is gone. He takes some dirt from the empty basin to remind himself of his failure and heads home. When he gets back Asgard is under attack. The Asgardians win, but Karnilla appears and shots Thor in the heart.

[Adrini Chia]

Not sure if I like Thor, sometimes he very macho man and its attractive but other times he's a spoilt brat.

Also the ending was dkdjdkdnsk and it made it worse cause I know whatll happen in the next issue and also I DONT KNOW IF I LIKE HIM SO IT'S HARD TO RESONATE

It was ok I guess but that cliffhanger was rather disapointing.
