*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** What in the hell are they doing to Thor; especially after the Beyonder and Power Pack! Bow we find out that he's been turned into a frog! And that stubborn Asgardian attacks not only rats, but now is attacking alligators. I am expecting to see the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to come flying to his aid. Could someone please exzplain to me how he's going to be reverted back to humanoid form? Or is Loki just going to wave his hand and the mighty Thor will return to his humanoid appearance? Any comments would be much appreciated. I can't see Thor as a toad (frog) carrying around a huge stone hammer! -- Paul -- "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side."

Thor will return to his former godly form within two issues. The
enchantment which turned him into a frog requires enormous amounts of
magical energy, which are being supplied by Surtur's sword. Since the sword
was discovered by the children, it is only a matter of time before Heimdall
et al. travel to the desert to remove Loki's power taps, undoing the spell.

My guess is that Odin is going to be coming back REALLY soon....Something big seems to be brewing, what with Loki messing around with X-Men and Alpha Flight's crew among others...... I think that Odin will be back in time to stop Loki, and that there'll be a lot of mutants around for various "explained" reasons, and just at the same time as Marvel's 25th Aniversary.....Gee what a coincedence. (sp?) Of course that's just a guess.....8o) -- ------ S. R. Pietrowicz UUCP: ...!ihnp4!pur-ee!csd-gould!houligan!srp

The scene would shift to Asgard and I would find myself saying, "NO, give me more of the frog stuff." Why? Perhaps there are things that I like about the character that don't depend on his being an Asgardian god and perhaps the story was well-written enough that it worked, even after suffering such a severe change of environment. In any case, it makes me believe Simonson is doing an excellent job. Go Walt! -- --rick heli ... {ucbvax,lll-crg}!ucdavis!ccrrick

I have to agree that Thor as a frog is entertaining. Perhaps the funniest
thing was the frogs being able to show facial expression (for example, the
princess wailing, "My father - DEAD?", or more obvious, Thor a la frog
gritting his teeth as he lifts the hammer). One point a friend made: why did
the rams (that towed Thor's chariot) make an allusion to an American Express
Card commercial? Nevertheless, I was amused.
A question to be asked: Puddlegulp reveals that he was formerly human.
Anyone we know?
Feel free to expound.
