The contraversy in Thor is finally nearing an end as the forces of Asgard meet the sons of Muspellheim in battle. Even with the help of Beta Ray Bill, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four (and, oh yes, somehow the X-men snuck in there, too) they are still losing. Other times, Surtur has attacked from the dimension of fire and has been stopped, but this time could prove disasterous for Asgard and Earth. Even the enchantments of Mjolnir can only slow him down and so it seems that Odin is the only god powerful enough to stop Surtur. The question to be asked...Is Odin going to throw a twist into the works to stop Surtur? He could concievably ask Hela to help him defeat Surtur or even bring in Ymir. But they are really just questions in the wind. I suppose we will just have to wait for the next issue to find out. For those readers who don't know who Hela of Ymir are... Ymir is the first of the Storm Giants and has been known to bring with him terrible storms of snow and ice. Hela is the ruler of the dead adn her powers have yet to be fully known. If you have the Marvel Universe Handbook you can look them both up. "Greetings Heimdall, Guardian of the rainbow bridge. How arest though?" -Paul-
