Synopsis
Thor’s hammer has been separated from him by Rock Trolls,
trapping both he and Sif in New York City. As the seconds before Thor
transforms back into Donald Blake tick by, Sif refuses to accept defeat
attempts to use her latent mystical talent to transported them back to
Asgard. This succeeds, and the two find themselves transported back to
the home of the Rock Trolls. There they stumble upon the fact that the
Rock Trolls seek to make a replica of Thor’s hammer so that they might
better crush the Gods and take over Asgard.
While in the city proper, Odin and his forces continue to try and
defend the city, however they are easily fought back by the Rock Trolls
and their advanced weaponry, which they forced the Orikal to build for
them. Believing that he has been abandoned by his son, Odin enters the
fray with his Scepter of Power, however finds bested when the Rock
Trolls arrives with a weapon that drains it of it’s power, rending it
useless. Unwilling to accept defeat, Odin tosses the useless weapon
aside and orders his warriors back into battle.
While back in the underground cavern of the Rock Trolls, Thor and
Sif find Ulik who has had the Rock Troll’s best forgers create a
duplicate hammer. Thor reveals himself to Ulik, and using the
enchantment that pulls the hammer back into his possession to divest
Ulik of one of the hammers in his hands. Although both have an equal
weapon, Thor is able to gain the advantage in combat. Witnessing Ulik’s
failing performance in battle, Geirrodur grabs a Menti-Horn and calls
the Orikal to come to their aid and destroy the Thunder God.
The Orikal, appears before Thor and Sif, and tells the Thunder
God that he only fights for Geirrodur because the King of the Rock
Trolls has him enslaved with mystical flames. Thor tells the Orikal that
there is another way when Ulik once more attacks. Thor fights Ulik off
who flees to the flames control switch and threatens to turn it to full
power. Thor prevents this by a quick throw of his hammer which knocks
Ulik out.
Thor then frees the Orikal, who thanks Thor for rescuing him and
departs Asgard, taking the energy which powers the Rock Troll’s weapons
with him. As the tide of battle turns and the Rock Trolls are sent
fleeing back to their domain, Geirrodur agrees to surrender, and
complies with Thor’s demand that the Rock Trolls return to their home.
Thor then uses the Rock Troll’s tunnel to return to the city of Asgard
where he is reunited with his father and hailed as a hero once more by
the people of Asgard.
Notes
The fact that the Rock Trolls were able to drain Odin’s Scepter
of it’s power is in direct contradiction of a previous story in which
Odin explains that the power from the Scepter originates from his own
Odin Power.

Synopsis
The Avengers find themselves unable to revive the fallen Goliath. A
doctor informs them that he will recover but must never attempt to
shrink any further than his present 10-foot size. Goliath storms out in
anger. Black Widow is captured by Russians, brainwashed and sent to
destroy the Avengers. She enlists the help of the Swordsman and Power
Man. The Avengers are all captured with the exception of Goliath and the
Wasp. They free the captive Avengers, and after a brief battle, the
Black Widow, the Swordsman and Power Man all escape.
Notes
- Captain America, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Wasp and Goliath were all seen last issue battling the Collector and Beetle.
- When attempting to seek medial aid for Goliath, the Avengers attempt to contact Donald Blake
(at this point in time the Avengers were not aware that Donald Blake
was the civilian guise for fellow Avengers, Thor) but he was out of
town. The footnote by Stan Lee mentions that Thor is busy in Thor 128. In Thor 128, Thor is in Asgard recovering from his battle against Hercules until he is well enough to battle the Greek God again and ends up caught up in a plot by Pluto to make Hercules the ruler of Hades. - Black Widow was last seen in Tales of Suspense 64 where she and Hawkeye battled Iron Man, they were defeated and Black Widow was taken back behind the “Iron Curtain.”
- The Swordsman was last seen in Avengers 20 where he was recruited by the Mandarin to infiltrate and destroy the Avengers, this plot of course failed.
- Power Man was last seen in Avengers 22 where he was used by the Enchantress in a plot to defeat and discredit the Avengers. This plot was foiled of course.
- The Swordsman mentions that the Mandarin added extra functions to his sword. This was done in Avengers 20.
- Captain America is next seen in Tales of Suspense 77.
- Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Wasp, and Goliath are next seen in Avengers 30.
- Black Widow, Power Man, and the Swordsman are also seen in Avengers 30.
