Writer: Walt Simonson
Artist: Sal Buscema
Jay's Rating: JJJJ
Synopsis:
The Storm Giants come across Thor's armor containing the (possible liquid) remains of Thor's cursed body. Loki, who feels indebted to his step brother for having saved his life, unleashes the Destroyer to keep the giants busy. The Destroyer then attempts to absorb Thor's soul, but Thor resists and actually overwhelms the Destroyer's spirit. Thor's spirit then takes full control of the Destroyer's armor. Meanwhile on Asgard, a strange plague ravages the populace and Utgard-Loki amasses his warriors to take advantage of the situation.

Jay's Notes:

  • Crossover with Mephisto Limited Series #4.
The Mighty Thor # 382: "Journey Into Mystery"
Writer: Walt Simonson
Artist: Sal Buscema
Jay's Rating: JJJJJ
Synopsis:
Thor, within the Destroyer's armor, makes his way to Hel and begins to "flex a bit of muscle". Hela is no match for the Destroyer's destructive fury and is forced to restore Thor's body and remove her curse. Meanwhile, Balder and Kurse defend Asgard from the invading giants. After humbling Hela, Thor returns to his restored body and then "persuades" the giants to leave Asgard. In the aftermath, Thor pays Loki a visit and has a nice little "chat" with his step brother.

Jay's Notes:

  • A giant-sized 300th anniversary issue!
  • Hela frees the Executioner's soul so that he can take his rightful place in Valhalla.
