WHILE STILL UNWORTHY OF LIFTING HIS HAMMER MJOLNIR, HE IS ONCE MORE THE GOD OF THUNDER. JUST IN TIME TOO, BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THE DARK ELF KING MALEKITH FROM CONQUERING ALL OF THE TEN REALMS. TO THAT END, LOKI TELEPORTED HIS BROTHER TO HEL, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER ATTACK FROM MALEKITH’S ALLY AND THE RULER OF MUSPELHEIM, SINDR. ONCE THERE, THOR AND LOKI JOINED THEIR BROTHERS TYR AND BALDER THE BRAVE, WHO IS THE CURRENT RULER OF HEL, AS WELL AS BALDER’S LOVER KARNILLA AND SKURGE THE EXECUTIONER, TO FIGHT OFF THE INVADING MUSPELHEIM ARMY. TO UNIFY THE DISPARATE FORCES OF HEL AGAINST THE INVASION, LOKI MADE A RADICAL PROPOSAL: THAT BALDER MARRY HELA, THE FORMER RULER OF HEL, AND SHARE THE THRONE WITH HER. THE WEDDING CEREMONY WAS NEARLY COMPLETE WHEN THOR CONVINCED LOKI TO “KILL” HIM SO THAT HE COULD GO TO VALHALLA AND RECRUIT THE VALKYRIES TO HELP THEM TURN THE TIDE AGAINST SINDR. WITH THOR’S RETURN IN QUESTION, WHO SHOULD ARRIVE TO STOP THE WEDDING BUT THANOS… “WAR IS HEL” NOTE: THE EVENTS OF THIS ISSUE TAKE PLACE BEFORE INFINITY WARS PRIME #1.
