Comic Review: Journey Into Mystery #643

Writers: Kieron Gillen and Matt Fraction
Artist: Carmine Di Giandomenico
Colourist: Chris Sotomayor
Letterer: Virtual Calligraphy’s Clayton Cowles

(Note: This issue continues on from Mighty Thor #19 and into Mighty Thor #20)

Along the way, Loki made enemies of a Hel Wolf, adding to his growing list that already included Hela and Mephisto. Surtur escaped and hadn’t been heard from—until now.

Loki and Thor find Broxton under attack by flames that cannot be doused by normal means. Despite their valiant efforts, Thor is gravely wounded. As Loki tends to Thor’s wounds, they hear a summons from Asgardia—upon closer inspection, the World Tree has been set ablaze by these mysterious flames. And now…Everything Burns.
