He is freed to cause more mayhem on the Marvel Universe. Turning point: What if Loki had been freed before Thor? Story type: Momentary difference Watcher's mood: Close encounter of the third kind Altered history: Somehow, Loki gets himself released fractionally faster and starts looking for his bro'. He finds Don Blake instead and the Uru hammer transformed into a wooden cane. He escapes Asgard, gets the hammer and throws it into the woods to become part of the forest.
If he can't use it, no one can. Poor Don Blake runs into the yonder cave and finds The Saturnians don't waste time with him. It's a death that Odin feels all the way back to Asgard, so if you thought the Saturnians were now free to invade Norway, think again.
An All-Father's grief is a powerful thing indeed. Thor wakes up in the Land of the Dead without his memory and happily wrestles other men for pleasure. Who are we to judge Viking Heaven? Odin, however, won't let his son go without a fight and he mounts an expedition to wrangle him from Hela's grasp. She's not moving.
While the Warriors Three and Heimdall are with him, Balder thinks this is against the natural order of things and sits out. It's a grave mistake since Loki has discovered the ancient prophecy that Balder's death will spark Ragnarok.
All he needs is a weapon tipped with mistletoe, the only thing in creation not to have taken a vow never to harm Balder. Oh, and he has it. As the forces of evil awaken to battle a defenseless Asgard, Balder meets up with Thor in Valhalla. Seeing his little friend jogs Thor's memory and together they start fighting Hela's forces to get the Hel out of there.
The Warriors Three follow Heimdall's nose to the forest where Loki threw Mjolnir and Loki fails to stop them from acquiring the Uru hammer in branch form. Odin turns it back into a hammer and hopes to deliver it to Thor himself, giving his life in exchange for his son's. Someone has other plans, however, and it's the Lady Sif who walks into the Land of the dead to take her love's place. Balder is also freed, and we only learn later what toll was paid for his life, once Ragnarok is averted. It's Odin's usual get out of jail free card - his eye.
You know what they say, when you lose the use of a sense, your other senses get sharper. Odin's fashion sense, for example. Books canceled as a result: None. Thor's been through so many permutations over the years that it all comes out to the same. I'm sure the next page would have shown a more humble Thor choosing to return to the life of Don Blake, for example.
