In the end, the gods gathered together and met their foes on the Battle Plain of Vigrid. There, so the stories say, the gods and their Great Enemies slaughtered each other, the stars fell from the sky, Midgard itself sank into the all-encompassing ocean, and the Nine Worlds were destroyed. But not all the old stories are true. Thor survived as did most of the Enemies while the gods went down to defeat and the Nine Worlds became one vast land of desolation. Now, in his search for revenge, the last god standing hears the voice of one long dead and it sets him on a new course. Walter Simonson, legendary creator of Star Slammers, Manhunter and the Alien film adaptation (with Archie Goodwin), and the definitive version (after Stan and Jack) of Marvel's Thor, presents the next thrilling chapter of his own post-Ragnarök Thor saga!
As Thor travels deeper into the monstrous canyons of Helheim, he encounters a wild pack of ferocious wolves, larger than any he has seen before. They bear him a terrible grudge and reveal a hitherto unknown secret of the final battle between the gods and their enemies, a secret that has stretched across the centuries since the fall of the gods. And it could spell death-the real death-for Thor.
In the uttermost depths of Helheim, Thor and Ratatosk reach their goal and discover the fate of the ruler of the dead, Hel herself. She offers a bargain to the God of Thunder, but is any bargain with the daughter of Loki worth the price? And Ratatosk makes a discovery that threatens to break all bargains, something hidden in Helheim that even Hel herself fears.
Thor races to reach the rim of the dead lands and escape the lethal vengeance of Hel, pursued by the beasts of Helheim and the numberless dead. With his destruction almost upon him, the God of Thunder gathers the fate of all of Helheim into his gauntleted hands as Mjolnir, the greatest weapon of the gods, speaks in a voice of thunder across the Dusklands.

Before Walter Simonson's work with Marvel and DC, there was Star Slammers, a series first devised by Simonson during his college days. The Slammers would later be resurrected as a Marvel graphic novel, and then a miniseries. Simonson describes it thus: Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into business. They became the most successful businessmen in history, and they called themselvesThe Star Slammers!
