Ulik is trailing Thor once more, but this time…he's not alone. The Thunder God must lunge into action against the mighty Rock Trolls!

PLOT: Ulik and the Troll King, Gierrodur, who forged Mjolnir, plan to destroy Thor's hammer.

STORY (SPOILERS)

Ulik and Gierrodur plot Thor's destruction. They decide that the hammer must be destroyed. While Thor seeks solace in North Korea, he is captured and taken to the land of the Trolls.

Ulik challenges Thor to an unarmed battle. During the battle troll slaves bring up an enchanted Uru plate. It has been magnetized to draw the hammer from Thor while he's distracted by Ulik.

Half a minute passes before Thor even realizes that his hammer is gone. Three hundred trolls pull hammer and plate across the Bridge of Winds toward the Hellfire from which Mjolnir had been forged.

A warning cry saves Thor from a solid clobbering from Ulik. Surprisingly the lips which saved the thunder god belonged to the Troll Queen, Ulla. With just seconds remaining Thor belts Ulik out of the way and sprints toward the Hellfire.

At the furnace he sees his hammer falling into the fire. He has no choice but to jump in after it. Ulik looks on with surprise. He couldn't have planned a better victory! It's time to advance on earth and Asgard!
