RAGNAROK BREAKING OF HELHEIM #4  $4.99
IDW PUBLISHING
(W/A/CA) Walter Simonson
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.

Today Alex finally brings about his original vision: An anthology of stories by exceptional talents. Over this series you'll see work by Adam Hughes, Bill Sienkiewicz, Dan Brereton and more, linked by an overarching story by Alex and Steve Darnall.
