The tale of King Thor, Queen Amora, their son Magni, Loki and Thor Girl comes to a satisfying conclusion. Like the four previous installments of  the epic of the endangered Asgard of 2170, it was written by Dan Jurgens and ably drawn by Scot Eaton and Drew Seraci. They also did the elegant intriguing cover. As a Ditko/Kirby era fan I've been groomed to appreciate visual continuity over diversity.
