Fear itself 6

Thor is down for the count after the fight with the Thing and Hulk in the previous issue. The avengers scrambled to revive Thor by bringing Thor back to asgard to seek help from Odin. A pissed of Captain America who witnessed the carnage brought upon by the god of fear unleash a tirade against Odin as he seek Odin's help to restore Thor. Odin annoyed by Cap's behavior effortlessly teleported the avengers back to earth and attends to Thor. Thor heals with the help of Odin and gains a Odin's powerful armor and the Ragnarok sword that can kill the Serpent. Meanwhile Ironman is in the final stages of forging superweapons capable of defeating the serpent.

The avengers by now are a helpless bunch unable to stop the Serpent. Captain America as always decide to do the honorable thing by being the last line of defense against the Serpent and its minions from getting to the world tree which would ultimately force Odin to raze the entire earth of its living beings. The story ends with both party facing a standoff that only one will survive. An epic battle is waiting to happen next to compensate the lack of action in this issue. Not much notable events here and this issue could be skipped and not miss the plot. It will be interesting to see Ironman's new weapons and how effective it is against the serpent.
