Well, as the cover tells us ... this is a crossover event book. Now bear in mind that waaaaay back then, crossover events were a rarity and this issue ... the Avengers didn't take the lead but rather one of their members i.e the storyline originated from THOR's own book and spilled over hereYou see, in the world of THOR for more than a year now, Walter Simonson (writer again) has been busy building up a storm of a storyline introducing new characters that are from waaaay left field and throwing Thor into all sorts of nastiness while showing us the brewing storm coming ... and in this case even the brewing storm has many sub plots and he HIT us hard with the ominous ... blunt ... deliberate ... and it works!
So finally, the fire demon Surtur has managed to break out of his prison ... and using the dark elves (Malekith being their leader) together with his own fire demons ... they have broken the casket of ancient winters ... and unleashing eternal winter on earth!
So while the Earth is consumed by freezing cold thus causing havoc ... and a lone human scrambles to fix this situation ... Thor and the entire Asgardian legion is trying hard to stem back the tide of the demons as they come pouring through various portals in different realms/ dimensions ...
Get it?
Well ... if you don't basically all you need to know is demons from Thor's background is invading Earth and Asgard hopping to rule all .. and Thor coming to earth to help fight the tide of nastiness ... and as Avengers are Earth's mightiest heroes ... naturally they came to the defence
What is really good is we get to see regular human soldiers taking a stand too and not leaving it to the super heroes only. So basically the conclusion is ... in THOR ... and next issue in Avengers is a new storyline ... feel free to skip this issue if you want but if you like Thor, then this is good to get!
