DeFalco/Frenz Retrospective: Thor vol.6 #25

 

Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciler: Ron Frenz

Synopsis: Odin consoles Amora after the passing of her sister. 

Comments: This story takes place during the events of Thor #402 where the Enchantress' sister Lorelei passes away and Amora goes to the Earth with the Bloodaxe. 

The first two pages are take right from Thor #402, albeit much more intense since it's a nightmare Amora is having about the death of Lorelei and meeting Skurge's spirit. 

Amora must be some kind of noblewoman to have a castle and servants to wait on her. She's shown to be possessing the Bloodaxe. 

The Crimson Hawks almost exclusively appeared only during DeFalco/Frenz's run on Thor and first appeared in Thor #405. Their uniform first appeared in Thor #404. Anyway, after the events of this story, so this their first canonical appearance. 

Amora's confident walk is taken from her first appearance in Journey into Mystery #103. 

The Enchantress tries to enslave Odin and imagines what Asgard would look like under her rule. I like Loki's disappointed expression. 

Her little coup doesn't work, but Odin cuts her some slack because of her sister. She lies about the whereabouts of the Bloodaxe. Then the story picks back in Thor #402 again where Amora heads to Earth with the Bloodaxe.
