Synopsis for "If Asgard Falls.."

In Asgard, the Tournament of Titans will soon begin, and Odin sends out the call. From across all the worlds, the Beacon of the Brave calls to any and all who would take part in order to win a suit of golden armor. But somewhere in deep space, the signal is also seen by Loki and the Absorbing Man, giving Loki an idea for revenge. The night before the tournament, all the heroes go out to celebrate the coming games. Thor and the Warriors Three come across a group of men who are partying a bit too hard (even for Asgardians), and demand they cease their brawling. One of their number, Drom, proposes that they settle things at the tournament, to which all agree. In space, Loki sends his thoughts down to Midgard, to a forgotten temple in the heart of Asia. There, the temple shatters revealing the armored form of the Destroyer. During the games, the villainous warriors employ the use of spells, which are forbidden to win the pennant. During a personal challenge, the Destroyer has arrived after smashing its way through Heimdall and crushing Volstagg. Volstagg manages to sound the alarm to the rest of Asgard, and all the warriors assemble to stop the engine of destruction. Thor begins to batter the armor relentlessly, only for the Destroyer to strike back. The Destroyer is truly unstoppable unless the physical form of Loki can be found, which has been done. Balder returns after being sent out by Odin, and tells him where he is. Stopping time, Odin sends a beam of forgetfulness out across space, striking Loki, closing down his mind and shutting down the Destroyer as well. Odin is proud of all the warriors assembled, and announces that they are all champions. Each year at that very instant, all of their armor will glow as gold to remember their heroism.

Synopsis for "Mad Merlin!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Journey Into Mystery #96

Merlin's sarcophagus is discovered in England and shipped to a new York museum. When the experts open the coffin, Merlin emerges alive. Deciding to become the power behind the country's leader, as he was with King Arthur, Merlin tries to attract attention by sending a missile off-course, but Thor retrieves it. Suspecting magic, Thor confronts Loki who tells him Merlin is responsible. Later, Merlin infiltrates the White House but Thor intervenes. In their battle, Merlin uses the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Pentagon as weapons but Thor counters each one. Finally, Thor becomes Don Blake in Merlin's presence, pretends this is one of thousands of forms he can assume, and convinces Merlin that he has powerful magic at his command. Terrified, Merlin agrees to return to the sarcophagus. Thor recommends the experts seal the crypt forever.

Synopsis for "The Enchantress and the Executioner"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Journey Into Mystery #103

With Odin still angry over Thor's love for Jane, Loki suggests he send the Enchantress to Earth to bewitch the God of Thunder. Odin agrees. Soon after, the Enchantress tries to seduce Don Blake at his office but he resists. She sneaks a kiss, however, when Jane enters. Mortified, Jane runs off. Realizing Jane must be eliminated if she is to win Thor, the Enchantress asks the Executioner to take care of her. Coming to Earth, the Executioner finds Jane and transports her to Limbo. Thor defeats him in battle but the Executioner refuses to return Jane unless Thor pledges Mjolnir to him. Thor agrees. The Executioner returns Jane and tries to life the hammer but the Enchantress, angry at the Executioner's betrayal, starts to turn him into a tree. The Executioner releases Thor from his pledge. Thor retrieves Mjolnir, disrupts the Enchantress's spell, and sends his tow opponents back to Asgard. Livid, Odin vows to intervene himself.
