    The end of all we love

    To call this the best story thus far in the series without Steve mostly headlining it does not say as much, seeing as this is the second of two in a row, but this story succeeds on numerous fronts.  From the introduction of two new characters and in light of the events transpiring it is obvious that something is going to occur involving one of the tow of them (or both) and as the story unfolds it becomes clear in which direction this is going, but it also does so with an interesting story format, mirroring the events in the contemporary setting with those from long ago when Brunhilde first met Odin.  The first part of the issue is a little slow, but really picks up in the last few pages where the connection between the two stories becomes most evident.  with the huge battle being waged here, it is interesting to see that the action takes a secondary role to the story.
