JANE VS. S'YM OF LIMBO FOR THE FATE OF ASGARD!
The battle against the Dark Elves and their allies rages on in Asgard, and the warriors of the Golden City are losing - badly. R na the Valkyrie has managed to stave off total defeat, but Asgard desperately needs Thor. Can Jane find clues to the Thunder God's whereabouts in Limbo - or will she lose herself to S'ym's dark magics?
RATED T+
Grnbekk carefully constructs the third part of her five-part series with an exhilarating mix of drama, horror, action, and mystery. The philosophical elements that she adds in to the conversation with the librarian elevate the chapter to something far more than the sum of its parts, lifted as it is to lofty inspiration guided to the page by the wisdom of Jane Foster.

Dowling delivers art just as thrilling as the story itself. The tone and details in the action scenes are wonderful and I love the dark nature of the drama behind the scenes of the war itself. Read Full Review
Sometimes this series feels more like an Asgardian Madlibs than a fully fleshed out story. Read Full Review
Jane has a battle with S'ym which is out of the blue, but pretty cool. I like that Odin is speaking to her telepathically. Runa takes an arrow to the back and completely blows it off and it's never referred to again. It's always good to see Sif and Warriors Three (though we only see one). I like the battle with the trolls. It was also good to see an appearance from Hildegarde. Though we see her very briefly and I thought she was dead.
Then Thor finally shows up and is shot immediately. A very convoluted issue.
I WANT this to be good. And it is, intermittently, good. I love the portrayal of Jane (and several of the other characters). There are some brilliant lines in the script, some incredibly-blocked panels in the art. But as a whole, it's closer to "average" than "good."
Very scattered, even if I still love how Gronbekk writes Jane.
The library troll is cool, but I'm losing track of what is going on.
