    It seems pretty unlikely that this is Mjölnir. Thor has been carrying a hammer with him every time we've seen him, even as recently as OOTS #1150, and I presume that to be THE hammer. It does look pretty magical though.

    That seems like a good guess. Any thoughts on the gloves?

    Despite the risk of plumbism, I sincerely hope that the hammer has some lead, and Durkon says "Time to get the Led out!"

    I mean... that's basically just Mjölnir without the name. It's like the CVS Generic version of Mjölnir.

    Hell. Yes.


    It's way past time Durkon got an upgrade; good to see it finally happen. And the password is absolute gold.

    Roy has his ace weapon, as does haley and the ice bow, belkar has that psionic dagger, what about the rest? And didn't haleys bow get destroyed?

    The bow didn't get destroyed, Roy just sliced the bowstring.

    So death was dealt by Durkula, and the destruction will come from the recovered Durkon? Hmmmm.

    I concur, especially in light of the gauntlets (presumably ogre power) except if there is a rule against a Dwarf using a Large sized weapon. In which case, I submit the dwarven thrower hammer as a likely alternative.

    Am I the only one that got some seriously evil vibes from the last panel? I mean, that expression, that comment, and the dramatic lighting… Probably only aftereffects from Durkula, I mean, it's Durkon...

    Vampires, being undead, are not killed; they are instead destroyed.

    No evil vibes for me.

    It would probably be a bit off-tone, but it would be funny if they used the hammer to crack a joke about magic items that are just +X weapons. I doubt it though, especially as the comic seems to heading towards the end.

    "Wow! What does that do!"
    "Oh, it channels Thor's divine power to..."
    "Shoot lightning bolts!? Incinerate trees!? Level Mountains!?
    "... give me a +10 bonus to attack and damage rolls'
    That joke was made with respect to Roy's sword already, after it was reforged.

    I am curious why someone (not referring to you here) would think the secret lost to Durkon's people and told to him by the literal Thunder God would be merely an ordinary (if high end) item, not something specifically forged by/for Thor.

    Also, lucky coincidence it was stored in Firmament!

    Not quite a coincidence. Firmament is the location of the main temple of Thor. It makes sense that an artifact of his would be stored there.

    The hammer of Thunderbolts is an artifact, hardly an "ordinary item."

    We already know that Loki's fire burns hotter.

    I imagine the same is true for divine lightning of Thor.

    The vampires (and Xykon) may be in for a surprise.

    Mink, from Darken comic. Funnily enough, I remembered the quote, the characters and the plot, but not the actual name of the comic.

    Maybe it rocks out, flies, shoots lightning, and turns walnuts into pigeons. I know a pretty arkin' cool hammer like that.

    Unless proven otherwise my headcanon is now that, when this nefarious plot of hers is foiled, Loki will appear to Hel, conjure an illusory "destroy world" button, and proceed to perform this song, complete with dance, in front of it for her.

    Technically Blackwing got an Ioun Stone from Laurin, but V can share the effects (if close enough).
