In the issue, Daredevil is still wielding Heimdall’s sword as several heroes try and bring down Laufey, King of the Frost Giants. Daredevil takes the sword and hurls it towards Laufey’s head, though he easily dodges it. As it ricochets off the ice though it heads into Laufey’s mouth, though Laufey just swallows it and shakes off the pain.

The heroes don’t understand why Daredevil gave away their one advantage, and Laufey continues to knock them back, though they get some help from Thor (Jane Foster). As Laufey is recovering from a direct hit from the hammer to his eye, his stomach starts to bleed and magic radiates from the wound until a blast of power explodes from within Laufey.

Stepping out of the stomach is none other than Loki, who has seen better days but is holding Heimdall’s sword, which he used to cut his way out. Loki emerges and says “What’s the matter, Father? Was it something you ate?”

Fans will remember that towards the beginning of the series Laufey ate his son, a grisly death to be sure. It seems the did chew Loki up a bit, as magic swirls around his arm and legs where there doesn’t seem to be human bones or skin, though perhaps that is only a temporary effect.

In any case, it’s good to have Loki back, and you can check out the spoiler image above.
