Synopsis

Thor and his companions return to Asgard only to find it occupied by Lizard people. After a brief skirmish, the lizards portray themselves as victims of another alien race, the Vrellnexians, and claim that they can help Thor to find the missing Odin. This aspect of their story is true. Odin is found, drugged and bound as a slave. Once freed by Thor, Odin tries to warn Thor, too late, that his lizard allies are the true villains.
