Written by Chris Claremont with art by Art Adams, this annual is notable for its epic scope, the transformation of Storm to a Goddess of Thunder with the first appearance of her hammer Stormcaster and the way it weaves the X-Men into the mythological realm of Asgard. The story begins with the X-Men, along with their allies the New Mutants, being mysteriously transported to the realm of Asgard, home of the Norse gods. They find themselves scattered across this strange and ancient world, each facing unique challenges and transformations due to the mystical nature of Asgard. Storm, the leader of the X-Men, is enchanted by the dark sorceress Loki, who offers her the power of the Thunder God, intending to make her the new Goddess of Thunder. Tempted by the power but conflicted by its cost, Storm's internal struggle becomes a central theme of the story. Wolverine and Nightcrawler also play significant roles, with Wolverine reveling in the freedom and warrior spirit of Asgard, while Nightcrawler finds himself in a classic swashbuckling adventure, befriending the enigmatic Enchantress. The New Mutants, including characters like Illyana Rasputin (Magik) and Danielle Moonstar, experience their own Asgardian trials. Danielle, in particular, discovers her connection to the Valkyries, the warrior maidens who serve the Norse gods. As the story unfolds, the X-Men must navigate the treacherous politics and battles of Asgard, ultimately confronting Loki and his schemes. The team faces moral dilemmas, tests of character, and the ever-present danger of being trapped in Asgard forever. In the climax, the X-Men and New Mutants unite to thwart Loki?s plan, with Storm rejecting the godlike power he offers, reaffirming her commitment to her humanity and leadership. The issue concludes with the X-Men returning to Earth, forever changed by their experiences in Asgard.
