Continued from last issue...The Mighty Thor #133
Leaving the Black Galaxy, Thor and the Recorder are picked up by the Rigellians, who agree to free the Earth following Thor's battle with Ego the Living Planet. They set a course for Earth before they cross paths with the planet devourer known as Galactus. They arrive on Earth and locate Tana Nile who has been attempting to wrest control of the Earth for Colonization. The Rigellian's take Tana into their custody and lead her away, however Thor questions the alien about the location of Jane Foster, to which Tana admits she sent Thor's love away, but to points unknown to her. Before the Rigellian's leave, they give Thor a Psyche-Search Gauge to help him track down Jane.
Meanwhile, in a European country, Count Tagar, Porga and Jane Foster are on their way to the mountain citadel of a man known as the High Evolutionary. Along the way they are attacked by a group of armed mercenaries who are trying to get access to the High Evolutionary's inventions. In spite of their best efforts, Tagar and Porga manage long enough to be rescued by the Evolutionary's defenders, the Knights of Wundagore.
Thor arrives shortly there after and finds the battle ravaged soldiers and follows after Jane's trail. He soon finds himself confronted by the Knights as well, however he allows them to capture him and take him into the High Evolutionary's citadel. Inside, he is shocked when one of the Knights removes his helmet revealing that they are highly evolved humanoid animals.
The High Evolutionary begins a new evolution experiment in which he begins advancing the evolution of a wolf. The energy output of which is visible from the land below the mountains and is spied upon by Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch (who have been in the area attempting to recharge their mutant abilities while on a leave of absence from the Avengers.)
Inside the citadel, the Evolutionary's experiment begins advancing the wolf it's full evolutionary potential when he is interrupted by Thor who has come bursting in demanding he be brought to Jane Foster. Not wishing to fight, the High Evolutionary points Thor to a classroom where Jane is teaching the Ani-Men and the lovers are reunited.
This distraction however leaves the High Evolutionary's experiment unattended and the wolf is not only evolved to it's full lupin potential, but it's human potential as well, mutating it into the hate filled Man-Beast. The Man-Beast then begins stalking the halls of the High Evolutionary's citadel, coming upon Jane and Thor. Sensing the beasts evil, Thor warns Jane to brace herself for attack.

Thor and the Warriors Three have been dispatched to the realm of Nastrond, home of an evil race that once incurred the wrath of Odin himself long ago, to inspect the creatures effect on the land that they have been banished to.
The four warriors find a desolate and wasted world that is both harsh and cruel. That night as they camp out, Volstagg is awoken by a wise old man who convinces the rotund warrior into following him into a dark cavern. There Volstagg is led to a radiant pool of energy. When Volstagg cowers in fear of it's power, he leaves himself open for the old man, who transforms into his true form, that of the dragon lord Fafnir.
Fafnir takes Volstagg his hostage, and vows to finally get revenge against Odin and all of Asgard.

««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
* If we sell something in NEW condition, we expect it back in NEW condition!
* If you opt not to take pictures of your potential returns, you WILL BE held liable for any damages that were caused during the return shipping, unless the shipping service admits to, or it is otherwise obvious that damage was caused during return shipping.
* We will need to inspect the item(s) in order to match up any serial number(s), or part numbers, etc.
* And we will need to inspect for any damage to your returned item(s) before we can release your refund!

NOTE: *(DOA Insurance ONLY APPLIES to electronics, PCs, computer components, etc.)
*In the event an item is DOA, we would first attempt to send an exact replacement. If we do not have an exact replacement, we will then offer you a replacement item of equal value and of approximate or equal function. (i.e., If you receive a GPU and it is DOA, we are not going to offer you a PlayStation or a Power Supply as a replacement. However, in the event we cannot offer an exact replacement, nor could we find a suitable secondary replacement - we would give you the option to have the DOA item replaced by anything in our inventory if it is of equal value and if you approve of it. Lastly, if there is nothing in our inventory that would suffice as a fair and reasonable replacement, and we are unable to come to some type of arrangement, then we would go ahead and offer a full refund.

Matty's Virtual Variety | Returns Policy: Pt II (Comics Policy)
__________________________________________________
* We would provide you with an identical issue (if possible.)
* Or we will submit you with a refund if a suitable replacement is not available. (Buy may be responsible for some or all return shipping!)
NOTE: We handle this kind of situation at our discretion, based on the circumstances, and on a per/order level, either way, you're covered against damages [DURING SHIPPING] which render the book in significantly worse condition than as described in listing!
(i.e., if a comic is in a solid 9.0, I would still intentionally list it as an 8.5 - just to be on the safe side of the inherent subjectivity that exists within the grading spectrum from one individual to the next.)
contact us ASAP so we can resolve these issues!
Disclaimer:
While we do our best when grading RAW comics, and while we are very consistent and confident at assigning an approximate grade on any of comics that we may sell; we are not licensed or certified professional graders. Unless you're purchasing a CGC/CBCS Slab that has been professionally graded, none of the grades we've assigned (specifically for your reference) are guaranteed! Due to the inherent subjectivity that exists from one collector to another, and the possibility (no matter how rare) of human error the grades that we've assigned (in addition to the scans/pics we upload w/ each listing) are merely to provide you with an approximation/estimation of what kind of grade one could expect to receive if they were to submit the comics to CGC for grading!
