THE LIAR, CHAPTER TWO
The past can never just stay buried, can it? Loki’s turn at playing “good guy” has been interrupted by the resurgence of relics from his nefarious past. Now that he’s set sail on his ship made of fingernails, he tracks the first of these to the destroyed Nidavellir—where the relic has been crafted into a devastatingly powerful weapon that the dwarves are warring over. And as a bonus: A pair of unexpected Marvel fan-favorites appear to clean up past Loki’s mess!
