Review/plot:
The Asgardians return home to find that Asgard is already populated with Asgardians. It turns out to be the work of Igron, a wizard henchman that Loki banished to the Trolls a while back. You'd think he'd want vengeance on Loki but he's taking it out on Asgard.

The story plays off the idea that if God didn't exist, man would have to invent him. Igron taps into that concept to create his duplicate gods. Even that isn't enough to duplicate Mjolnir, though.

Meanwhile, a goddess(?) named Krista finds a magical guitar pick.

And the trouble in Rigellian space continues. It's a good thing Tana Nile is in the cast.
