Review/plot:
I have doubts that anyone really hoped that the recently introduced pantheon of Celtic gods would take off as a franchise, so i'm not looking for any ulterior motives for this story (except i guess to fill eight pages of Marvel Comics Presents, but Marvel didn't seem to have any problem doing that).
A disappearing troll leads Leir to the Fomorians. But the Druid Dagda casts Insect Swarm, ending Leir's battle before he can kill anyone.
Later, Dagda explains why.
And that, without a doubt, was a story that lasted eight pages.

I wonder if Leir is the most obscure character to get a MCP feature?
I knew who Leir was as I had been buying Thor at the time, and it had not been so long since Leir appeared in the Set Wars. Other characters in MCP who hadn't appeared in comics for a while - say Shamrock or American Eagle - were new to me at the time.
