I can only imagine that for someone who read Thor, but not the Balder the Brave miniseries, at the time his appearance might have seemed a little off-putting. One thing that it would have done is set up the prominence of Utgard-Loki as a character at the end of the run. Not sure that it would have been better or worse, but I think it would have been possible. Flashing sideways to Balder and his adventures for a few pages an issue, over a larger number of issues (reworking the chronology as necessary) in a Claremontesque fashion. One thing I wonder is how this material would have worked if Simonson had integrated it into his Thor run as an ongoing subplot (lengthening the run to allow this). Our hosts commented that Balder is maybe not as compelling a figure as Thor or Sif, because he’s such an uncomplicatedly good guy. Is this meant to be Gerd’s revenge for Skirnir’s nasty and unpleasant methods of persuasion in the Poetic Edda? There’s this whole story here that we’re not getting, which seems to be Simonson’s imagined continuation of the story of the courtship of Gerd from the Eddas.

And the caption boxes, combined with Skirnir’s vulnerable pose, seem very ominous: “But although the sword made its wearer unconquerable in battle… it did not bestow protection against guile and subtlety.” It’s not made explicit, but I think this hints that Gerd takes the sword and kills Skirnir with it?

Balder has the ability to create intense, hot blasts of light, manipulate light to appear invisible, and create clouds of mist. – The opening backstory for the sword is fascinating.
