Marking seven years since the passing of the author’s husband, this deeply personal issue blends the Marvel Cinematic Universe with myth, memory, and meaning. From Thor’s mythic beginnings in Gylfaginning to the symbolism of the Bifrost, each piece draws allusions between superhero sagas and the real work of grief, resilience, and transformation. We follow the author into her “Stormbreaker phase,” building new tools from loss, confront Wolverine’s painful truth about power, and embrace Rocket’s unapologetic uniqueness. With humor, myth, and heart, this issue closes the chapter on old heartbreak stories, honoring the past while stepping boldly into what comes next.
