The dragon from issue 341 returns on the rampage in "If I Should Die Before I Wake...!", script and art by Walter Simonson; Fafnir is in New York on a rampage, screaming for the Son of Odin, and begins destroying buildings; Elsewhere, Lorelei is wondering where Thor is; But Thor is unaware of what's going on because he's in Antarctica with Eilif; Thor tells him that he is proud of his reckless courage, but the granting of Valhalla is beyond him; Only Odin and the Valkyries can decide who sits in that realm; But Thor tells him that for old times sake, he will take Eilif's fate in his hands; For Fafnir awaits him in New York and he would take Eilif with him; Thor then calls to Odin to grant him a sign that Eilif be his shield bearer; After half an hour, out of nowhere, flies Cloud rider's and Thor's own chariot pulled by Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder; In Asgard, Karnilla is furious at what Loki has done to Balder.
