There was a lot to dislike about Secret Empire as an event, but at least this side story explaining why Stevil Rogers was waving Mjolnir around and Jane was nowhere to be found during the event in the pages of Avengers reminded us what a boss she was as Thor. No hammer in sight, Jane grabbles with a lightning-breathing demon named Yod, taking his breath in her hands literally and then using it to beat Yod to near-death. Once again: god damn, Jane.
