Synopsis for "The Sacred and the Profane: Part III"

Valkyrie/Jane Foster is honoring Heimdall's dying wish that she ferry him to a land of the dead that is not Valhalla but something different. Jane allows the Valkyrie part of her take over and, both astride her winged horse, fly to the moon. From there she uses the magic in her all weapon Undrjarn to open a portal into the space between realities and ends up in Heven, where the queen had recently been killed during the War of the Realms, and the remaining angels, valuing wealth above all else, battle for all remaining treasure.

All the female angels try to attack Jane but she uses Undrjarn to form golden wings and escapes downward, calling for Heimdall upon the horse to follow her. Part of her powers is godlike knowledge, which downloads into her brain as fast as she needs it, allowing her to speed through the Under-Heven, where the male population has at last found a disused afterlife for their feminine counterparts. She and Heimdall pass through - into Hades itself.

Forsaken when the Greek gods died and were reborn elsewhere, Hades boasts a giant Anti-Tree, the shadow opposite of Yggdrasil. Its half-dead, rotting master sends wretched Hell-creatures after Jane, but as the Asgardian inside her seems to take full charge, she orders Heimdall to seek safety by the tree, but he disobeys and is attacked by the creatures. Jane, speeding towards the tree, calls the horse to her, and all attempt to break through the Abyss - the hole in the center of the tree. Though both experience excruciating pain and Heimdall is about to give in to it, Jane orders him to fight through it.

Finally they emerge into another realm, the Far Shore - the farthest point of all life and death. And upon Jane's query, Heimdall avers that this is what he wants as his final destination. The god of seeing now sees everything and he is at peace. With a blinding flash of light, Jane and horse are returned to the skies of New York.

As she reunites with her horse, she is surprised when it speaks to her for the first time, something she didn't realize it could do. He insists he's not a posh kind of horse like the others and he didn't speak before, having been forced to attack her and all, but she can just call him Horse, or Mr. Horse if she's a mind to. After assuring him she's not injured she accepts him as partner and just wonders how he's going to fit in her apartment.

From an undisclosed location, the Grim Reaper watches a news alert about the new Valkyrie, and though he's unhappy that his agent Bullseye failed to killl her, now that Heimdall, the god of seeing, is dead, nobody will see him come for her.

Solicit Synopsis

VALKYRIE TAKES A BELOVED FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY OF THEIR AFTERLIFE!

When a longstanding Marvel character dies at the hands of Bullseye, Jane Foster must accept her new role and carry them to the world beyond. But she is not the Valkyrie of the past — nor is Bullseye’s victim any ordinary hero. Valhalla is only one hall of the dead. The multiversal afterlife awaits.
