Synopsis for "Home is Where the Heart is"

After his humiliation at the X-Men’s hands, the Norse God Loki plans revenge on them, as well as using their team mate, Storm, to replace the thunder god, Thor, and thus help secure Loki’s bid for the throne of Asgard. He orders the Enchantress to abduct Storm and her companions, unaware that those happen to be the New Mutants at the moment. Magik tries to teleport herself and her friends out of the Enchantress’ prison but, thanks to the magical wards in the place, Illyana stays behind and the others get scattered through time and space. The enchantress brings forth Magik’s dark half, gives it independent being and has it chase down the other New Mutants. Karma finds herself in a desert and intends to die, when she finds herself cast in the role of reluctant protector to a little girl. Cypher becomes a slave in a Viking meadhall. Wolfsbane meets and falls for an intelligent wolf prince but is quickly captured by the Darkchilde. Sunspot finds himself in an Asgardian tavern and befriends the Warriors Three but he, too, is eventually captured by Magik. Mirage saves a flying horse from a trap and forms a bond with the animal. She is invited by a woman named Mist to join her and her sister, who are all caretakers of those horses. After some time, Dani learns that something is odd about these women and that they want her to take part in some ceremony and flees with the horse, Brightwind. Cannonball becomes lost in the dwarf realm and befriends their king after saving the queen’s life. They are soon attacked by Dark Elves, among them Magma, whom they have brainwashed and turned into one of their own. The dwarves manage to restore Magma’s mind, though not her body, and, together with Sam, she learns that Loki is the one who has captured Storm. Warlock has an encounter with Hela, goddess of death, and goes in search of the others, just in time to save Cypher from Darkchilde’s attack. Together, they find Karma at the edge of the desert, months after she first ended up there, the strenuous trek having turned out to be the diet from hell. Joined by the other New Mutants, they face Darkchilde and her prisoners, eventually overcoming her as Karma possesses her. They attack the Enchantress next and, after the Darkchilde essence is rejoined with the imprisoned Illyana, they defeat the enchantress, imprisoning her in Limbo. The New Mutants find that several of them have unfinished business in Asgard and that they still have to fight Loki for Storm, so they decide to go back.

Notes


Trivia

  • “Midgard” is the word the Aesir use for “Earth.”
  • Remington Steele and Laura Holt were the main characters in the 80s romantic crime show, Remington Steele. It was also the role that made later James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan famous.
  • Harald, Thigvald and his love seem to be based on Popeye, Bluto and Olive Oyl (and, among the guests in Harald’s hall, one man looks suspiciously like Conan the Barbarian).
  • Longshot isn’t associated with the X-Men at this time (he is only just being introduced to the Marvel Universe at this point). Warlock turning into Longshot is just an in-joke, as this issue’s artist, Arthur Adams, and X-Men editor, Ann Nocenti, were the creative team behind the character and his limited series.
  • While it isn’t specifically mentioned within the story, Dani’s link with Brightwind is probably a result of her empathy with animals (a power she rarely displays apart from her rapport with Wolfsbane).
