| The Mighty Thor #417 (MAY 1990) |
The sixth appearance of everybody's favorite lightning slinging Celt, is in a back-up story from The Mighty Thor #417. (For Leir's previous appearances, see here)
At this time, Asgard was adrift in the Negative Zone, consequently obstructing passage from Asgard to Midgard (i.e., the realm of Earth). In the Golden Realm, the Lady Sif pines away for her beloved Thor (who is on the other side of this dimensional barrier).
In Avalon, the Celtic gods have learned of the Asgardians' inter-dimensional wanderings; and the reader learns that Leir has, "fallen (swollen) head over heels" for Sif. Somehow or other, the Tuatha de Danaan open a portal to Asgard, which Leir promptly charges through in order to claim his "chosen" wife.
 |
| I'm curious how that was pulled off. If Asgard is inaccessible from earth, I would've expected it to be cut off from Avalon as well. Maybe Dagda is way more powerful than I realize. |
Leir shows up outside Sif's chambers, pompously announcing the great honor and joy she ought to feel at having been "chosen" to be his bride.
While Leir's busy with Sif, Caber (who, like any good wingman, has followed his buddy through the portal in the vain attempt to keep him out of trouble) has gotten into a stand-off with the Warriors Three. The only thing that saves the fleet-footed Celt is the timely arrival of the now-happily(?) engaged couple!
