The Mighty Thor

 I cannot go home, my son. I cannot go to Valhalla... I tried. When my spirit passed, I walked to the gates of Valhalla... to find my brothers, my father... the gates... they were open, Thor. They were broken. The great halls... empty. Not a soul remained. Son... I'm here because I need you. Because I have nowhere else to go... Valhalla... is gone. 
Odin

Synopsis for "The Second Son of Asgard"

Thor presides over the funeral for his father Odin, reading from the Book of Kings. In attendance are a gathering of some of the most powerful beings in the universe along with both allies and even some enemies. After reading from the Book, Thor calls for the bow and arrow that have been created for the sole task of igniting Odin's funeral pyre. But Thor can't bring himself to do it, and asks Loki to instead and Loki agrees. He fires the arrow, igniting the pyre in space which creates a second sun for Asgard. Later, back in his chambers, Odin speaks to Thor through Mjolnir. Thor demands to know why Odin is still haunting him and Odin tells him he can't move on because Valhalla is empty and gone.
