* ArcWords: "The wheel has turned."
* ContinuityNod:
** Not the first Ewing-penned story to have JerkassGods declaring that "the wheel has turned".
** Thor is dubious about Loki's claim they can fix the Bifrost, given what happened ''last time'' in Cates's run.
** The Utgard-gods and Gaea discuss the time Ulik replaced a temporarily dead Thor as "Tanarus", just after ''Fear Itself''.


Added DiffLines:

* DarkWorld: Utgard, the non-realm, and home to darker gods.


Added DiffLines:

* TheManBehindTheMan: The one who unleashes the Utgard gods is [[spoiler:Gaea]], even though by her own words she was the one who sealed them away to begin with.

Added DiffLines:

* StatusQuoIsGod: Explored, as is often the case with Ewing's work. The first issue has Loki and Thor restore the Bifrost Bridge after it was destroyed back in Cates' run, but Loki's narration makes it clear this will not be without a heavy cost.
* StealthHiBye: Loki does this twice in issue 1. First they pop up just after Thor's defeated Skyrmir and the Warriors Four are wondering where Loki is, and again after they fix the Bifrost and Thor tries to thank them.
