OK, so he doesn't realise she's not an Earth girl and is actually Lorelei - younger sister of Amora the Enchantress. At least there's good news for Balder the Brave who's finally about to have his revenge on Loki for killing him during the last RAGNAROK...
The tie-ins for this story largely involve the sudden snowfall unleashed by the Casket of Ancient Winters and don't really reflect any other aspect of the story, such as the demon invasion. You can largely drop the tie-ins and appreciate the story, but it's fun to see how other Marvel Universe titles took part!
MCG Note: The issues marked with an asterisk are the essential chapters of 'The Surtur Saga'. If you don't want to read every tie-in and only want to pick up those key chapters, they're the issues to go for.
See how this event fits into these characters' overall story:
Thor #344 *
Balder the Brave is struggling with the fact that he was killed by Loki and kept in a half-death state by Odin (during RAGNAROK) which has lead to him piling on the pounds to go with his whitened hair. Queen Karnilla of the Norns has let him live with her since he removed himself from Asgard. Geri (one of Odin's giant wolves) summons him back to Asgard to take a message to Loki, the man who murdered him. Balder makes his way to Loki's castle where he finds the villain fraternising with Malekith the Accursed, the Dark Elf. Balder breaks his vow of non-violence and beheads Loki while Malekith teleports away. When he leaves, Loki picks his head up and puts it back on. On Earth, Thor's been busy making a life for himself as construction worker Sigurd Jarlson, not realising his supposedly human girlfriend, Melodi, is really the duplicitous Asgardian Lorelei.
