OMG, my poor sweet baby! Where do I send the money?
I find the ending amusing. Future Phoenix Wolverine (because I am never not calling him that) gets sent back in time, presumably because everything went kablooey. So, if you get sent back in time, who's the very first person you'd track down (to the point where you are hunting for them through space)? I mean, Loki, obvs
. Granted, I think it's implied that future Loki (I think we can rule out the necro-sword one) helped Future Phoenix Wolverine with the plan and the time shenanigans, which is why he trusts him. But Loki's not the answer you'd get if you asked most people. A lot of them would probably give you very odd looks, especially because a decent number of folk still think he's the villain (or so it seems).
Wonder how this is going to tie into Aaron's work, especially because Future Phoenix Wolverine is in both, and Loki mentions the War of the Realms towards the end of the issue.
Also, they are the most infinity stone-less Infinity Watch, ever. I almost want to say staying that way would be more successful, since they wouldn't be gathering the damn things in one place. Has anyone ever heard of walkie-talkies? Or the fact that the person with the mind stone is psychic? Anyways...
The teaser trailer for War of the Realms didn't have any Loki in it
I kind of think he's conspicuously absent, though. That's four books he's been in that tie into War of the Realms, now that he mentioned it in this issue (Asgardians of the Galaxy, Thor, foreshadowed here and in Avengers). I mean, I'm hoping Thor gets a strong showing, and regains Mjolnir (I'd rate as highly likely), but I also hope Loki gets a strong showing, too. Maybe they both can. After all, Loki's a plotter and planner where Thor is a heavy hitter, those are two different but complimentary roles. I'm guessing they're not showing him as much because they can't put him on Malekith's side (since Loki's betrayal is all but certain), but showing him with the heroes would spoil things.
