Asgardians of The Galaxy Appreciation Redux....I'm bringing it back...

[Chris0013]

As the old one was closed I am opening this one. I love the series for many reasons but the big one is this....even though many of these characters have been around for a while...they are not the A team of supers (Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Spidey, Wolverine). Just a bunch of Asgardian and Asgardian adjacent characters brought together...and for me it works.

The personalities both mesh and conflict at times depending on the circumstances. Thunderstrike just trying to strike up a conversation with Annabelle about her GF and getting dissed to Thunderstrike trying to get to Annabelle to protect her while escaping the Nova Corp before Kid Loki hacked and jacked the Nova Helmet for her. Skurge as the wise old warrior being something of a mentor to Thunderstrike. Kid Loki up to his shenanigans...but the sorrow he seemed to project before disappearing. And don't even get me started on Throg: Frog of Thunder....even he works and does not come off as silly to me.

With the War of Realms coming to an end....will this last beyond the event??

I thought it was a fun book, and wish it could continue longer, but I suspect the WotR arc is the end for it. I guess we'll know for sure when the solicits for August hit, but with their ship's power source confiscated, half of one team member removed from the equation (i know Annabelle was the one Loki said he was recruiting, but still. I suspect she will want to spend time on Earth with Ren) and all, it's not looking like they're really going to be able to do much in the wider galaxy.

But maybe it could be brought back as a new Defenders or something.

Also, still waiting to see what part the Naglfar Armada will play in WotR. It just feels like a Chekov's Gun, and i can't see them not using it in the event, somehow.

I’m wondering if it’ll Be relaunched with Thor at the helm... movie synergy?

I don't think the book has been particularly strong, and I didn't really see it making it to more than two volumes anyways, but it did have enjoyable moments, and I was glad to see someone making use of Skurge and Angela.

Sure, the book could continue, but without Kid Loki or Valkyrie it's an even harder sell. Thunderstrike and Throg are hardly gonna pull in readers. If they attached Sif & Beta Ray Bill to the roster it might have a better chance.

Bills kind of busy right now...

What is going to suck is that if/when this ends...no one is going to pick up these characters and someone is going to say "Skurge needs to go back to rando-basic villain".

I've actually really enjoyed this book, much more than I thought I would. The character interactions have really been exciting and interesting and compelling. I am a little put off by the movie synergy, but that won't hamper my enjoyment of this book. I hope that it will continue beyond WoR, but I suspect not.

Skurge is originally from Jotunheim, right? well, lit's looking like Loki's book will take place at least partially in Jotunheim, because he will be king there, so maybe Skurge can show up there as part of the supporting cast. But in general yeah most of these characters will be falling into limbo, I don't think we will be seeing Thunderstrike or Throg again any time soon. Tho Angela looks to be showing up in the new weekly Avengers book.
