Sounds more like this is a tongue-in-cheek one shot, similar to the ones we got for Immortal Hulk?
What did people this of todays issue?
Still debating trade/omnibus-waiting this one.
I still feel like the “new” Loki is a bit much design-wise. Not really sure what they’re going for.
“I am the Loki that will end you” - Well, maybe with the pure cringe of his younger years. Otherwise I don’t buy it.
Kid Loki cameo!
This pre-humility and younger Thor was handled better than Aaron’s Young Thor in my opinion. Similar sensibilities but Aaron could be so crass and excessive it just came off as too much. We also have a more self-reflective and earnest Thor who emphasizes how much he’s changed.
How long has Loki been waiting for that apology…
Nice to see the sons of Odin on a bit of a bro quest and getting into hijinks.
Loki and Thor aren’t the only ones recounting this story. What does Agger and Enchantress want with Thor’s backstory in comic form?
This latest issue reminded me of a question I've had about Loki. He originally was depicted as having a blond ponytail. Was that part of his headpiece, or did he originally have blond hair?
I only started really following Thor after the book was rebooted with J. Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel post-Ragnarok. I don't know if Loki had ever been shown without his helmet before Ragnarok. After Ragnarok, I know he came back in Sif's body, which is why Lady Loki had black hair, and then Loki afterwards had black hair.
Of course, since Loki is a shape-shifter, it doesn't really matter. I'm just curious if he'd always had black hair or if the JMS-relaunch and then the movies changed the default from blond to black.

This run is "OK" thus far.
Despite a few issues I had with Cates, I enjoyed Cates run' more than this (seven issues in that is).
That's not to say the run is bad but I am not fully invested yet.
Character-wise, I agree but as a complete arc, I enjoyed Cates a lot more.
Ewing (going by his Loki stuff) is going to go deep into the "gods are stories, legends etc" route which can be interesting but also a little frustrating.
I'm not going to judge yet but I suspect that's where Ewing is going with this.
I missed why they made Loki into a female, and then into the kid and even the image on the left of that page--"TV/movie Loki". Why did Marvel do that?
I like Loki's classic look.

Like a Red Dragon, The Phoenix shall Soar in 2024!
Just going to say...and in spite of my Signature...anything with Greg Land on it is an absolute "no buy".
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
