I always thought Loki would be a hard character to draw for. You want him slim, but how slim is too slim? It used to just be how ugly you wanted him, but now the concern is for his age, his looks, his weight and everything.
I liked the part with the construction workers, I just think there could have been a little less of it. However, this issue was clearly something of a filler issue. It's purpose was to get us from point A to B.
Well, like the other poster said, people reacted the same way when Thor was getting beaten by Angela. Fans just really don't like seeing their favorite character taken down so easily. And Doom is practically the fifth member of the FF, so of course fans don't mind him taking up an issue since he's so tied to the team anyways.
True, it really feels like while he wants her to save him, he also doesn't want her harmed. It's a big step from old Loki, who wouldn't care for the people involved in his plans so much.
