The God of Mischief lives up to his name. IGN has the preview. So far it looks like a well written take on the character. Two separate pages from the preview behind the cut.



Loki has just finished his mystic chat with Loki, and said that "Loki remains Loki."
And it bugs the heck out of the God of Mischief.


Emo Loki has a point, and that scene shows subtle depth that we've had hinted at in Loki during the Planet X alternative Earth saga.

But he's trying to go about it the wrong way, as he will have nothing to rebuild from. Then again...

*From The Mighty Thor #586, 2004


Looks like Loki has learned, but is applying the lessons incorrectly.


*****
Another preview cut.


Now there is the scoundrel we know and love, true to form.

Remind me, who or what are the ones who seek dead gods?

I loved what happened to Loki in Earth X, and that self-aware version of him(/her), but that seems sort of an end-point for the character. Still, as a motivation it's pretty neat, especially the underlying irony of trying to break out of his "Loki" role through devious, conniving and entirely Loki-y means.

And again woot of Gillen Mckelvie, as they refer to the single entity that does their collaborative work. Although depressing to see the Newsarama lot decry the art, just because it's not 100% Marvel house style. It really pissed me off when that happened with Gillen's SWORD as well, which pretty much didn't make it because of conservative art tastes, as far as I can tell.
