BALDER IS AWESOME.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Very little else needs to be said about these four pages from Thor #609.

Behold! Balder the Brave! Balder the Bright!

Suggested Tags: char: balder the brave, char: loki, char: hood/parker robbins, title: thor. event: siege, publisher: marvel comics, creator: kieron gillen, creator: billy tan



Loki is explaining his nature and why he helped Osborn when Tyr warns Balder that the men most be rallied before all is lost.




Balder sends an Asgardian text-message.









And that's how a bad-ass does it! Balder needs his own mini, stat!

Oh man. That was just smooth.

[big_daddy_d]

I would shit myself in the face of such awesomeness..and then wish that I never followed Norman into Asgard.

[falseaesop]

I think that is the only course of action the mind, any mind, would allow following that.

[zemo]

There is only one more badass than Balder in all of Asgard. Name start with a V and ends with a olstagg. >_>

[nezchan]

They need a mini together.

[nezchan]

The only reasonable response here is for all of them to look at each other and say simultaneously "that one's yours".

You know, right before the screaming and fleeing.

[proteus_lives]

They all suddenly remember,

"Hey! This isn't where I parked my car!"

Giggity-gigity-gone!

[autumn_lily]

Balder, F*** YEAH!

I want Loki/Balder fic now...I have no idea why...

[deliandra]

Because Loki is sexy. And Balder is awesome. So together they are awesomely sexy.

[icon_uk]

Something tells me that the Hood fellow didn't do his homework. The last thing anyone using the power of the Norn stones should do is fire a bullet at Balder, beloved of Karnilla, y'know, the QUEEN of the Norns...

[arilou_skiff]

Unless it was a bullet made of mistletoe.

[ghosty732]

Very awesome!!

...But what of Kelda?

[proteus_lives]

She had a touching moment with Bill's parents.

They stood between the HAMMER agents and her. She defended them. There was crying and they all loved Bill, born of Bills.

[amaniwolf]

I love Balder....but i am sad...i was deceived, it wasn't Bill in that image we saw earlier, it was Tyr. *sniff* I want Bill, son of Bills!

[proteus_lives]

He's coming. I can fucking feel it!

[shadowpsykie]

...i.... i... i think i wet myself....

[filkertom]

Okay, that really rocks. Especially the "No way."

[twigcollins]

I say thee, "way."

[midnightvoyager]

I love Loki's "RAAAAA well I don't know now that I think about it but..."

And then Baldur's like "Yeah, whatever, I'm not smart, but SHINE, BITCHES. And fuck you, Hood, you suck. Eat your own bullet. Dick."

Needs Bill rockin' in with a horde of valkyries, though.

[amaniwolf]

Word!

[nothingbutcake]

Oh, fucking ace.

[toby_wan_kenobi]

"So, nice work wrecking our home and all that... but now the time has come to remind you that WE ARE THE GODS OF THE VIKINGS. The ass-kickings that we hand out are literally the stuff of myth and legend, and you have destroyed our beloved home. The tale of the beating we are about to lay down will inspire the songs and album covers of every heavy metal band from now until the very end of time, and even when this world is passed, it will inspire countless more in the ages yet to come."

[nezchan]

I'm reminded of the time Iron Man used that Thor-killer armour, and Thor tore it off him. That's the same sort of badass all that crew should have, all the time.

Only people who should even bother them are on a level with Doom, Loki, etc.

[deliandra]

I have been a little bit out of comics in the last year, so excuse the question: Why is the issue number so high? Didn't they restart the series after Ragnarok?

[proteus_lives]

They re-started the original numbering after SI, I believe.

[punishermax]

"Verily it looks like thou has just been....

~slips on shades~

"Baldured over...."


VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY

[palabradot]

too...long...to..sig....

And Greek chicken and plum wine up the nose...ow.

[digicom]

OK, this is good.

I only wish Balder busted out his Simonson-era armor. It just looks cooler.

[citygod]

Walt is one of the very, very few who can translate Kirby into his own language.

[protogarrett]

Where is the tag for a "Fuck Yeah Moment"?

[jlroberson]

I loved the look on Balder's face when he saw the bullet. "Seriously? Oh, for Odin's sake..."

[cainofdreaming]

Balder died. Balder went to Hel. The whole Hel rose against Balder. Balder walked out of Hel.

Thou doth not fuck with Balder.

[falseaesop]

That would make a great bumper sticker.

[victory_or_death]

Is it wrong that I still find the idea of a sorcerer using handguns....weird?

I mean....Dr. Strange with a bazooka would be pure awesome. But it would be off to me somehow.

Am I the only one? It is more awesome then it seems from what I've seen here?

[midnightvoyager]

Johannes Cabal used a gun. To great effect!

Of course, Johannes Cabal was specifically a necromancer, but still.

(IIRC, it's a magic gun. Personally, I like the idea of mixing tech and magic and am a bit irked by the THEY CANNOT MIX mentality, unless there's any -reason- for it given, but that's just me.)

[jlroberson]

The Hood, proving what I've said all along: he's a pathetic jerk way in over his head.

A bullet against a god? Really, Hood? Even if it's enchanted, a BULLET? That you didn't even think to rub with, um, MISTLETOE(the only natural substance that has not sworn to avoid hurting Balder) beforehand? Loki could have given you some advice on that one. He took down Balder once with mistletoe, an arrow, and a blind man.

You stupid, stupid cosplaying fuck.

[cmdr_zoom]

I was thinking of the Balder-oath myself, yeah.

[sinisterlink]

I love Loki freaking out in the first scan. He's like, "Why do I do it? Because I'm a trickster God, IDIOTS, why wouldn't I screw up stuff all the time?"

And, "I am Loki, the fire that burns. And why does the fire burn?" Because it's hot, Loki. Just like you. *wink*

Also, I would love to see Tyr making chains of daisy-heads with the maids. Just saying.

[cmdr_zoom]

"And the scorpion said, 'It is my nature.'"

[team_mummy]

hawt

[foxhack]

What is this?

Is that... Loki expressing regret over what his actions ended up causing?

[midnightvoyager]

Actually, I take back what I said a second ago. And hate being unable to edit, but okay.

Loki breaks shit because it's fun. He does not want it to STAY BROKEN. Or to break too much. He wants the heroes to fix it. That is their Job. But then they fail and he's like "Damnit, you let me break my toys!"

[colonel_green]

That's the first time I can ever recall him actually doing anything light-related.

[tacobob]

Wait..What's that thing the Wrecker has in his hands in the last panel? It's too skinny and too small to be his crowbar..Wait a second! That's my favorite back scratcher! That SOB! He took my back scratcher to Asgard! GAH!
