Lucky Loki.

Sorry, I couldn't resist to say it.

[thanekos]

Mephisto got the popcorn, but he didn't know it was going to be this type of going-on..

[tacitoz]

I only know Mephitso from JIM 624 and he doesn't look like the type to turn that down. (on another note, how classy is he, zombie!slaves in combination with A BOWTIE)
mmmm popcorn

[shadowpsykie]

i don't get it... oh i get the Gaga reference... but nit the image i guess... is that Hel?

[tacitoz]

As far as I know, yes.

[abriel]

Not it's not. It's a girl named Leah who was just introduced in 624. Her relationship to Hela isn't clear but for some reason she's living in Hela's palace.

Still would be ultra-creepy if she turned out to be Hela's daughter or something like that.

[sherkahn]

No, it's not Hela, it's her assistant. Leah. (who looks like a young Scarlett Johanssen with black hair)

[akodo_rokku]

That is "Leah" (yes, anagram of Hela) who seems to have just appeared out of nowhere in #624. I'm assuming she's a budded off part of Hela, maybe a consequence of what she had to do in the last arc that involved Hel (basically merging herself with her fortress to maintain it).

[khaosworks]

No, it's not - it's a servant/ally of Hela's named Leah.

[sigmund_droid]

Thank for posting! everything looks in order!

[rezonantshine]

La-la, Ah-ah-ah. La-la, Ooh-Luh-Loki. Loki, ooh-la-la... Want your bad romance.

[abriel]

If it is Hela though Loki will have some competition, considering Hela and Tyr came very close to making out in this past issue.

[schala_kid]

I was squicked when I thought it was Hela the first time but after reading #624 I was relieved to see it was just a girl named Leah.

Also love her dress and wicked cool hair.

[icon_uk]

Considering I first assumed that that was female-Loki and male-Loki in a tryst, I'm not sure that Hela is a step up, or a step down, the squick scale... I'm guessing down.

[tacitoz]

...is it wrong that I find the idea of femLoki/Loki not appalling at all?
(also apparently it's leah and not Hela. according to general consensus sadly not captain obvious, he sits in a corner, crying because nobody loves him anymore )

[salinea]

Narcissism/Sex-with-your-own-clone is wayyyyyyy down from parent/children incest on the squick scale, I'll have you know!

[cypherfdp]

Does Lady Loki having sex with her younger male self count as pedophilia or selfcest? Or both?

[arilou_skiff]

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!

[blackruzsa]

We're assuming its Hel, but is it really?
And okay, Lady Gaga panders to my interests. As well as a very pretty cover.
I believe shameless teasing for kid!Loki is afoot.

[proteus_lives]

I'm enjoying Journey Into Mystery.

[crabby_lioness]

It's surprisingly enjoyable. I was describing the story to dh and he called it Gaiman-light. High praise.

[valismedsen]

Is the Hela from the Marvel Universe the daughter of Loki? I believe she isn't, but can't say for sure.
I think that parentage is only true for Norse Mythology.

[abriel]

Marvel has kind of gone back and forth on the whole parentage thing. Depending on who is writing it's been acknowledge that Hela is Loki's daughter but then you turn around and they don't act like they're related at all and the whole parentage issue is dismissed. So there really is no clear definition.

[bruinsfan]

I believe they acknowledged they were father and daughter in the JMS story where Hela helps send Loki back in time.

[terrykun]

These two are already reminding me of Amadeus/Delphyne.

I approve.
