Marvel tales of Asgard (previews for Journey and Might Thor)

[sherkahn]

CosmicBookNews is just cranking them out this evening.


TWO Worthy (pun intended) previews of the heroes of Asgard doing their stuff.

In Journey Into Mystery we get an untold tale of kidLoki.

And continuing with The Mighty Thor #5 as factions unite against a common enemy.





There is a disclaimer, earlier, showing that this story happens just after Loki's echo becomes Ikol.

Again, I am still shocked as to how much I am enjoying this. Even a breather from Fear Itself, and I still want to know what the God of Mischief is up to. Hmmm... why is Ikol leaving???

*************

From Mighty Thor.



Lo there do I see the shadow of GALACTUS before me.
Lo there do I see Bill's Father, and his Mother.
Lo there do I see the line of his people, back to the diner.
They bid Mighty Galactus come, GET SOME!
As the stoves of battle are smoking hot,
And a fresh can of WHOOP ASS is today's special.

Oh, yes. Loving both these series.

Kid!-Loki and Epic Cosmicness FTW.

Is kid!Loki wrong about Loki?

[blue_bolt]

I've often thought that Loki had many grand plans but that he would often do random mischief to pass the time.

Remember The Absorbing and Wrecking Crew? They were'nt complicated well thought out plots, Loki was just bored and decided to give thugs Asgardian power.

Also I have an old Thor issue where the Thermal Man is terrorizing some Frost Giants and Loki decides to take it over and use it to help said giants destroy Asgard. To be fair he did quite well and fought evenly with Thor for a bit, but even he had managed to do better all Odin had to do was snap his fingers and the Thermal Man would have been toast.

Loki's not ALWAYS Mr. ploty (ooh, can we make that his new nickname?) and his plots often backfire - LOKI ACCIDENTLY ASSEMBLED THE AVENGERS!

I think he enjoys when he plans fail almost as much as when they succeed. It's so very interesting that way.

When you're a magic wielding god of mischief, lighting a bag of poop on fire and watching your godly neighbor stomp it out for amusement can unfortunately have dire cosmic repercussions.

Oh my god this is like white chocolate sundaes that don't make you fat.
Too good to be true.

[nezchan]

I will make it my life's mission to try all white chocolate sundaes, just to find out which ones are non-fattening.

It's a mighty sacrifice, but I'm willing to dare!

oh god, the way Loki keeps elling himself that change is good is just so...nnnngh
And Odin goes all badass on Galactus? Oh my
(Somehow this actually made me wanna know more about Galactus. I only knew him from some episodes of Silver Surfer waaaaaaaaayyyy back when I was a teeny tiny geek in training)
-sits back and enjoys-

I don't think losing his temper will work out well for Odin in this struggle (though he obviously survives for the events in Fear Itself to play out). He seemed to be holding his own in a purely psychic conflict, much as Dr. Strange was able to knock Galactus into a coma back in FF #243, but I have to assume that in a contest of raw force he's vastly outmatched.

I really like Kid Loki, when it's time for him to be evil and not Kid Loki again, can we send Kid Loki off with Batgirl Steph Brown to a comics verse where everything that should be just...is, cause honestly I don't even read Marvel much and I can tell Kid Loki is refreshing.

"cause honestly I don't even read Marvel much and I can tell Kid Loki is refreshing. "

This, exactly.

Hooray for the good people of Broxton!

I love you a little bit for that little 'homage' to "The 13th Warrior". (Ngl, that speech was my fave part of the whole movie).
