This year's Loki #3 has weapons retrieval and acquisition.
The retrieval's on a Kree planet, Kava - the weapon's another piece of Loki's broken boat Naglfar.
The God of Stories, having retrieved one piece in Nidavellir, went to Kava for the second with his friends-from-Young-Avengers-times Hulkling and Wiccan in tow - he'd requested their help, since Kava was part of the Kree/Skrull Alliance.
The three of them were on the planet, in the midst of a festival that abominated a coward and revered a blessing. The coward was Ko-Mir, a hero of the Kree-Skrull War who'd seemingly broken and fled one day - and the blessing was a " private sun " that'd given warmth to the formerly cold Kava, a " migrating gas ball " trapped in the planet's orbit sometime after the slaughter the Skrulls'd visited on a Ko-Mir-less Kava.
Billy wondered where they might find the thing they were looking for - Loki suggested a look at the sun.
So Billy turned his magical gaze on it:
" It's Ko-Mir. "
The souls of the dead that made up Naglfar again narrated the making of a weapon.
They told how Ko-Mir in the past had found their temporally tossed part, and had made ' something powerful enough to deter the [Skrull] army almost upon him. '
' .. a bomb.
' A world destroyer.
' A planet shredder. '
' He made to throw us far from his world as we detonated -
' - but realized that we were not flung far enough. That we would still annihilate all life on his planet. '
So Ko-Mir lunged into the great blast - to ' hold [the Naglfar bomb] together ' with his will.
The suffering of Ko-Mir moved Billy.
They went to work.
" There was never a way. " admitted Loki.
Billy lashed out at Loki: " What have you done?! "
Restrained, Loki said " He was so glad to go, if that makes you feel any better. " without flippancy.
Loki'd contained the detonating Naglfar bomb that was Kava's sun.
" There was no way to save him. " Loki told Billy.
" That sun was a lie. "
Loki, having retrieved the second of the three broken-off pieces of Naglfar, left to retrieve the third and final one.
That one had become a weapon in the hands of one " Muck " Mulligan, who wasn't using it - but was looking for someone to use it.
Prospective criminal buyer-wielder after prospective criminal buyer-wielder had been repulsed by the weapon - Mulligan's latest prospect regarded the thing with skepticism.
Bullseye opened up " The Truth ".
He shut the book.
(This is Bullseye gaining a thing that lets him use words like he already uses physical objects.
Pagecount's 6 and a little more than half of 20 from August 2023's Loki #3.
