Volstagg is a very polite man

[blackruzsa]

And Kid-Loki is still the most lovable little boy who ever came out of Asgard, even if none of the others think so.

Journey Into Mystery #623, preview on comicbookresources.

Awesome the preview, and I just love how Volstagg gets to torture Loki in a way that's really hilarious and that wouldn't be opposing the oath that he made to Thor (heck I think Thor would probably silently snicker at this whole thing). Also Loki worrying and wanting to help his big bro. never stops being cute.

Soooo how did Thor get those rams again?

[blackruzsa]

IDK I know they were from the original mythologies.

Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr from the Prose Edda. Dunno how he got them, they've just always been there.

And technically, they're not rams :) They're goats.

[ceirwyn]

The great part is Loki doesn't really mind either; he's taking it all in stride. And his innocent sincerity is just so freaking cute, he's going to grow on everyone who's around him.

[cainofdreaming]

They're kind of eternal, aren't they? You can kill them and eat them and by tomorrow morning they're waiting in front of the sky chariot again. So a better question would be how he lost them in the first place.

Why am I afraid it's in a similar fashion as how Odin got Sleipnir?

[fifthie]

Cropping panel one, using it everywhere.

[blackruzsa]

Wise.
If you ever make it into a icon, please do share it over here.

Fire breathing goats that can cross dimensions and fly across space. \

Must use them in a VS. forums someplace.

Good grief, this is tooth-rottingly adorable! Little Loki is just getting cuter and cuter, and I think he may end up growing on Volstagg in spite of his attempts at resisting it. These two are so unbelievably cute together.. I do hope we get more of them.

Volstagg and children.

God I miss Hildy.

That art is so pretty I want to hang it on my walls.

I really am loving everything about this series. Question, though: how much of his old life does kid!Loki remember? I'm a bit sketchy on the exact details of his rebirth.

[blackruzsa]

He supposedly doesn't remember a thing, but the others happily recount to him the horrible things he's done.

Good lil' Loki, he takes it all in stride because he knows that Thor is at least willing to take care of him after all that.

[selke]

I adore this art. It's just so fitting.

[blackruzsa]

Makes me wonder if they even used ink here, or just went with pencils and coloring. It looks so soft.

[sinisterlink]

I loved it in the previous issue where the Warriors Three were discussing how they didn't really want to look after Loki but they promised Thor they would protect him and Volstagg was joking around about how he could get rid of Loki by eating him because then there wouldn't be any evidence of what had happened to him.

[blackruzsa]

Oh Volstagg.... I know you can make good on that promise but unless Loki will be safe in your belly, that's not a good idea.

[kamino_neko]

Sending Roald Dahl books to Asgard was clearly a mistake.

[notactuallyauser]

This run is shaping up to be awesome. Who wants a VOLSTAGG TEAM-UP ongoing?

[janegray]

This is truly great. I know in comics Status Quo Is God, but I wish this could last forever.

Though, we have seen kid!Loki interact with Thor and the Warrior Three. Has he interacted with Balder yet?

I was wondering... If Thor and Balder are half-brothers (both sons of Odin, but with different mothers), and Loki is Thor's adoptive brother, does that make Loki Balder's brother too?

The obvious answer seems "of course". But since Balder only recently found out that he is Odin's son, and for all of his life he never suspected of being Thor's brother and was never raised as such, then the situation is much more complicated.

[blackruzsa]

I can't answer since I often confuse the actual myths with the Marvel storyline....

by the way, your icon.... it looks oddly familiar. Where from? I think I might know the artist who made that.

[ceirwyn]

Honestly, I think it will last forever. Not with Loki as a kid, but certainly with Neutral rather than Evil Loki. God of evil Loki was a problem for the believability of the comic. After all, why accept him in Asgard if he's evil? It made the Asgardians look like suckers, and fans complained a lot about that. I think this recon is to fix that. As long as Loki is balanced, it doesn't make the Asgardians look like suckers to not kill him on site.

I to really want to see Balder interact with kid Loki. And for that matter, with his evil self who is seeing all this treatment through adult eyes. It's bound to be good stuff.

[lascoden]

Balder...won't really be able to interact with anyone other then Tyr awhile. And I believe Loki played up on the fact that they were brothers, before Siege, to try and get his trust.

[proteus_lives]

Loki considered Balder his brother (or her brother at the time).

[baihu]

My earlier posts couldn't get through, odd.

But ah, when did kid-Loki get introduced? I'm now too interested in the plotline, so I'm going to check out how far back I have to go to catch up on this particular storyline.

[blackruzsa]

I believe 619 of this issue? He was a street kid con artist who turned out to be Loki reincarnated.
