[sherkahn]

The Exiled adventure continues. And the God of Mischief continues to show he's a dashing rogue. ComicBookResources has the preview.

Two behind the cut.





"Their make-out-fu was strong"..... gotta use that one in real life.



Awww man, where is Leah to shut down Loki at a time like this?

So far, so good, Exiled is working just fine for me.

Awww man, where is Leah to shut down Loki at a time like this?

Good question. Better question: Where is Leah with her magic which Li'l Loki doesn't have to wrinkle her nose and get them out of this mess. At the moment he doesn't even have Ikol to give him clues.

[shadowpsykie]

okay.... so when did this all happen? during the "Terrorism Theory" story arch? why is Loki there? how many asgardians were hit... and i was never clear on why Lil Loki doesn't have magic...

[norj]

Big Loki wanted his younger self to use hid wit not his magic to survive.

[sherkahn]

Now that I think about it, the spell Sigurd used is similar in effect to what oldLoki did to himself to become kidLoki.

[shadowpsykie]

hmm clever....

[crabby_lioness]

L'il Loki was brought up a street kid and has never studied magic. He really needs to find a teacher someday, but who wants all the blame for that?

[sherkahn]

KidLoki knows magic (its how he met his older self and received Ikol), he just doesn't have the actual power source to tap to use it like Leah and Daimon Hellstorm do.

[shadowpsykie]

so.... what does that mean? he needs something like the staff of one, or a focus to use magic?

[sherkahn]

or the Norn stones. Yeah.

[shadowpsykie]

so he technically still has the potential for magic?

[sherkahn]

KidLoki knows magic, its how he was able to meet his older self.

[ladydouji]

Hmm wasn't that meeting something set up by Old!Loki. Laying out a mystery and a series of clues and puzzles for Kid!Loki to follow. I'm not sure how much of it was Kid!Loki knowing magic, or just following the clues.

[shadowpsykie]

hey Nate's wearing a shirt....

[norj]

That's how you know something is wrong with reality.

Win! :)

Have to say I'm slightly distracted by the non-cadaverous looking Captain Smartass Doug here... and his rather eccentric, if stylistically assertive, jumper.

[dr_archeville]

Doug "bogarting" the story = his "understand" power now lets him tap into something like the Akashic Records, and just know stuff?

[icon_uk]

Perhaps closer to a lie detector, he knows that's what's being said isn't communicating the truth of things, and is picking up echoes of what should be being said?

[dr_archeville]

Ooh, I like that.

[norj]

That would be awesome and Marvel needs to deal with more non-Asgardian mythology.

[crabby_lioness]

I love the (Yeah. Don't even ask. Just accept it.) narrative box. How often does Marvel need those?

[norj]

Often
