Loki: Agent of Asgard #3 - "Your Life Is a Story I've Already Written"

[arbre_rieur]

'How the truth can hurt -- and how it can be used as a weapon -- is a theme that seems so obvious now that I can't believe I didn't intend to have it in there from the start. I mean, In "Loki: AoA" the truth is literally a sword, for goodness' sake. I have no idea where my mind was.' -- Al Ewing



Old Loki travels back in time to the Old Realms, where he becomes the traveling companion of a young Odin and gets him into a blood feud with some innkeepers.













One day, the hero Sigurd stays the night at Regin's inn, and the two make a deal:



Sigurd slays Fafnir, and Bram, having been plunged through the dragon's truth-magicked blood, gains the power to pierce any lie.

I've seen that designation - recoilless - with some rocket launchers. Always found it weird tho, since it kinda goes without saying. There's no back to the tube which would take the brunt of the blast, so it's recoilless by nature.
