  • There are two sides to every story. You've heard Thor's - now it's time to hear Loki's! Odin's least favorite son rewrites Asgardian lore from his perspective, featuring the breathtaking painted artwork of Esad Ribic (SECRET WARS). In this tale, Loki's insatiable lust for power will take on new meaning - as will his conflicted sentiments toward Sif, his antipathy toward Balder and his deep-seated feelings of longing and resentment toward his older brother Thor and uncaring father Odin.

    Funny, I ended up buying this comic on Kindle a couple of weeks ago, watched the first episode of Loki earlier today, reread Loki afterwards, then got a notification about a new Back Issues for Loki! Pretty freaky.
    Or Froki, if you will.

      I was suprised how related these books were to it, The first episode of Loki is basically the lesson Loki learns in this book, but from a completely different perspective. But there's no way they could have known that when they recorded and edited this video

      Loki also gave birth to the midgard serpent, and a horse, after turning into a female horse to distract an actual male horse.

    • @miy1925hassun
      @miy1925hassun 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think this was also true in comics until Gillen retconned it. Though with Ragnarok cycles and all that, it should be safe to say that Hela has been Loki’s actual daughter at one point at least as, in Roy Thomas’ run, it was explained that Norse Gods experience changes after each Ragnarok. Our world’s mythology is actually canon to the Marvel Universe, complete with Thor’s red hair but after Ragnarok, they became the way we know them as in the comics. Also, considering another Ragnarok happened (in 2006 or so written by Michael Avon Oeming, supposed to be the final one but you never know), it’s possible that Hela was still Loki’s daughter until after that Final Ragnarok.

  • @haasztamas
    @haasztamas 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Loki cutting Sif's hair off is actually a callback to Norse myth where he does the same thing. That's a really cool detail I did not think would be incorporated into this book! Neat!

I think it would answer a lot of problems that people have been asking for over the years and allow us to have all the stories we have wanted.
