When is a door not a door? When it’s a jar. Ahahahahahaha I presume you, like me, first heard that joke in your childhood. You probably also heard “You make a better door than a window,” meaning yo…

this article at Sesquiotica on the word ajar made me think of Loki: Agent of Asgard and the image of the closed door at the end of Journey Into Mystery.

hey can some one give me the panel where its like verity asks loki about shapeshifting and he goes “i can only shapeshift into me” or something?

[viciousfish]

there’s this conversation with Lorelei from Loki: Agent of Asgard #5:

and this conversation with Verity in Loki: Agent of Asgard #2:

I hope this helps!

[viciousfish]

this amuses me so much.

CAMELOT!

[viciousfish]

so many obvious jokes in the notes! obvious jokes that I’m not making. jokes related to old people media. I am very cool, you see. ;)

[viciousfish]

trust them when they say they’ll lie to you

what they said: Ewing: Loki has a beautiful bottom and we'll be seeing plenty of it. Ewing: Loki has a very nice bum and we want to show it off. Ewing: My promise to you, dear readers — we will always, always lie to you. Garbett: Honest! what they delivered:

(I loved this series very much and am sad not to be getting more Loki stories from them. I guess this is how I’m dealing with it. x__X)

this year’s version of this. ;P (Comic Sans was used on purpose because lazy and trollish.) art from Young Avengers #3 by Jamie McKelvie, Mike Norton, and Matthew Wilson. apologies to the letterer, Clayton Cowles.

[viciousfish]

haha, this turned out to be prophetic. xD

[viciousfish]

...I still believe in Ikol.

Thori showed up in Guardians Team-Up #5 as part of Vulture Von Doom’s Pets of Evil Masters! (who?)

(he wasn’t the pet of that Loki, and I believe it’s Helhound with one l. and he didn’t get much to do--didn’t even breathe fire or yell about murder--but it’s good to see he’s still around!) (aw, remember the precious little Hel-puppy shouting things like “murder murder murder”, “dungy womb women”, “foul hag queens”, “cock my leg on the rainbow bridge”, and “death to Asgard”?)

My Problem with Freyja

It’s very difficult for me to like Freyja. Not just because of what we see her do in the comics, but also because we don’t see her be the nice, doting mother to Loki the other characters claim her to be. Because I never saw her being kind to Loki, or call him son, or express her regret on how he turned out, it’s very hard for me to believe she ever loved him and that he’s nothing more than a means to an end. Her regret after banishing Loki from Asgard felt more like she was angry that he called her out on her hypocrisy and she didn’t want to hear him anymore. It didn’t feel like she was mourning Kid Loki’s death, but that she had realized she wasn’t the morally correct one. She wasn’t sorry for what she did or would have done to Loki, she was sorry of what her actions made of her. Until she says something explicit on the comics, instead of other characters saying how much she doted on Loki, I won’t believe she saw him as anything more but a pawn that her husband dumped on her. I can’t find a single panel where she even calls Loki “her son”, while she calls Thor “her son” all the time. That can only show how little she thinks of him. Sure, she lost Aldriff and was forced to raise two children that weren’t hers. But if that was the only reason for her actions, she would have mistreated Thor as much as she mistreated Loki, or even more since Thor was the result of her husband’s infidelity. So the “she had to raise someone else’s child” is not an excuse for her bad parenting. If she loved Thor despite not being hers, she had no reason not to love Loki as well.

[viciousfish]

the closest I’ve seen is this page, where she says “but not actually being my son never seems to alter the way I feel”, but that doesn’t say a whole lot. :s

(the “think better of us and we will think better of you” from Gaea is kind of awful, too. at least Idunn gives him an apple.)  

oh, I just remembered something else. for what it’s worth, there was also this during Everything Burns when she calls both Thor and Loki the sons of her heart:

she’s addressing Volstagg and is primarily concerned with saving Asgardia though, so yeah.

[phoenixyfriend]

What completely human name would Loki give to a demonic baby?

It needs to be something really, really generically Midgardian.

Irony is appreciated.

This is officially now bugging me.

Here are the other references I could find for various issue titles. “Trust Me” seemed pretty self explanatory.

#2 - Loki and Lorelei Sitting in a Tree (old playground song)

#3 - Your Life is a Story I’ve Already Written (quote from “Tomorrow Never Dies”)

#4 - Let’s You and Him Fight (TV Trope, or possibly an old Popeye cartoon)

#5 - This Mission Will Self-Destruct In Five Seconds (Mission: Impossible)

#6 - Degree Absolute (Either a band, another word for the “Kelvin” unit of measurement, or a play on “Decree Absolute”)

#7 - Fall Out (A popular video game series)

#8 - I Cannot Tell a Lie (famous quote attributed to George Washington)

#9 - Good Sons Like You (…okay, I admit, this one stumped me if it was anything in particular)

#10 - Not Forgiven (same)

#11 - Turn Away and Slam the Door (a lyric from “Let It Go”)

#12 - Time Alone Shall Murder All the Flowers (a line from the Peter Hammill song “Forsaken Garden”)

[viciousfish]

“Good Sons Like You” looks like a lyric from “Piccadilly Palare” by Morrissey.

Something I’ve been wondering while I try to brace myself for the next issue…

…can anyone confirm or deny whether King Loki can lie? Have we ever actually seen him tell a direct falsehood? Even when it probably would have benefited him?

I’m not sure if we have. Maybe in his “future”, he also lost the ability to lie but never gained it back. “‘Twas governed most perfectly by my reckoning” was subjective. “I am what will be” could be metaphorical. 

What I keep coming back to is that, if he was trying to end Loki and Verity’s friendship, he had less than no reason to drop the line “So hard to believe we’ve never met” if he didn’t have to.

[viciousfish]

one thing I've noticed is that when he talks to Andvari the fish, he identifies himself with "Loki am I--liar, trickster, and come for your gold!" although I suppose he could be known as a liar and thus can call himself "Loki the Liar" even if he can't actually lie. ???

this edit has probably been done already. art and colors from Thor #4 by Russell Dauterman and Matthew Wilson. (apologies to writer Jason Aaron and letterer Joe Sabino.)
