Loki's in a comic book?
He's a recurring character in Gaiman's Sandman series.
Also, a recurring villain in Thor (or at least he was).
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Plus? Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul, which makes me smile.
Was there Norse myth in that? I only read it once years ago (though I own it) and I don't have much of a recollection about it.
To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, "I don't think you read the book that you think you read."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thor's, like, the guy.

You're not paraphrasing him, so much as you're misattributing. That's Inigo's line.

Yes, I corrected it immediately. Not fast enough for this board, tho.

You know one of those moments where immediately upon hitting "Post Message" you see your error, roll your eyes and groan? Yep.

FWIW, the mythological Loki came to an unpleasant middle: the gods got pissed with him and tied him (with his son's intestines) to a pair of rocks under a snake that drips poison steadily on his face. His wife (who is a doormat) holds a bowl to catch the poison, but when she empties the bowl, Loki writhes in agony, and that is where earthquakes come from.
Needless to say, Loki is fated to open a can of whoop-ass come Ragnarok. Not that any further cans would be needed, it being the end of the world, but never let it be said the Norsefolks missed out on an opportunity for intrafamilial feuds and revenge schemes.

If I recall correctly, Loki is also half-giant, so his sympathies are a bit suspect. However, he won my affection after the whole Sif incident.

What, his giving birth to an eight-legged horse isn't enough for you?? You need bribery now?
