Wednesday Comics: Loki

Earlier today I picked up the one-shot Siege Loki.

The art was stunning and the story had many threads to it which made for what felt like a much longer book, in a good way.

It makes me wish we could see a semi-regular Loki title published, or at least a short series.

Here's a view of Loki and if you think that looks good wait till you see the breathtaking work on Hel.

Honestly, I'd judge this one-shot to be superior to the Sif title, which is kind of a shame. Don't get me wrong, Sif was intense and moody and a great read, but this Loki book just had, well as the guys in Metalocalypse would say, "ZAZZ".


Just for kicks here's a view from the Sif one-shot.
She looks fantastic and she certainly kicks some ass while battling internal demons from her past.

Ultimately, I'm just delighted that Marvel did both of these stories and I'm looking forward to more.

Tokidoki Thor

A good friend picked this delightful Thor t-shirt up for me in a comic shop hours from my home. I don't usually wear t-shirts that aren't black, but I'll be making an exception (or just wearing a black long-sleeve under it, ha!) for this piece of goodness.







Here's a view of the back. Since I love anything that is manga-style and I love American comics this is a fun mash-up of styles.

So, I guess it's T-shirt Tuesday around here! Although, since it's Thor related I debated posting this on a Thursday, since that would be more in keeping with our hero....


Since we are on the subject of Thor and Marvel I want to also mention the excellent one-shot comic about Sif. If you haven't read it yet check it out. The art and storytelling is wonderfully dark. The Sif one-shot is part of Marvel's focus on women in comics in 2010 and I couldn't be happier with what they have done so far this year to spotlight women in comics. As a comic book reader for now over two decades it's exactly the kind of move I think the industry needs.
