I fully recognize that this book is not for everybody, but does it really have to be?  It's a smart book and a subtle book, where most of the plot and drama happens in the spaces between words.  And I do love it.  The only bit I was kind of lukewarm on was the talk with Captain America's ghost.  Sure it was explained, and it set up some of the action in the issue quite well, I'm just not a fan of that sort of thing... but I suppose it's weird to complain about suspension of disbelief in a book about a Norse Thunder god living in Oklahoma.  The other main force in this issue is Loki continuing to spread dissent... but to what end?  I guess tricksters will be tricksters.  Anyway, this is a lovely book, but if you need slam-bang action, it's not for you.  Personally, I think reading a cerebral and understated superhero book is refreshing.
