    Last issue catapulted YA into my top five books. Can’t wait for this.

    I had to temporarily drop this title, but I’m picking it up again Wednesday. Has Kate Bishop played a big role in this series yet or is it mainly Kid Loki?

      I’d say it’s been a mostly a mix of Loki, Hulkling and Wiccan so far, with a side of Miss America. And last issue was a particularly awesome Noh-Varr feature. Not too much Kate yet.

    Dropping this title now that this arc is over, I like Chavez and Prodigy but I’m not hanging around to keep seeing Wiccan play the pity card and I never got the hype for Kid Loki

    I started reading this with the last issue and this one was just as good. Becoming a favorite of mine!

    I thought this was another great issue. Kid Loki is still my favorite, but some of others are starting to catch up with him. I hope that Wiccan evolves from his current whiny guy role, because it’s already getting old. I was stoked to see Loki’s guilty conscience appear, I’m sure Gillen will have a lot of fun playing with that device. There wasn’t a “holy shit” panel or spread this issue, but McKelvie and Norton continue to impress.

    I hope we start getting to know the rest of the team more in the coming arcs, I’m interested in learning more about Miss America, Kate Bishop, and Nor-Varr. The break next issue should be interesting, I’m not familiar with either of the characters–or the guest artist–but with Gillen writing it I’m sure it will be a fun read.

      It wasn’t as unorthodox as the Noh-Varr spread from last issue, but I thought the double-page spread when Loki is sitting in the magic circle was kind of a “holy shit” design.

      Yes that was pretty impressive. Don’t get me wrong, the art team is killer, and I don’t expect my mind to be blown every issue; I guess I was just noting that there wasn’t a page where I stared open-mouthed like last month.

    What has happened to Kid Loki? Is the evil Loki back? I did not read after he died.

      I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’d suggest hitting up marvelwikia.com, and searching the “Everything Burns” storyline from JiM.
