A whisper campaign? Yes, I can do that. The great Loki is the conceiver of all forms of deception, including new media marketing. Did you think those dupes at Bungie came up with ilovebees on their own? Who do you think Damon Lindelhof came to when he wanted help with his little island project?

This is my life, people. I’ve spent, literally, centuries mastering the art of fraud. And now you think I’m going to get outdone by a bunch of greasy aliens? Pah! Come back when you’ve given birth to Hel, Skrulls, and then we can put our hermaphroditic genitalia on the table and compare them!

The story was well done, though it needed more of me in it. It’s clear though that in the next issue I will be taking the reins from Beta Ray Bill, that specious usurper, and leading the Asgardians to victory over the Skrulls. It will be a new age of Loki dominion as the peoples of this earth will quickly appoint me as their new leader and protector. And Thor can continue birthing babies in smalltown Kansas, as he is apparently wont to do.
