    A strong start to what seems to be a great arc. Surprisingly, this issue manages to be quite new reader friendly as well. It's all laid out for such entrants in the recap page, and it's done in a hilarious yet succinct manner. If you are a bit short on change and somewhat apprehensive of the $3.99 tag, trade an Avengers or a Moon Knight off to pick this one up, will ya? You won't regret it, trust me. Read Full Review

    Journey Into Mystery has become a very consistent and enjoyable book, which is head and shoulders above its sister-title Mighty Thor. Gillen has made terrific use of Kid-Loki, making him such an engaging and enjoyable lead character to read about that it only makes his inevitable aging back into Loki all the more tragic, because of how interesting and mufti-faceted a character he is now in his current iteration. This issue is a very enjoyable beginning of a new storyline, and I can't wait to see what comes next from the teaming of Hellstrom and Loki. Recommended! Read Full Review

    I've been really enjoying this book lately because it's consistently impressed me with its pacing and the characterization of Loki. It harkens back to the initial resurrection of Thor, when the gods were interacting with their (then) new neighbors in Broxton, and it wasn't the painful experience that movies make culture shocks out to be.
