    If you haven't been reading Journey Into Mystery, go pick up every trade and read it ASAP. It's quite possibly the best book that Marvel has been putting out, and a run like this probably won't come around again. Kieron Gillen, thank you for one amazing run Read Full Review

    It's time now to say our goodbyes to Kieron Gillen as the writer of Journey Into Mystery. As much as I am gleefully thankful for his run, I seriously cannot wait to see what he has up his sleeve. Thank you, Mr. Gillen… The next pint's on me. Read Full Review

    So that's it. Kid Loki's story is over, at least in this incarnation, and it will be a long time before I recover. This series has been superb throughout, and this final issue is everything that it deserves and more. This is a perfect end to a flawless series, and I urge you to read it. If you don't, you will be depriving yourself of one of the best books to hit the stands; this series will go down in history in the same breath as other epics like the Sandman, or Y: The Last Man, and rightfully so. What more of a recommendation do you need? Read Full Review

    Not that this should come as any great surprise, but the finale to Gillen's Journey Into Mystery saga is well worth reading. It delivers a proper finish to Loki's story, and it sets up an interesting new status quo as both writer and star shift to Young Avengers in 2013. Read Full Review

    So in the end, not unlike its title character, "Journey Into Mystery" was the little book that could, and did, and suffered for it. Effectively, it was a Vertigo book in the Marvel Universe twenty years too late. It's tempting to say that we shall not see the likes of it again -- but how depressing would it be to actually believe that? Read Full Review
