How Loki is Turning into a Bit of a Gwenpool, in a Wolverine Western This Wednesday

Published Mon, 18 Nov 2019 12:00:48 -0600

In a recent issue of Loki that rewrote the basis of the Marvel Universe (again), Loki met the Children Of Eternity who explained how certain characters had done unwitting deals with them to give them more time for their stories to play out, for reasons of duty, of worthiness of pain, and Loki seemed to want some of that. Even for an immortal god, it seems that more time is the only thing that anyone will value in the end.

In issue 5, that seems to continue to play out, as we get a new story of Loki and Wolverine set in 1911 Montana on the Canadian border, and as much of a Western tale as you are going to get, with saloons, card games, bar brawls, gun fights and bone claws.

Is it true? Maybe not when it begins but by the end it is made canon by the Children. It's a new approach to Marvel continuity that may see Mark Waid rip up The History Of The Marvel Universe, and also turn Loki into a bit of a Deadpool – or even Gwenpool – along the way…

Loki #5 is published by Marvel on Wednesday,
