Thor #24 Has A Direct Sequel To Loki Agent Of Asgard #17

Seven years ago, Marvel Comics cancelled Loki: Agent Of Asgard with #17 being published in 2015. And as suiting the god of lies and tricks – and stories – we got a rather meta-textual ending from Al Ewing and Lee Garbett.

With Marvel Comics ending the issue on quite a cliffhanger. And one that was never satisfactorily resolved. Hey, it was metatextual, it didn't need to be.

Today's Thor #24 – or #750 depending how you count – looks to the future as it commemorates the past with the likes of Walt Simonson, Jason Aaron, Joe Michael Straczynski and Dan Jurgens telling stories from the past, alongside the memorial lesson for Odin. But along the way, we might also get teases for the future of Thor – and more.

Set far, far back in time, trillenia ago, to the Sixth Iteration Of Reality… and stepping through the other side of the door, from Al Ewing and Lee Garbett again.

Jumping seven years – and several trillions of years – with one doorframe.

And after dealing with the events that are concerning all in the main Thor storyline, with a little gender fluidity along the way…

It's time to continue that journey into Defenders Beyond #1 by Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez, out in June 2022, for Pride Month.

And the knowledge that the broken headdress identifies this as the Loki from Agent Of Asgard rather than the one in recent issues of Thor… for those of you drawing the diagrams.
