BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY
Asgard is filled with so many stories that even the Gods themselves find it difficult to sort out the truth from the lies. This tale is a rather dark one, chronicling the "true" origin of Mjolnir, and the rift between Loki and Thor. This story makes you sympathetic to Loki, the trickster that always goes too far. His plight, though product of his own actions, is heartbreaking. Maybe I just haven't read enough Loki stories, but never before have I felt such pity for Loki. Seeing it through HIS eyes, he becomes a tortured soul, a God that never felt Godly, who never induced respect from anyone, so unlike his brothers. This was a great first issue, and being a 4 issue mini it's a small commitment. Buy this book, seriously, buy it.
