About the author

Robert Rodi

209 books123 followers
Robert was born in Chicago in the conformist 1950s, grew up in the insurrectionist 1960s, came of age in the hedonist 1970s, and went to work in the elitist 1980s. This roller-coaster ride has left him with a distinct aversion to isms of any kind; it also gave him an ear for hypocrisy, cant, and platitudes that allowed him, in the 1990s, to become a much-lauded social satirist.

After seven acclaimed novels set in the gay milieu, Robert grew restless for new challenges — which he found in activities as wide-ranging as publishing nonfiction, writing comic books, launching a literary-criticism blog, and taking to the stage (as a spoken-word performer, jazz singer, and rock-and-roll front man).

In 2011, excited by the rise of digital e-books, he returned to his first love, publishing new fiction inspired by the work of Alfred Hitchcock. He also organized the republishing of his seminal gay novels under the banner Robert Rodi Essentials.

Robert still resides in Chicago, in a century-old Queen Anne house with his partner Jeffrey Smith and a constantly shifting number of dogs.

German version: Robert Rodi wurde 1956 in einem Vorort von Chicago geboren. Im Alter von 22 schloss er sein Philosophie-Studium ab. Schon vorher beschäftigte er sich mit Comedy. Sein erster eigener Roman, "Fag Hag" aus dem Jahr 1991 war ein großer Erfolg. Es folgten mehrere andere komische Romane, zahlreiche Kurzgeschichten und Sketche. Robert lebt mit Partner und Hund in Chicago.

I don't like the art style and the dialog is too pretentious.

loki benim all time fav mcu karakterim.ilk izlediğimde buna karar verdim ve ilk gördüğüm andan beri de değişmedi. 💚 oyuncusunu da ayrı seviyorum. bu comicte okuduğum ilk comicti. çok sevdim ama serinin diğer kitaplarını daha çok severim diye bi puan kırdım xmsjsjwk böyle bi kriter yok biliyorum ama yaptım iste 😓 zaten bir açtım birde baktım ki bitti. hani bu kadar kısa süreceğini bende bilmiyordum. loki'nin bakış açısından olayları gördük, onun içsel çatışmalarına ve "ben neden böyleyim?" sorgulmalarına şahit olduk. ayrıca kitapta asgard'in hükümdarı konumunda şuan. bakalım devamında neler olacak. ⚔️

"Y aún... ¿qué es Loki sin Thor...?"

"...Pues no hay nada en toda la creación que pueda existir sin su opuesto. Es la oscuridad la que define a la luz, el dolor le da significado al placer, la ausencia la que hace conocible a la presecia".

"Entonces lo opuesto también debe ser verdad, maestrom Si la oscuridad en verdad define a la luz, la luz debe definir a la oscuridad".

Estuvo bien.

Loki es el nuevo gobernante de Asgard y tiene que enfrentarse a una decisión que todo el mundo daba por sentada menos él mismo.

Hasta que lo busqué acá no tenía mucha idea de que iban estos cuatro números, pero despertó mi curiosidad de inmediato.

Historia entretenida donde nos muestra a un Loki vengativo de la mitología nórdica.
Se reduce a lo de siempre: la falta de cariño en su infancia por parte de sus seres queridos.

I'm not used to a scary-looking Loki. Very interesting approach to the character.
