I did like this Loki...very much!

[Simeon Scott · Rating 2 out of 5]

A neat little play on the story of Thor and Loki with some cool insight into what Frost Giant culture is like, though after a certain point in the story it does start to feel a bit by the numbers and the ending just didn't quite sit right with me.

(3,5 of 5 for a nice story about far from a surprising twist on Thor with a nice ending)

Pretty interesting! So like the What If Peter Parker became The Punisher book, this one shot also had me quite excited, just on the premise of it alone. The story here is pretty much, What If Thor was adopted by Laufey as opposed to Loki being adopted by Odin. What I liked about this book is how like The Punisher one, it feels more like a DC Elseworld where its a different take, rather then a usual What Ifs which generally serve as alternate ending to a pre-established story. The artwork as well was pretty good! In the end though, I was a bit disappointed with it, mainly because I felt the writers could of done more with it then what they actually did. The story is very straight forward and a bit too simple, where as I think they could have been a bit more creative with the plot. But overall its a decent What If book.

Pretty good! For a mini-story, it was oddly compelling. Using the basic building blocks that we're familiar with in the Thor story, the team constructs a new tale with frost giants.

Seeing a blue thor with a giant spiky ice hammer was awesome, and this gentler version of Loki was very sweet. It was an extremely economical use of frames, each one quickly establishing character relations and dynamics. It leaves on kind of a somber note, not so much a cliffhanger but as the sort of quiet, emotive ending that gets your mind whirring on what could happen in another edition.

Some slight spoilers.

I really liked this- it was a fun read, but not particularity satisfying for the most part (except the end, where Loki is actually happy, unlike every other version of him ever lol). It was basically the exact same dynamic as other incarnations, just with Thor being the adopted son, not Loki. Their 'places' weren't at all changed by that. Maybe it would have been better if it had been longer/ongoing.

Like most of the Thor comics since about 2005, this one is full of pain and angst. The new modern art style of the past few years is still present here, and it looks really nice. I particularly enjoyed how it portrayed Loki with horn tattoos and pointy ears. Overall a worthy but sad addition to the modern runs of Thor.

Oldukça kısa ama benim Marvel evrenine karşı kafamda oluşan "what if...?" sorularını da fazlasıyla cevaplayan bir hikaye oldu. En azından Loki'nin akıbeti hoşuma gitti <3 Okurken "What if...?" animasyon dizisini de bir andırmadı değil, bu yüzden daha da sevdim. Diğer ciltleri de alıp okumayı dört gözle bekliyorum.

I liked it very much. It was a cool (pun intended) way to tell an alternate story with references to the original; and also with great art.

Felt almost like a classic tragedy with lost memories, and forgotten realms

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was fun, but it lacked depth. (How is this any different than Thor and Loki's relationship?) Basically ice giant!Prince of Egypt vibes. Would still read the shit out of a whole series of it.

[Hannah McManus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, this was actually surprisingly good? Forget about it being a one-shot, I would like an arc please and thank.

[Hanneleele · Rating 4 out of 5]

Who needs AU fanfic if you have actual comics? Cool cool cool cool cool.
I did like this one :) Wish it was a little longer even.

[Lillian Francis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great art. Good story.

[Juanpa&#x1fae7; · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5

[Indah Threez Lestari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, not Out of Character at all!

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

love the lore

[Neyebur · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una lectura ligera que desearía que no lo fuera tanto.
Te deja con ganas de saber más de los personajes en esta realidad alternativa: ¿por qué Thor pasa de querer matar a Laufey a aceptarlo como padre? ¿Qué fue de Midgar sin contar con la protección de Asgard? ¿Están condenados Thor y Loki a acabar peleándose en todas las realidades o es que los guionistas no saben escribirlos de otra forma?
Todas estas dudas podrían resolverse en una posible secuela, y yo la leería.
