They’re brothers, gods and sons of Odin — but Thor and Loki just don’t get along! Especially since Loki keeps tricking Thor into doing things that will get him in trouble. Even so, when Loki dares Thor to steal a powerful relic from Odin’s vault, how can the God of Thunder say nay? The fan-favorite team that brought you SPIDER-MAN & VENOM: DOUBLE TROUBLE returns!

Marvel just started another new series, and this one is perfect for all the fans out there in need of something a bit lighter. And a lot more fun! Thor & Loki: Double Trouble #1 is the beginning of a tale of chaos and adventures, all surrounding two iconic brothers.
It probably goes without saying that this series is going to be as entertaining as it is chaotic. Look at who we’re talking about here! Better yet, Thor & Loki: Double Trouble #1 is written by Mariko Tamaki, one of my personal favorites. So obviously I just couldn’t wait to give this series a try.
This is a series perfect for fans of Thor and Loki, but who want to focus a bit more on the entertaining side of the messes they create. As opposed to the dramatic side of things. It’s a refreshing change. And you have to admit that the two are well-suited to it.
Some people have hours and hours of movies/TV and still get characters wrong.
Mariko Tamaki manages to absolutely nail Thor and Loki’s dynamic within the first two pages, and never once lets up.
Is it plot heavy? Not really. If you’re looking for an intense dark comic, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a good laugh and some fluff, pick this up immediately.
The posters plastered all over the comic shops made me want to read this. This was cute, not sure why its rated T as it seems very childish. The artwork was different and I enjoyed it.
At first while reading this I sort of felt like I was starting into sort of a comic for kids.. which still may be the case but I actually found it quite fun. It showed us some of the mischief that Thor and Loki were likely prone to get into when they were younger. Colorful artwork, easy read for any age.. well, any age of basic literacy. I'm sure I will check out the rest of the series as it's released.
Haha I love it already! The siblings dynamic is stellar and the art is adorable- very clean and satisfying. Definitely looking forward to more in this series 😚❤️
El estilo de ilustración es hermoso, en especial el diseño de Loki (me encantaría tener ese vestuario y porte)
La historia que presenta es divertida y desde el principio me atrapo; ya veré en el siguiente número que otras aventuras le siguen a este dúo de hermanos
mariko tamaki is one of my all time fav comic writers and gurihiru’s art is so cute and clear and fun, so far i really like their take on these characters and im excited to see more of whats in store
See a younger Thor and Loki get into some silly shenanigans. Fun story, with cute artwork. I will definitely be continuing this series as they're added to Marvel Unlimited!
