His bolder scripting style was a nice change from Stan Lee's whiny take on the character.maw mawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750969504864005256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-23692837184501486852014-09-18T20:49:24.254-04:002014-09-18T20:49:24.254-04:00Yes, Loki tends to act pretty aggressively against...Yes, Loki tends to act pretty aggressively against mortal foes, and why shouldn't he? He enjoys the clear advantage. Yet mortals have something of an advantage as well, in being able to scrape together the will to prevail--while Loki relies solely on might and ruthlessness, and, as we've seen, deception. Qualities which, in any other aggressor, would likely win the day.Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-75715108452041164432014-09-18T17:48:58.606-04:002014-09-18T17:48:58.606-04:00Every repeat visit I make to those Silver Surfer i...Every repeat visit I make to those Silver Surfer issues is harder to take. He is such a chrome-plated sad sack. What a whiney drip. Yes, being imprisoned on Earth is a harsh and raw deal, but jeez, grow a spine.<br /><br />The Surfer does seem to have found a bowl of wheaties to eat by the time he guest stars in <i>Thor</i> #193. He meets Balder and Karnilla as equals and with a glint in his eye. He absolutely takes no cosmic crap from Karnilla, Queen of the Norns. When they sway him to their request, he acts pretty decisively to help Thor against Durok.<br /><br />But in this issue, you're quite right. It's yet another bait & switch.<br /><br />Though, it was interesting to see Loki measured against another character in the Marvel universe. Up until this, I had only seen Loki in Asgardian settings. This suddenly brought home that the God of Mischief had some serious chops.Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.ca/author_site.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
