But . . . what if Loki saved Asgard from Tony Stark&’s revenge? Thor—Son of Odin, God of Thunder, Wielder of Mjolnir—is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was meant to be only a joke—tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor&’s course to Midgard—a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki&’s harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, at the cost of Thor&’s life.

Loki finds himself in a realm of boxed wine, instant noodles, and some sort of regional performance troupe known as the &“Buffalo Bills.&” It&’s a meager existence, far from Asgard&’s grand courts, but he finds his new friend, Brian the Gecko, a much more engaging companion than the sycophants back home. It&’s a true meeting of the minds. Loki is the God of Mischief—but he knows, deep down, that he never truly deserved to stand next to their father&’s golden child, Thor, as two true sons of Odin. Yet he cannot endure his exile in peaceful isolation. A Valkyrie—Hel-bent on carrying out her oath to Thor—barges into Loki&’s trailer home with his brother&’s final words from the beyond: a plea to find a certain Dr. Jane Foster and pass the hammer Mjolnir on to its rightful heir.
