word of advice : looter for War of The Realms
The reading ofLokiin Marvel ’s movie creation may be dead , but in the comics he could be headed for the braggart forwarding of his life - as thenewThor , God of Thunder .
The news has n’t been announce by Marvel Comics , but the publisher has been beleaguer a brand raw position quo forits Asgardian stars – Thor , Valkyrie , and Loki – amount the close of summer . WiththeWar of The Realmseventpromising to demand a massive"sacrifice"from Thor , many fans are fearing the bad . But it does n’t seem like the"whole new adventure"awaiting Thor in his solo serial publication will be dying . or else , it may only be passing on the title , office , and the Hammer of Thor to his brother … reach Loki one last opportunity to become the hero sandwich fans know he could be .
Again , this theory is speculation on our part ( and if Marvel were contrive to have Thor pass Mjolnir on to Loki , we doubt they would officially affirm it so far ahead of time ) . But it ’s speculation establish on the solicitations for Marvel ’s releases come July 2019 , after theWar of The Realmshas formally terminate . And we surmise that once fans read the various tease made by Marvel … they’ll come to the same wondrous conclusion .
Loki, Marvel’s Next God of Thunder?
After seeingLoki eaten alive by his Church Father inWar of The Realms # 1 , buff were athirst ( no-count ) for more of the desperate god of mischief , now willing to die to prove his love life and loyalty to his adopted female parent Freyja . gratefully , the shock of his expiry was lessened by the announcement that Loki will star in his own comic book begin in July . But forget the obvious interrogation ofhow Loki can come back from the dead … why is he carrying Mjolnir on the cover of his first offspring ? The outline forLoki # 1may give the reason . Take a tone :
After die a gruesome death in THE WAR OF THE REALMS , Loki … has a whole new set of responsibility — and his brother Thor is not about to let him walk aside from them this prison term … Daniel Kibblesmith takes the god of mischief in a thrilling new focus !
shadowy on its own , although Loki being somehow resurrected and having Modern duty contribute upon him by his brother Thor imply a departure of the great mullein – responsibilities that apparently include being sent via Bifrost down to Earth , Mjolnir in mitt , if his cover art is to be consider . fan could argue that by sacrifice himself for Asgard and Earth , Loki proved himself “ worthy ” whether he exact the power of Thor or not . And his exponent of deceit would even allow him to not be noticeably transformed when wielding the hammer of the God of Thunder .
But the hammer is n’t the only clew , and our hypothesis is n’t only ground on how Marvel is twit Loki ’s future – but his brother ’s , as well . We ca n’t yet say how theWar of The Realmswill finally end , but one thing is for sure : nobody ’s life is pass to be changed more dramatically than Thor ’s . And just as Jason Aaron ’s time with the hero draw to a close …
King Thor Doesn’t Need His Hammer
To have the hammer Mjolnir and the power it bestows to turn over on to Loki at all , Thor will need a new calling . Over the course of Jason Aaron ’s footrace onThorthere have been too many glimpse of Old King Thor to number , confirming he may bethe last person alive at the end of Marvel ’s Universe . So it should n’t be scandalous to say that such a future tense awaits him . And based on the outline ofThor # 15 , key out as an epilogue toWar of The Realms , the"new status quo"for Thor may have finally arrived :
To terminate the War of the Realms , Thor made a forfeiture that will leave alone him forever changed . Now he must face the pick he ’s made . What dwell ahead for the God of Thunder ? Jason Aaron ’s legendary run draw off to a skinny – do n’t miss the start of his final spark !
It would n’t be the first time thatThor has sacrificed Mjolnir . But where he once left the hammer due to believe himself " worthless , " this time around could be to ultimately uprise to the stool of Asgard , and start to reconstruct what Odin let to fracture in the jumper lead - up to theWar of The Realms . In fact , the synopsis forWar of The Realms Omega # 1 , also give up in July , may bug that exact rebuilding :
Midgard is broken , and as heroes of Asgard and Earth alike initiate to sieve through the pieces , newfangled heroes — and villains — emerge . What ’s next for Jane Foster , now free of the hammer she was willing to die to guard ? Thor ’s brother Loki faced a terrible fate in the War of the Realms — and now the god of mischief must make himself anew . And for Thor himself , luck has last arrived . The God of Thunder strikes out for a whole unexampled adventure !
Jane Foster’s Busy as The New Valkyrie
The mention of Jane Foster being"free from the hammer"not only confirms that Mjolnir will somehow be reconstruct as part of the event , but makes it expressed that she wo n’t be pick it up to becomeMarvel ’s new ( and arguably greatest ) Thor . Jane ’s future has already been let on , starring inher own comic series as Marvel ’s newValkyrie . To say that Thor ’s portion has finally arrived could mean whatever Aaron wants it to … but the simplest explanation is that Odin will fall , either by blade or old age , leaving Thor to replace him .
Could the"God of Thunder striking out for a whole unexampled adventure"refer to Loki without sports fan knowing it ahead of sentence ? The Omega upshot credits Jason Aaron , AL Ewing , and Daniel Kibblesmith as writers – also the three head theThor , Valkyrie , andLokiseries afterWar of The Realms – which mean devotee will require to nibble the issue up no matter .
So as Jane Foster detect a newfangled destiny befitting her character , and Thor prepare to follow in his father ’s footsteps … is Loki finally ready to postdate in his brother ’s as the champion of Asgard , and defender of the Realms ( what ’s depart of them anyway ) ?
Marvel’sWar of The Realmsis currently under way , withLoki # 1available at your local comic book store in July .
