IT CAUSED RAGNAROK

Ooh Mr. Loki: A Fan Fiction! Spoilers: not actually a fanfic, just a parody of Kate Beaton's Mr. Darcy comic.

In other news I am fairly sure I don't have a new fandom, despite the fact that, um, I have a Loki icon and a Thor tag and have been trawling tumblr and reaction posts and the kinkmeme. I shouldn't have a Thor tag anyway, I should have a Loki tag. I think Loki lights up the same areas of delight in my brain that Methos does, actually. Obviously Methos and Loki need to hang out, viciously scheming and turning on a dime and sounding entirely reasonable and deep down just wanting to be loved. But I won't write it because it's too ridiculous for words.

Loki is a show stealer ALWAYS. You should read J. Michael Straczynski's run in the comics (it's not long, and you don't need any previous knowledge, I know next to nothing about Thor's marvel mythos but I still got it), Loki's a girl in it (sorta) and he's AWESOME in it. :D

I really liked the movie, it had just the right amount of family love/hate/rivalry/drama with just the right amount of explosions to still mark it as a superhero movie. Not quite Iron Man level, but Marvel's doing right with its own movies.

(now if they could only make movies about the GIRL superheroes...)

Well if you're ever interested I can upload it for you. :)

That's what I've been liking a lot in the latest Marvel-penned movies, they're going all out with character development in between big robot fights, and I'm loving it. Here's hoping to the sequels being as good!

I'd love a Batgirl movie. Or an Alias movie. Or Ms. Marvel.

Of course! It's uploading now. :)

Yeah - it's such a shame that for all that he's a brilliant director, he just doesn't know what to do with female characters. SIGH.

Ok, they're up now!

Issues 1-6
Issues 7-12
Issues 600-606

The series went back to the original numbering after issue 12 because I guess they like how big numbers look on their covers. Anyway, 603 was the last normal chapter that Straczynski wrote, after it's the giant-sized finale (also included) to sort of round things (and confuse people, it took me ages to figure it out), and then another writer took on from 604 to finish his story properly. Apparently Straczynski got into a bit of a fight with Marvel because they'd promised to let his book stand apart from events, and they conveniently forgot. Anyway after that book gets sort of a new direction and while it's still good, it's not as great. Ah well. If you like it enough to keep on reading though, you can pretty much just type 'thor 60- site:mediafire.com' into google and find most issues.

Thor: The Mighty Avenger

And this is a new retelling of Thor's origins, it's completly silly and adorable and with no relation to the parent book at all, but I'll throw it in as a bonus because I adore it and it needs more fans :D

Enjoy!
