Loki, "Kid Loki", Ikol and Journey Into Mystery
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2019 4:30 pm
Now, this may be an artifact of the fact that Russ has only added up to JIM 641 in that series - tho he's also added Marvel Now!.1, which is beyond that point - but this looks pretty wrong to me.
(Spoilers upcoming if you're reading through it, BTW)
Right, here's the thing. Loki was killed in Siege. After which, a new, child Loki was somehow brought back by Thor, who had none of the memories of his older self past the point of childhood he came from. But Old Loki had backed himself up in a book, and after "Kid Loki" found the clues to lead to it, proceeded to tell him that this form of resurrection was all Old Loki's plan, and followed him around for a while in the form of a bird Kid Loki dubbed "Ikol".
Now, at the end of the run, owing to various blackmails Old Loki had arranged, Kid Loki was effectively bullied into suicide, and giving Old Loki/Ikol his body. This "new Loki" has proceeded to appear in Young Avengers (where he was aged up into Tom Hiddleston), Loki: Agent of Asgard (where Thor was not terribly happy when he found out what had happened) and so forth.
So, I think the chronology should go:
LOKI/LOKI LAUFEYSON
[...]
MA 36
SIEGE 4 (10 - 14)
**See Ikol
**From Ikol
[Delete everything from T 617 to JIM 641]
[JIM 645] (technically, the last couple of panels of the issue. Not really essential)
M/NPO /4
IKOL
**From Loki
JIM 622
JIM 626.1
[...]
JIM 640
JIM 641
[...]
[JIM 645]
**See Loki
**LOKI III/"KID LOKI" LAUFEYSON
T 617
T 618
[..and the rest, up to...]
JIM 640
JIM 641
[Everything Burns]
[JIM 645]
[Also, LEAH should probably have "From also Hela" and "See also Hela". It's a similar situation to HULK (BANNER-LESS).]
