THOR: SON OF ASGARD #1

But when Asgard's own Corey Feldman, the nefarious Loki, learns of their mission, he just can't help himself from toying with the teenie-boppers to ensure their failure and humiliation before all of the kingdom.
LOKI #1
Loki: Master of Asgard?!?! Revisionist history runs wild when the trickster god holds the pen. Odin has been overthrown, a broken Thor sits in the shadows of a dungeon, and all of Asgard dare not look upon their new tyrant king. Read on to see Loki learn how sometimes, getting exactly what you wish for doesn't end up being all you thought it would be.
THOR: BLOOD
OATH #3
As Thor and the Warriors Three scour the globe in search of magical artifacts, they roll up on the beefy Hercules, indulging himself in wine and women – no, literally, he's canoodling with a dozen chicks in a river of sweet, sweet wine – and in possession of one of these such items: the magic pig of Dionysius. Mistaking Thor for a threat, a drunk Herc attacks the Odinson for a throw-down of mythic proportions.
Well i know my brother will be jumping with JOY!
