“"Loki is in a redemption arc already, and has found himself faced with the challenge of proving himself capable of being a hero, but of course the person who doubts him the most is himself," notes Rick Remender. "And deep down, in the recesses of his mind, there is his future self cackling at him, pulling him into despair, convincing him that there is no other road for him. And AXIS will allow him to answer that question once and for all for himself, as to what the true fiber and makeup of his character is and whether or not he is inferior to his half-brother Thor."”



- Interesting quote on Marvel’s site today. Gives me a bit of reassurance about AXIS, that Remender understands where he stands at the moment and will respect it. I hope he is uninverted in the end, though, so he can continue the redemption story he started without some outside force taking over. I feel very strongly that it has to come from within, but I am ok with the Inversion giving him a bit of a push in the right direction. The fact that the inversion is kinda being played for laughs in his solo book kinda reassures me on that front, though. Also, he definitely implies that future Loki is not real, but while my thought was character in a story, he’s suggesting something more akin to what happened in Young Avengers, with his doubts and guilt manifesting physically. Though he may be kinda misunderstanding Ewing’s plans there.

Just read the latest about Marvel’s Axis, and while there are some things that worry me, in general I am looking forward to it. But can we just discuss the cool ‘rotating’ covers? I mean, we’re still missing the last 3, and the first 3 are missing the logo and have some blacked out figures, but still, cool idea. I may do a final version once we have the final covers for all the issues if someone else doesn’t beat me to it. though personally, I would have gone with a clockwise rotation rather than counter-clockwise.
