okay so this was really irrelevant and a waste of time

This was fun and cool. I love the old mythology stuff and Loki makes a great "hero".

I love kid!Loki's adventures, and I'm a big fan of the New Mutants (although I've mostly read classic stories), so this volume had everything to please me... and it was no disappointment ! Great story, loved the art, brilliant dialogue... often funny, touching at times (the Disir !!), it was great. Loved every second of it !

This was a weird story, and all the stuff with Disir was a little ... sexist. I don't know. I like Gillen and I like the New Mutants, but this fell a little flat for me. Maybe part of it was that I hated the art, maybe part was that I don't have a ton of emotional connection to the Asgardians, and I'm always sort of MEH about their stories.
I will say, though, that I would happily read more stories about the New Mutants living and working in San Francisco, trying to be "normal" people.

An Asgardian hero mightier than even Thor hides out on Earth. The Mission, San Francisco, specifically. But when the New Mutants—including Dani Moonstar, ex-valkyrie—move in across the street, his cover is blown. When the Asgardian gods come to claim him—along with the Dísir, soul-eating warriors with a prior claim on his soul—he triggers a spell that turns them all into regular San Francisco citizens.
If you're reading Loki—as I am—this is a strange little diversion from the usual high fantasy. Nonetheless, it's kind of fun. A worthwhile read but only if you really care about the fate of the Dísir, which, if you're reading Loki, you might well do.

As crossovers go, it isn't bad, and the treatment of the Disir is particularly strong, as are the narrative twists. However, ultimately the volume comes off as inessential, though enjoyable.

This better explains some of the pieces I was missing while reading Angela: Assassin of Asgard, but the artwork and writing didn't elevate this volume beyond just "OK."
