Journey into Mystery, Vol. 4: The Manchester Gods by Richard Elson, Kieron Gillen

4.0

Kid!Loki's adventures are always a joy to read, but this volume was probably my least favorite so far. I suspect Gillen had to wrap this storyline up quickly because Everything Burns was about to start. There are a lot of really fantastic ideas that Gillen could have played with, but with so few issues to work with, there is only so much they can be expanded upon. The Thor issued also included is interesting, but completely out of place collected with JiM and I'm also somewhat confused as to where it fits in the Thor/Loki timeline since I was under the impression Thor was no longer bonded to Donald Blake. Maybe that changed during Thor's own run, but it was rather confusing for me. Really brilliant art in that Thor issue though.
