i was pretty lost throughout this. as the title suggests, everything is on fire, which seems simple enough, except it is absolutely not. everyone and their mother is somehow involved in this and people keep flipping between good and bad and making all kinds of confusing deals and it’s just too much.
THAT LAST ISSUE OF JIM THO? oh my fucking god. that maybe singlehandedly redeems this entire volume. that was BRUTAL i was sobbing a little bit by the end. that panel where thor and loki were hugging and thor said “you really are the biggest, sweetest idiot in the whole nine realms”?????? the panel where loki and leah were laying in the field together???? that page where his face is covered in blood, tears streaming down his face as he kneels in front of the fire and the helmet of the original loki and he says “i win”.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????????? that was painful. this whole thing was painful. but what a beautiful ending. definitely one of the best endings to a comic book story that i’ve ever read. absolutely jaw dropping and heartbreaking and incredible.
