Loki is on earth and causing trouble in the most unexpected way. He finds himself running for president, seemingly on a whim, and hi-jinks ensue (of course). The story itself was really odd and while enjoyable, it wasn’t exactly a ‘must read’…it’s a lot weaker than most Loki story-lines and it’s basically an election year filler comic. In a previous story-line Loki willingly took on the mantel of God of Stories, and compared with that awesome series this one really fell short in a lot of way. In fact there isn’t a ton to talk about in terms of the story-line. Loki does some stuff, runs for president, has some pretty witty responses to some very typical election objections (birth certificates, etc.), and turns the entire election process into something of a zoo. That’s it. It’s interesting, but if you’re not a comic book collector for Loki or the Asgardians I would really recommend only borrowing this from the library or a friend that is.
As for the art…I hated it. It does have a political cartoon type style too it which was…a nice touch in terms of being an election parody, but I hated the lack of detail. It makes pretty much everyone look hideous.
Overall it’s a interesting little commentary on the year’s election process, with the humor needed to to make it through the whole thing…but other than that it’s a mostly unnecessary comic.
