In a bizarre face/off, Loki swaps bodies with Thor and promptly starts causing all kinds of problems. I love this because it’s truly Loki acting like a God of Mischief, whereas most of the time he’s really an evil, world-conquering douche.
The other heroes of Asgard try to stop him, but in the end, the problem is solved thusly:
Interesting. It confirms that Thor is in fact a separate entity who exists outside of Don Blake–like when Rick Jones takes over the body of Mar-Vell. Not sure what happens to Don when Thor takes over, though.
I’m a big fan of Neal Adams (how can a comic fan not be), so it’s a treat to see him illustrate Thor…But the mood is definitely different. It all feels less regal and more superheroic. And I had to share the above panel. I mean, come on. Implied penis anyone?
There’s also an extended Mephisto appearance, which is the first time the character appeared outside of the Silver Surfer.
