I get you completely. YA was my first Marvel comic, and it didn't particularly blow me away. However, JiM is one of my favorites ever.

I think cohesive stories are more normal in miniseries at Marvel/DC than in longish stuff. I dig Thor comics, but whenever there's a change of writers sometimes it turns into another thing, and the new JiM run sounds awesome and I'm looking forward to it but it's not planned. I guess it's the same with the other iconic big heroes. Gillen's JiM in the end was a sort of critic to the status quo that won't let characters change and grow, so Kid Loki's development was meant to make a point.

But for conclusive plot and characters, I think it's safer to go for short series or even go straight to indie comics and Vertigo. It's less frequent for those to be butchered or retconned in order to milk a cash cow... usually, at least.

Man I am feeling like the dumbest person ever now. I've been so caught up in tumblr-esque ~feels~ that I completely missed how the end of JiM is the perfect FUCK YOU to the whole concept of Marvel Time.

brb, must to re-read the whole run while keeping this in mind.

Also remember - fic!Leah is a "FUCK YOU" to stagnant character-writing, ie the shittiness of never letting characters grow and change AND also a criticism of how shitty it is when female characters are used as one-dimensional plot devices!

Journey Into Mystery is just fucking awesome and fantastically meta, all around.

BUT WHAT IS THORI?!?

I hadn't seen that essay, thank you for the link!

Y-your icon ;A;

There's this cool essay about JiM and its audience and the Status Quo is God thing. And Gillen just confirmed today that he couldn't do anything else, and I was surprised by his (devastating) sincerity about how Marvel can be. (Warning to others: both links have spoilers of the Rosebud variety for JiM)

Thank you for the links! Gillen's explanation of the ending...well, it doesn't make it happy, but it does soften the blow a bit, knowing that Kid Loki is safe in one sense, at least.
