Is this about the ending again? Just curious.

Someone needs a nail clipper.

[(Anonymous)]

That picture's from the last issue, so I'm thinking yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally OT, but that comedy/tragedy tagline is wonderfully evocative :) Is it original, or is it taken from an older work?

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, it gave me shivers, and I know nothing about whatever that is in the picture.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm pretty sure the writer came up with it himself. There are a lot of allusions in this comic, but I don't think that's one of them.

[deadtree]

agreed, it's lovely

[(Anonymous)]

What is the fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

Journey Into Mystery

[(Anonymous)]

Checking it out now. Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

You're welcome.

Sort of.

I guess.

It's the 2011 run by Kieron Gillen, by the way, so make sure you're looking for that.

[(Anonymous)]

ME NEITHER.

Like, I thought I was almost over it and then I read this. http://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.ca/2012/11/on-kid-lokis-drowning-without-even.html

[terabient]

I hadn't seen that, thanks for the link.

Or not, because now I need to go sob into a pillow over fictional characters.

(huge JIM spoilers, I guess)

[(Anonymous)]

No grand narrative, religious or otherwise, can offer the slightest comfort to Kid Loki at the end. All he has is the bitter consolation of knowing that he did his best and succeeded in something of what he set out to. But in the end, even the story of that dies with him. No-one will ever know that he lived and struggled and died as he did, and he's certainly not the slightest hope of ever returning to those he cared for. Even the traces of good faith which he'd established - such as with his brother, "the biggest, sweetest idiot in the nine realms" - will be used against the very people who'd slowly developed a measure of trust in him. It's possibly the single most horrifying moment that either of the Big Two's comics have ever presented, and it makes the swallowing up and destruction of Kid Loki's individuality all the more disturbingly memorable.



Well.

That's. Uh.

:(

[terabient]

I thought I was over it, and then I read this secret.

:(

[(Anonymous)]

your icon



:((((((

[agentcthulhu]

You're not alone.

And I'm not crying.

[(Anonymous)]

There's some fictional deaths you never recover from. It's okay, OP, you're not alone.

[taotrooper]

It'll never be okay. And I feel like a fanbrat because I'm still constantly sad and I usually just recover fine from sad endings, but I can't really shake it away.

[cloud_riven]

I'm actually okay with it, despite the tears uh. i thought it was perfect. maybe i secretly like crying.

[(Anonymous)]

There is in no effing way I am ever able to get over this.

This is the most horrible ending for one of the most precious characters I've ever read about. How can Kieron Gillen sleep at night after writing this heartwrenching thing.

I feel like the fandom is passing on and I'm still stuck on the fucking nopetrain to nopetown.
