Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Writing Loki Miniseries!

Not a mildly funny title as per usual, but this doesn't require mild funniness. This is a situation of DIRE REVERENCE. Everyone bow their heads and contemplate for a minute just what it means for us as a whole.
Thank you. Now, let's get to the details! RAS is writing a four-issue miniseries focusing on the life and times of the recently-exploded Norse God Loki. Starting in October, the mini promises to not only look back on some of the definitive moments for the character, but also to reveal some of the previously-unknown parts of the character's life which have left a distinct impression. Although Thor and Odin will turn up, along with Balder (Baldur? Oh dear, Marvel); the focus will mainly be on the Mischievious One. Apparently Loki has some family, so RAS will deal with them for a bit as well as shed a new light on Loki: turning him into a tragic figure.

Sebastian Fiumara will pencil, and as he turns in astonishing work like this:

There really isn't anything about this project which we don't like!
