This was a LOT better than what I thought it would be. The current state of Marvel (movies and TV series) is not at its height, though not at its lowest, either. A good story...is VERY much needed...and I believe that this first book in this series was a homerun, or at least a triple.
I have watched all the Marvel movies, for the most part, and some of them MANY times. I have not watched all the latest TV series...and have felt that there's been TOO much, and not enough good.
So, when I reached for this book, it was with LOW expectations. Also, I have not liked the "What if...?" animation...S1 (only watching the first three or four). Not sure why it didn't work.
Now, this book/story was amazing.
I loved ALL the characters represented within this story. Obviously, since the Loki TV series...I've fallen in love with that character. I also have a stronger love for the Thor movies, than most. Been in love with the actress Natalie Portman...since her first appearance in Leon: The Professional...and her Star Wars stint as Padmé (and even her SNL skits). And happy with her time as Jane Foster, too.
There are sad things that happened within this story, and I was NOT happy with all of them (veiled hint within this sentence).
I actually shed tears nearing the end of this story. I'm a parent, have three children, and would/have fought for them...in their best interests...too.
Loved this "What if...Loki was Worthy? story, and I believe the author threaded the needle in this story with amazing deft.
Runa as a character was classic, and how Donna was in this story.
Quinn is precious and pure...and even Pepper Potts was amazing.
I, myself am a Captain America fan, and just tolerate Iron Man, but I also didn't want him to be dissed in the Elsewhere story.
I also feel that Asgard was represented magnificently, too.
When reading this story, I was transported there.
So thankful...that I read this book. Funny thing, is...that I am reading this series...to get to Mike Chen's book, Marvel 03 What If . . . Marc Spector Was Host to Venom. So...one down, and two to go...so far.
