Turning Thor into a frog is *exactly* the sort of thing the mythological Loki would have done. He was the god of mischief, not evil as Marvel has generally assumed. Thor is currently my favorite Marvel title, largely because Simonson is so good at capturing the spirit of the old myths. Any ideas on what the teaser at the end of #366 means? (The King is dead, long live the king (or should it be the other way round)). It is depressingly easy to interpret this to mean that Odin is returning-- more proof that nothing ever changes at the Marvel house of ideas. Have a nice day, Soren Petersen
