Get ready for some seriously awesome comic book action because Loki just showed up in a major way!
Loki and Venom: A Surprising Encounter
In the latest issue of Venom #38, from Marvel Comics, something unexpected happened! It looks like this iconic Marvel villain is pulling some seriously sneaky moves, but this time, things might be getting a little too interesting. In the closing pages of the issue, Loki shows up and faces off against the future version of Venom, known as "Old Man Venom."
This isn't some ordinary villain encounter; Loki uses one of his most recognizable lines from the original Avengers movie. It seems he might be trapping this future Venom!
Old Man Venom's Predicament
"Old Man Venom" is the future version of Dylan Brock, the son of Eddie Brock (Venom's most famous host). The Venom War storyline features huge changes to Marvel's symbiote world and will make a huge impact for future storylines!
In Venom #38, Dylan Brock had to make some hard choices: To defeat Chthon, he loses key memories such as:
- His first love
- His mother
- His friends
- His own identity
It's pretty devastating, even for Venom. With a feeling of utter loss. Then Loki shows up, leaving fans wanting to know more! The next issue, Venom #39, promises huge answers for this storyline!
Loki's "Glorious Purpose"
Here's the best part of Venom #38: Loki, looking as mischievous as ever (with his iconic green and yellow outfit, complete with a horned helmet!), checks into Dylan Brock's mind, observing that the only thing left is "a purpose...a Glorious Purpose."
That line is a direct shoutout to the MCU's Avengers!
Remember Loki's line from 2012's Avengers movie? This really brings that scene back with a fresh take. In Venom #38, it takes a fresh turn. Dylan Brock lost it all! There's something even bigger here; it seems this may show an interesting moment across mediums! With future projects that may hint that there will be huge opportunities to create deeper moments!
The Antagonistic Loki
One key question that will definitely stay on peoples' minds: who exactly is Loki here? Marvel Comics description hints that Loki is looking evil! He's got this antagonistic vibe that might cause trouble. The next installment hints that Loki appears in his "most evil form,". If anything it shows there might be a significant turning point with the future Venom.
Will Old Man Venom's dedication save him, or will Loki's scheme succeed? It remains to be seen, but the upcoming Venom #39 promises a showdown! This will make or break Venom!
Venom and Loki: A Marvel Crossover
This incredible event of having Loki confront Venom shows what a crazy exciting world Marvel Comics can bring us. With an established iconic villain like Loki jumping into another famous and iconic superhero storyline with Venom. The whole storyline looks to continue with new chapters for Venom as well. Will "Old Man Venom" really prevail against everything Loki brings, only time will tell and may even signal new future stories for both Loki and Venom! For fans who haven't caught up, this crossover and tie-in looks amazing and shouldn't be missed!
