A 2011 "revival" of Marvel Comics's Journey into Mystery line by Kieron Gillen, who had previously written for The Mighty Thor. It began in 2011 and ran for 23 issues.Fear Itself looms across the Marvel Universe, and the fate of the universe seems to lie in Thor's trickster brother Loki, reincarnated into a child ("Kid Loki") following the events of Siege, himself wrestling with his own morality and destiny.After issue 645, the focus of the book shifted to the other Asgardians — for tropes in this run, see Journey into Mystery (Immonen). Kid Loki's story continued in Young Avengers's second volume, also written by Gillen.

comment
Creating Life Is Unforeseen: Young Loki, in an effort to humanize the Serpent, an unbeatable enemy, added a romantic sub-plot to his biography. Said sub-plot, who was modelled after his best friend Leah, later appeared basically to go Rage Against the Heavens / Rage Against the Author on his ass. At the end it was revealed that she grew up to become the goddess Hela.

 Journey into Mystery (Gillen) (Comic Book) / int_1c5599e4
comment
Reformed, but Rejected: Kid Loki, who was genuinely determined to be good, was universally distrusted and the general assumption was that it was all a scheme. And the assumption was right. But it wasn't Kid Loki's scheme: he was just its victim.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Despite everything he accomplished, the friends that he made and the respect and trust that he earned, kid Loki ends up being annihilated and replaced by old Loki with no one the wiser to his fate. Sure, he won in that he was good, but it still means nothing in the long run. Because status quo is God in mainstream superhero comic books.

Guile Hero: Kid Loki. He can't fight physically. He has no magic. All he has to go on is his wits and he's got a reputation as a scheming, deceitful bastard who can't be trusted, which makes his job even more difficult. He's usually trying to trick ancient and powerful beings, some of whom are no slouches themselves when it comes to deceit. Even the soul of his evil adult self gets played by Kid Loki. Yes, he's so good he can trick himself, the God of Lies.

Also, the covers of Journey Into Mystery 623 and Journey Into Mystery 645 (the second and last issues of the run) are inversions of one another. Journey Into Mystery 622 starts with the line, "In the end, many of the answers ended up being 'Loki'." Journey Into Mystery 645 starts with the same phrase, only "the end" is replaced with "the beginning".

Almost Kiss: Kid Loki and Leah have one near the end of Everything Burns, as they're both about to be violently killed by Surtur. They get interrupted by Thor and his army, complete with a lampshade from Loki about how perfect the timing was. Sadly, it's one of the last moments Leah and Loki have together before everything turns to shit, which would have made this both their First Kiss and Last Kiss, had they actually been allowed to do it. While it's obvious they care deeply for each other, this Almost Kiss is the closest they get to expressing it.

Memory Gambit: Loki's reason for creating kid Loki via his resurrection without his memories in the first place. He sets himself up with a new, baggage-free life in order to regain trust among those that wouldn't before for one of his own schemes that would allow 'him' to change, all the while setting things up to create a situation that would force kid Loki to take on his personality. Kid Loki claims victory in that he "dies" knowing he did change, while the original Loki setting up this scheme in the first place proves he never will. And it later turned out that the scheme resulted in a new Loki, who takes after both of them, but is neither of them. Shouldn't the guy be called Loki Lokison by this point?

Issue 643 Leah is revealed to be the Leah that Loki wrote into the Serpent's story, and then Loki tells her that he's sick of being hated and mistrusted by the Asgardians, that he resents Thor for bringing him back to them, that he honestly is upset about what happened to Leah and wants to help her, and that he wants to let everyone burn in Surtur's fires. And then he dumps Thor into a lake of lava. It turned out later he hadn't really switched sides, but he still dumped Thor in the lava and (probably) wasn't even lying about most of what he told her.

Big Bad: First arc of Kid Loki's run starts with Serpent and sets up Surtur and Mephisto for rest of the story. Turns out they all were pawns of Old Loki.

My God, What Have I Done?: This is Loki's reaction after seeing the Manchester Gods working with Surtur. After taking over his younger self's body, Loki's last lines in 645 of "Damn me." seem to imply this. Unfortunately, he follows it up with "Damn you all." Later series confirmed that: Yes, he really does blame himself for this.

Metaphorically True: Loki, as part of his reform, tries to get through his schemes without lying. He mostly succeeds, through the use of this trope. ("I said I'd let you destroy Asgard. I didn't say which Asgard.")

Hope Spot

comment
Hope Spot: At the end of the Everything Burns crossover with The Mighty Thor, they've succeeded in defeating Surtur, Loki's been definitively given Thor's trust, the Nine Realms know that it was Loki who saved them, Leah's back (sort of) and they're all going to live happily ever after. JUST KIDDING Mephisto has the Fear Crown and Loki has to annihilate himself to get rid of it. Loki's "Damn me" on the final page could be seen as a hope spot. As far as character development goes, being able to admit that he is at fault is absolutely huge for Loki and it indicates that Kid Loki's final words have achieved something significant. Unfortunately he quickly follows it up with a more standard "Damn you all" indicating a return to his old self. Later series confirmed that: no, he didn't return to his old self, and is quite determined to not become like that again, for his misfortune many many people want him to.

Suicide for Others' Happiness: The story concludes with young Loki discovering he wasn't really an reincarnation of the original Loki, only an innocent clone of sorts, whom the original intended from the start to eventually erase from existence and take the body of, with his good name restored, in order to get back to backstabbing everyone whose trust Kid Loki had re-earned. Kid Loki is horrified- but Loki had also manipulated him into creating a MacGuffin currently causing a multiverse-endangering civil war that will only exist as long as Kid Loki does. Kid Loki ultimately agrees to be erased from existence so that his family- particularly Hela and Thor- don't get dragged down in the war and are allowed to be happy.

Brick Joke: Early in the run, there is a bit of narration that refers to Leah as Hela's left hand, in contrast to Tyr being Hela's right. Turns out that she is literally Hela's hand, although the artists never seem to agree on whether it's her left or her right In Journey Into Mystery 625, Loki is dealing with the aftermath of bringing some dire news to Hela. When he recives worse news, he reports to her handmaiden Leah, who tells him he "already brought" dire news, so he corrects himself with "Dire-er news!" Almost at the end of the issue, he runs up to Hela and Mephisto, who are having Parley, and loudly declares "DIRE-EST NEWS!" and Hela looks exasperated.
