Summary: Loki is brought back to Asgard after the events on Earth. He is sentenced by Odin, but not in the manner he thought and definitely not what most believe Loki deserves. Through it all, Thor keeps a close eye on Loki.

Recommendation: Long before I was introduced to Marvel’s version of Asgard’s denizens, I had developed more than a passing interest in Norse mythology so the notion that Odin is a dick of the highest order is not new to me, in fact it really is the most correct interpretation of his character that there is. He was famous for his guile and use of trickery almost more so then Loki. This story displays Odin’s dickishness to full effect, while Loki, though not absolved of his wrongdoing, is desperately trying to make sure that his actions don’t destroy the last people he cares about.
