Fuego Fish posted:There was one member from 616, the rest were all alternate reality types. Kurt Waggoner was an American-born teenage Nightcrawler from a reality where humanity had been wiped out in a robot uprising, hence that scene. There was also James Howlett from a reality where he was an officer of some Canadian service, and his bones were plated with adamantine, the metal of the gods from Greek mythology, which turned out to be a gift from his secret boyfriend, Hercules. That's Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada, James Howlett, thank you. It means he was the direct representative of the Crown in Canadian Parliament. Technically, he was in charge of the country, and the Prime Minister had to get his approval, or Royal Assent, to any legislation he wanted to pass into law. It's a pretty big deal. Sorry.

And if anyone's wondering, the justification is that the Destroyer is an object, so the spell doesn't count on it. The difficulty it's having is probably because it's Odin's dickhole brother piloting it. Well, and Mjolnir wanting to go back to Thor. The final pages of that issue were pretty badass too.

I feel like Natasha should be hanging back, like "um... dude-Thor, buddy? What am I doing here? I get it when the Avengers have a big battle, or I can sneak in somewhere and blow stuff up, but... er..."

So why is Thor Odinson there if it's a clear girl power shot?

His mom came looking for him to help Lady Thor fight the Destroyer, and was all "Too bad we don't have time to raise an army" and Odinson's "Uh, we have a magic rainbow bridge and I have a list of every badass woman I know?"

616 Black Widow has powers, doesn't she? Russian super soldier serum or something IIRC.

It's a description of an rear end that has gone bad, sure. I've been reading through Sandman for the first time, and I absolutely love the way the Aesir are protrayed - Odin is a wise old cowboy and Thor is redhaired and so muscular as to look like a pink cloud. And his hammer is tiny and that's hilarious.

I might be misremembering things but didn't Thor catch wind of that tale and then later get his hands on Loki?

Not exactly: The Corinthian tracks Loki down, breaks his neck, and rips out his eyes and "eats" them with the mouths which are also his eyes which is gross, and Corinthian talks about how awesome it is to see through the eyes of a god and how Loki is immortal so having his neck broken is just going to suck PRETTY BAD, and then Thor and Odin come to collect Loki and put him back in his legendary prison where a woman drops snake venom from a bowl into his raw eye sockets and he can't even squirm around in agony any more because his neck is broken FOREVER, but while they're carrying him away Loki starts trying to tell Thor about how Loki hosed Thor's wife and Thor starts to get really mad and Loki's trying to goad Thor into killing him properly, but Odin is all like Na man Loki is a jerk and a liar, he is lying don't worry about it son and Thor is like Oh ok dad welp let's stuff his rear end back in the snake venom room!!

Ooh yeah I remember now. The Corinthian was such a cool dude. You know. For a nightmare serial killer.

Oh goddamnit. I keep skipping over Sandman panels because I'm still working my way through the tradebacks, and you lay that on me! It's not your fault. I don't expect you to spoiler a several year old comic. It's just ffffffffff , you know?

That is no where near the most shocking thing in the last half of Sandman, so don't fret too much. Also the most recent panels posted are from literally the first issue.
