The Tenth Realm, Thor, Loki, Angela, Original Sins, Loki vs. Doom etc.
"Thor and Loki: The 10th Realm" concludes in early September, and that same month "Loki: Agent of Asgard" returns with issue #6, which is a "March to AXIS" tie-in that brings Loki face to face with not only Doctor Doom but Valeria Richards. How would you describe the dynamic between these three characters? What's it like playing them off of each other?
Doom and Valeria's dynamic I try to get from "Fantastic Four" as much as possible, so readers are advised to check that series out. I'd say Valeria is the one human being on Earth Doom cares about, and she's the only person on Earth who truly cares about Doom. It's very sweet, really.
As for Doom and Loki -- well Loki's put one over on Doom in the past, and sees no reason why he can't do it every time without fail. Except he's not the Loki he was, and things have changed. Meanwhile, Doom is -- extremely dangerous. He sees himself as the Overman -- he's overcome human failings to become something greater than human. I'd say it's quite Nietzschian, but Doom thinks he's a better philosopher than Nietzsche, and he's had several books of philosophy published to prove it. Anyway, Doom's spent a great deal of energy on the quest to achieve godhood -- so from his perspective, this is pretty much an evenly-matched fight. And he may be right."
This should fun to see. Doom is one of the few beings in the Marvel Universe who can match wits with Loki but the Trickster should always be more cunning of the two. Granted he's not the god he once was.

"We know that the plot of "The Tenth Realm" involves the revelation that "Guardians of the Galaxy's" Angela is Odin's illegitimate daughter and hails from a secret Tenth realm of Asgard, but how does the story get rolling? What else do you want readers to know about the plot of the story?
Actually, Angela's more legitimate than Thor. (Although 'illegitimate' isn't that cool a word for a child born out of wedlock like what half the babies I know are. Those babies are too legit to quit in my opinion.)"

Just how much of Asgardian history will this shit retcon?
At least the art will be nice:
