Quarter-Bin Podcast #56 Loki Agent of Asgard #1 & #2, Marvel Now!, cover-dated April & May, 2014 How did Professor Alan such new comics in a cheap bin? Does that speak to the low quality of the book? Or was it a clerical error at the store -- perhaps a trick being pulled by a certain young Asgardian who likes that sort of thing? Perhaps the all-mother(s) has (have) tasked Loki with the responsibility of getting these issues on the podcast. And does Loki really go speed-dating in one of these issues? Really?
