Creative team is Christopher Hastings (Dr. McNinja, Adventure Time, Deadpool: Fear Itself and Longshot ) and Langdon Foss
Turns out we won't be getting any real political figures in this series, which means no Trump, but there will still be plenty of political satire.
Other highlights include Angela being his head of security, Sam Wilson getting involved and the narrator being a political journalist we can suposedly trust.

>Christoper hating
That's good. My first choice would have be elwing but hasting is good too
this... has potential.
>>80931773
>CBR News: In addition to the topical nature of the book, part of the appeal of "Vote Loki" is the chance to write Loki himself. Loki's classic incarnation is as a villain, but in recent years he's become much more complex, often falling into the anti-hero category. What's your sense of the character?
>Christopher Hastings: I love that Loki has become a deeply conflicted character in recent years. Villain to hero, to something in between -- in some ways it doesn't really change how trustworthy he actually is. When he was just a sneering Avengers villain, at least you knew for sure he was going to cause some damage. His motivations and machinations can be a bit more subtle now.
>I certainly haven't written anyone quite like, Loki. It's tough, writing a character who's smarter than you are. [Laughs] But obviously, he's quite appealing. Everyone loves a charming character who's good at what he does, even if it's lying straight to your face. I just have to plan out his schemes very carefully so he continues to look good.
>>80931773
I am only here for Hastings, honestly hope he gets to write Cap again (and by that I mean Steve).
Also no one knows WTF to do with Angela, lol.
>>80931829
>>This isn't exactly the most obvious take for a new Marvel book or a new Loki series. How did "Vote Loki" come together?M.bno longer available to write the story. So editor Wil Moss reached out to see if I had any ideas on what to do with a title like this. I've been following our current presidential race like a bad habit, and this suddenly justified all of my "research."
>So much of a presidential campaign is about perception and narrative. Truth can get muddy depending on context or lost details, and sometimes the truth even gets flat out ignored by the media and the people because there's an easier narrative that's slightly less true but easier or more attractive to follow. Loki isn't just the god of lies, he's the god of stories. Manipulating narrative will be what this is all about.
>>From whose perspective is "Vote Loki" told? And what kind of tone are you aiming for? Is this essentially a big, crazy Marvel Universe-style political satire?
>We want Loki to remain mysterious and keep some tricks up his sleeve throughout this story, so we're framing it from the point of view of a political journalist who reports on Loki throughout the campaign. She has a voice the reader can trust.
>And Marvel Universe political satire is exactly what we're going for! The bright world of superheroes allows for blowing out certain things we want to say about the political process that should be a lot of fun.
>>80931855
>>A presidential campaign isn't something even an Asgardian god and sorcerer can mount on their own. Who comprises Loki's campaign staff? Will we see some new and familiar faces working with him?
>New faces for sure. There's a Loki political action committee that's a bit overzealous, or I might say cultish to the point of even scaring Loki. We've got his sister, Angela working security for reasons yet to be revealed.
>>What about Loki's political rivals? Will some of the real world candidates running for president right now be part of "Vote Loki?" What teases can you offer up about the faces and forces opposing your title character?
>I'm afraid we're not going to be having any of the real world candidates involved in "Vote Loki." There are a few reasons not to do that, but on the most practical level, the book's schedule simply doesn't allow it. We'll already be shipping issues before the Democrat and Republican conventions.
>I will tell you that Loki's campaign will inspire one hyper-patriotic, shield bearing superhero to take a sudden interest in politics.
>>Hitting the campaign trail with you on "Vote Loki" is artist Langdon Foss, who has demonstrated a flair for character acting and humor on a number of books including the recent "Gwenpool Special." It seems like he'd be a great fit for this series, but what are you enjoying most about the collaboration?
>Well, I think you said it right there! Langdon really makes every character in his comics an individual, and that's so important on a book about politics. I also really love his more surreal, fantastical stuff, so I hope to give him some freaky magic to work with there.
>>80931855
>political journalist who reports on Loki throughout the campaign. She has a voice the reader can trust.
sally floyd
>>80931855
>she has a voice the reader can trust
VERITY WILLIS IS BACK
>>80931773
>>80931936
There's something very important we still don't know.
Who will be Loki's running mate? Place your bets people.
>>80931773
>Hastings
Fuck yeah!
>Foss
Fuck no!
>>80931844
>Also no one knows WTF to do with Angela, lol.
Everyone knows what the fuck to do with Angela, just no one at Marvel evidently.
>take a character that revolves around hunting down demons and beings that are a fusion of Venom/Symbiotes and Ghost Rider/Demons
>turn her into yet another Asgardian, divorced from any demons, hellspawn, or symbiotes
Way to fucking go, Marvel. She should be fighting Ghost Rider and Daemon Hellstrom, not Loki and Thor.
>Hastings
I'm sold
I'm even gonna buy Gwenpool
He can do no wrong IMO
>>80931936
>a PAC consisting of Loki fangirls
>people defending the guy who writes Squirrel Girl
This board gets particularly retarded at these hours.
>>80933216
Hastings isn't Ryan North.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Trump was somehow Loki using his passtime and pretending to be retarded just so he could trick people to vote for him
>>80933281
But he's a SJW and a webcomic loser too.
>>80933376
Alright
>>80932293
Loki/Viper 2016. Make America marvelous again!
Langdon Foss? Fucking Langdon Foss?
That's like taking a delicious steak and covering it in blue ketchup. Goddamn it, I was actually about to get excited about this series too.
>>80933518
Did Batman smell a fart?
>no Trump
Marvel doesn't want to offended their CEO's bitch, do they?
>>80933518
>not liking Foss
Go back to your house style, capefag.
>>80931773
>Dr. McNinja, Adventure Time, Deadpool: Fear Itself and Longshot
The best of the best, huh?
>>80931773
>Loki
>Not Doom
Make Latveria great again!
>>80933518
Would you rather the creative team be Ryan North and Erica Henderson? Thought so.
>>80933612
>implying Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe and Dr. McNinja aren't good
>>80933725
They aren't.
>>80932897
Yes, but Langdon Foss certainly can.
>>80933741
Were you born with bad taste or was it something that you developed over time?
>>80934307
No kidding. I was thinking: how bad can he be? Then I saw >>80933518 and went JUST.
That said, I am sure based Hastings' writing will save the book.
>>80934393
Says the Hastings shill.
DC did this with Etrigan already.
>>80934307
>>80934450
Get Jiro is good.
>>80934505
And they had real creators in the book.
>President? Do you know how much power I would have to give up to become president?
>>80932293
She-Hulk
someone needs to trick her into admitting she still has all her old 4th wall powers
>>80931773
>political satire
Meaning trump metaphors out the wazzo without a lick of subtlety
>make america marvelous again
BRAVO JEWVEL
>>80934505
Etrigan isn't Loki, or even similar to him
>>80934673
But anon, Marvel supports Trump.
>>80934688
One person at marvel supports trump
>>80931773
Marvel 20 years late in its aping of DC as usual, but it's okay because it's topical!
this is gonna be great. even if he resigns the very next day I just want him to win the election so that he can pull the 'I was President once' card every chance he gets
>>80934716
You work at Marvel, you support Trump.
>>80931773
>Don't blame me, I voted for Kang
>>80934639
>Foss drawing She-Hulk ever again
>>80934717
I was just about to joke about that time that Etrigan ran for president using basically the exact same platform as Trump.
>Christopher Hastings
I think it'll be really superficial, then. Not necessarily bad. The high water mark here is definite the Etrigan presidential mini.
>>80935011
Man that is a scary book on the re-read. It is literally the Trump campaign.
>>80935080
And yet you faggots are voting for him.
>>80935115
>>80935115
don't look at me, I vote independent
>>80934639
Sorry anon but Bendis is totally gonna kill her in CW2
>>80935285
they're not even pretending that death is gonna stick for more than a couple months
>Purdin opened the floor up to questions. A fan asked about Loki’s political party and if any jabs will be taken at the current election. Brevoort said that the series isn’t really a limited series and that Loki is running independent. "He is neither a mule or elephant, though he could become either. And there probably won’t be directly jabs at the current election, just because we want it to be relevant years from now." Brevoort confirmed that Angela will be in the book, "She’ll be operating as Loki’s one-person Secret Service detail, keeping him safe, walking around in the full angel garb and mirrored sunglasses. And there will be other prominent Asgardians too."
>>80935115
>not wanting Etrigan as POTUS
He ran Hell for sometime, give him a break. At least he;ll take no shit on chimpouts and such.
>>80932293
Gwenpool
not just for the meme factor, she knows which Marvel politicians have ties to supercrime and who owes who favors. She's a walking blackmail cheat sheet.
>>80935115
Fuck you, I'm one of the Republicans who will fucking leave the party if he becomes the nominee.
I've never heard of this Angela person until [unsolicited opinions about Israel?]
>>80935427
So you're a cuckservative.
>>80934993
...Oh fuck no THAT was Foss?
no pls no
>>80932293
won't it just be his living lie detector best friend?
>>80935517
>throwing support behind someone who adopts all the worst stereotypes of conservatives and Republicans as a campaign because he thinks it'll make him more appealing to those voters
>people somehow think he's great despite it all being a blatant, admitted sham that will drop the first time someone throws fat wads of cash at his sweaty face
but no, I'm the one who's not a real conservative and wants to compromise the unpinning values of this country.
>>80935647
What if it's Leah and his best friend runs his PR?
I don't get into company wars, but not going to lie, I'm going to be salty as hell when this becomes really successful while Prez languishes in obscurity.
>>80935633
>Never heard Foss' name before
OH GOD
>>80935792
That's gonna happen and you and I both know it.
>>80935882
>Marvel hiring the worst artists available
Surprise surprise!
>>80935882
The emphasis is actually on the second hey, not the last.
>>80935761
Leah got reabsorbed by Hel, and the other Leah got reabsorbed by Loki
>>80935991
>Marvel building up to a Hel/Magik Queens of the Underworld pairing
Please god yes.
Call me back when they announced "Prez" Volume 2.
>>80936056
Pretty sure Didio and the writer confirmed it for October
>>80936072
They confirmed it to coincide with the 2016 elections, but if it's still going to be a mini I would assume it would begin in May and end in November or so.
Unless they plan to put it out as a TPB or something.
>>80935882
Why does every character in this image look like a dyke?
>>80936125
They have a tumblr audience to pander to, anon.
>>80935991
No, she didn't. Fully independent Leah got sent back in time. Loki created a new Leah from Wiccan's power and absorbed that one.
>>80935882
>>80936147
oh, must have misremembered. I could have sworn the Leah in Young Avengers was the one who had been sent back in time, taking the slow path
>>80936205
Nope. Everything there happened because Loki fucked up. Including Leah. That Leah didn't want answers. She wanted absolution for Loki. A direct result of Loki trying to change.
>>80935991
there is a third one in angela who is from Battleworld.
>>80936401
>>80936269
jesus christ
>>80936401
Page?
>>80933518
Maybe Marvel editorial will reign Foss in.
Compare Erica Henderson's work for Squirrel Girl VS Jughead, for instance.
Sure, it's the same style but someone is definitely telling her to go back and redraw her hideous faces and proportions.
>>80934745
Fuck yes, Tradd!
I would be so down with a Tradd drawn Loki/Thor.
