From Asgard to Oklahoma, from Latveria to Hell, the Trickster has involved the likes of Dr. Doom, Hela, Norman Osborn and even Mephisto to meet his sinister goals. But when his plans spiral out of control - culminating in the Siege of Asgard and the return of an ancient evil so terrible it means certain disaster to even speak its name - it's up to Thor and his fellow Asgardians to save the day. But who, if anyone, will save Loki? And what soul-saving part does Dani Moonstar of the New Mutants have to play?

All this and more by one of today's most celebrated Asgardian chroniclers, fan-favorite scribe Kieron Gillen!

1st printing. Written by Keshni Kashyap. Art and cover by Mari Araki. Tina M., sophomore, is a wry and endearing observer of the cliques and mores of Yarborough Academy. ("The name makes it sound fancier than all the public schools in the area. You'd really think the Prince of Wales attended.") And of the foibles of her Southern California intellectual Indian family. She's on a first-name basis with Jean-Paul Sartre, the result of an English honors class assignment to keep an "existential diary." From Tina getting dumped by her smart-girl ally to a kiss on the mouth from a cute skateboarder, Neil Strumminger, Tina's Mouth answers the pressing question: Can an English honors assignment be one fifteen-year-old girl's path to enlightenment?
