Marvel Wants You to Vote for Loki for President
As you know, election season is in full swing, and Marvel has thrown their candidate into the mix. They want you to vote for Loki!
The God of Mischief is looking for your vote this June in his new comic series, Vote Loki. Now you can wait until later this year when the full book is released to vote, or you can vote in the Marvel Universe caucus below thanks to Twitter.
Before you cast your vote, here is some additional information on the Vote Loki series from the press release:
He's a known liar, he's got a rocky relationship with his parents, and he's struggling to escape his controversial past--what about Loki doesn't scream Presidential candidate?
Yep, the Asgardian Trickster will be making a run for the White House in VOTE LOKI, a new series coming this June from Marvel.
"Loki decides to run for President of the United States," spells out editor Wil Moss. "And somehow he attracts a lot of supporters! How? Why is he running? Will he actually win? How pissed is Thor? All will be answered!"
VOTE LOKI marks a unexpectedly natural progression for the character from traditionally hated villain to the bad boy fans love to at least like.
"I'd say it's been a combination of Kieron Gillen's JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY comics and Tom Hiddleston and Joss Whedon's take on him in the movies," opines Moss of Loki's surge in popularity. "They all kept Loki true to who he's always been--trouble incarnate, basically--but they did so in a charming and relatable way. Loki went from being a scheming nuisance to a bad guy you couldn't help but root for."
Moss promises longtime Loki backers and new fans alike will be able to enjoy VOTE LOKI:
"It's the same Loki readers have come to know and love over the past few years, just with...new ambitions. The real reason he's running is a mystery, but I promise it'll be a satisfying one--to new readers, yes, but especially to existing Loki fans."
This sounds like it will be a fun story arc to read, and they are having fun with it by letting the fans interact. My question to you is, do you think Loki would make a better president than Donald Trump?
