Question about Leah from Journey into Mystery...

[weshes195]

Hey, I just finished the Everything Burns storyline (except for JIM 645) and I was a little bit confused on a couple of things. I should let yall know I haven't read the first 2 trades (I started reading when Loki got his hell puppy).

So, is the Leah at the end of the big storyline the same one as the first one? I ask this because didn't Leah die when Hela got her hand back? Wasn't that Leah the leah from that book? When Loki wrote in it again, I thought it only changed her feelings for him. At the end, Loki says that she is from the book, so the original Leah is dead?

I am sorry if I sound confusing. I am loving this comic and I have already ordered the previous 2 trades.

Thank You!

Read JIM #645. It will explain who is exactly this Leah is.

I read it as something like this (though I still need the first trade, the "prelude" stuff from Siege, and the Terrorism Myth):

- Hela created Leah 1 as a helper for Loki for some reason
- Loki uses Twilight's Shadow to pen a version of Leah ("Leah 2") into the Serpent's past (metaphorically making Loki the father of Leah 2)
- Leah 1 is re-absorbed into Hela at the end of Manchester Gods
- Leah 2 turns up working for Surtur during Everything Burns; Loki further develops her past, giving her more personality
- Loki fears his evil future, so he asks Hela to send Leah 2 into the distant past
- Leah 2 grows up to be Hela. Hela remembers Kid Loki's affection for her in her youth, so she creates Leah 1 to re-create some of those experiences. Or maybe she just figures she owes her "father" a favor.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Did I get it right?

Thanks, but I just found out that I had it!!!! (Must have been a gift? Don't remember buying it with the rest of the run...) I finished it, okay, NOW I understand!

Thanks R...uh red hulk poster (lol sorry don't know how to write that name)!!! Okay, I was getting worried that Loki was basically caring about two different people!
But, since Leah was Hela all along, I assume Leah 2 knew everything Leah 1 does, right?

I cried after reading 645. I am going to miss innocent Loki!!!!

I cried after reading 645.

That's OK. We all did. It just means you're human.
