One of my only criticisms for the past two issues of Vote
Loki has been this: while it has no problem delivering on the satire, it
doesn’t feel much like a Marvel comic book. There’s not much sense of what’s
going on beyond the fact that Loki is running for President.
I say ‘criticism’, but I honestly did not mind. There are
plenty of other comics out there, and if this one simply wants to focus on
political parody, that’s fine by me.
Unfortunately, Vote Loki #3 decided to focus on the Marvel
Universe, for a change. While it is fascinating to see a war-torn Latveria
struggling in the wake of Dr. Doom's departure, it also results in a plot
basically identical to that of the last issue.
Nisa uses her intrepid journalistic skills to uncover a scandal
in Loki’s campaign, everyone assumes that this marks the end of his
presidential bid, then Loki speaks out, everyone loves it, and his popularity
just ends up rising.

Well he's never gon' be President now! |
Aside from the slightly heavy Latveria plot, there are a few
more fun moments, like the first debate between all three candidates, which
sadly doesn’t go on for as long as you’d hope, and Loki at a State Fair.

Aranwe Quirke is a totally real, definitely not made up name. No, you may not see the birth certificate.
