#361 – Jr. Pantheon Games: The Big Welcome Home
Previously – Odin left. He didn’t really say where he was going and no one asked. Why? Because he does this throughout the Norse legends. He also had a disguise where he called himself “Vegtam the Wanderer“. Accept it… it is so.
Currently – Odin returns. Notice he returns conveniently after Backup Dad had left the premises… or had Odineye planned to be gone before Odin returned?

Just a quick note: Seth and I will be at Chicago Comic-Con this year (formerly known as Wizard World Chicago) at the Rosemont Convention Center on the weekend of August 7th. They currently have us listed at table 3712 (you can check here to make sure they don’t change it before the show begins), so feel free to stop by and chat with us. If I can get a quick enough turnaround on shipping, we should have some new t-shirt designs available there as well (hint: one has a Balder action figure on it).
Poor Odin. If it helps any, I missed him.
I suppose it would be hard for Odin to compete with the Quaff Frigg’s holding…but welcome back anyhoo…and let Eschele know she inspired an excellent arc…
I am curious, will we learn what happened to Odin?
As always, this comic is beautiful!
The creators of my 2 favorite webcomics will be representing themselves at Wizard World, eh? Nice, now I have someone else besides David Willis to spend too much time around during the convention, hehe. I also forgot to get a sketch from Seth the last time you dudes were there. Must be rectified.
I don’t suppose I could convince you guys to open a merch store and start selling Frigg-sized mead glasses?
Join the Society of Creative Anachronisms. I’ve seen merchants at events with mugs/steins that size.
Yes, and people use them, especially at feast. ;D
Man, I’ve got to get out to one of the big U.S. cons at some stage. We get cons over here in England, but nothing like the scale of those shows!
That is “Odin Triumphant” at the pantheon games on the wall in the 5th panel…isn’t it…niiicce segue to the junior pantheon games?…
Wait a sec…Odin isn’t Loki’s dad! Why is Loki referring to Odin as his real dad?
Methinks he’s kinda teasing Odin, in a backhanded sarcastic way. Not only is Odin “raising” Loki this iteration around, but he’s also implying that the whole family preferred their “backup” dad better than the real deal.
New reader! Woo! Poor Odin, he’s so unloved, but to Pietro: I think Balder is talking, not Loki. Gotta say, I’m loving the art, the storylines and I am now a self-proclaimed Balder Fan. What can I say, I like my guys cute, cuddly, and somewhat cowardly. Anxiously awaiting the next update!
P.S. Where’s Hod in the family panel? Even the crow is there!
Oh, you’re right!
Hod isn’t the only one missing though, Heimdall and Sif aren’t in there either, amongst others. So it’s probably a “We’re too lazy to do anything so we’re sitting here with mom”, while Hod writes dark poetry and cries icicles, and Sif works on a not-so-evil plan to win Thor’s heart.
Read: Business as normal.
I didn’t think Heimdal and Sif actually lived there anyway.
I’m having a “next/previous comic” error here. Comic 360′s “next” button gives me #362, and while #362′s “last” button gives me #361, #361 doesn’t even HAVE a “previous” button…
Using firefox, but unsure that matters.
Thanks for pointing that out. Should be fixed now.
I see that Odin found time for a body wax … ^_^
