In "Ludwig's Children," Thor finds himself in a twisted mirror realm where his role as protector has been reversed—now seen as a tyrant, while Loki is revered as a hero. Written by William Messner-Loebs and brought to life with striking art by Mike Deodato Jr., this 1996 issue explores identity and perception in a world where gods are judged by their deeds, not their names. The cover by Mike Deodato Jr. captures the eerie contrast of this alternate reality.
