Loki emerged triumphant and took over Asgard. He imprisoned most of the Aesir in Asgard's dungeons. But he was overthrown by Thor, when he escaped from the dungeons and all went back to normal.^[1]

• Thor: For Asgard and Loki writer Robert Rodi implied in an interview that both series were set in the same continuity, but added that a sequel to For Asgard was intended to have a connection to the Prime Marvel Universe.^[2][3] However, the follow-up was shelved, leaving the comic with an unresolved ending. Thor: For Asgard supposedly takes place after the events of Loki and confirms that Loki survived his apparent death in issue #4.
• In 2011, Loki was released in the form of the motion comic titled Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers.
• Loki #2 has a flashback sequence about Loki's failed assasination attempt involving Hoder against Balder. However, Thor: For Asgard instead has what appears to be the same exact assasination attempt actually succeed, with a dream sequence showing the assasination involving Hoder in the same role he has in Loki. This apparent condradiction between the two series is never explained, and it is also unknown if the cancelled sequel series was to explain it.
  • One possibility is that Thor: For Asgard takes place before Loki, meaning Balder was to return to life at some point prior to the events of Loki. This option would also explain Loki seemingly being alive and well in Thor: For Asgard despite his apparent death in Loki.
  • The other possibility is that the two series take place in seperate continuities. One evidence for this is Balder in Loki mentioning witnessing a timeline in which Loki's assasination attempt succeeds and results in the fall of Asgard, which is more or less what happens in Thor: For Asgard. This option would provide another explanation for how Loki seemingly evaded his apparent death.
  • A third option is that Loki simply tried assasinating Balder a second time and, Thor's dream involving Hoder is not meant to be exactly accurate to how Balder died in the second assassination attempt.
