Vote Loki is a four-part comic book series published by Marvel Comics from June 2016 to August 2016 as a satire about the 2016 United States presidential election. Written by comic book creator Christopher Hastings, the series is centered around Loki's controversial political campaign for President of the United States and fictional reporter Nisa Contreras's attempt to prove his duplicity. When Loki's unconventional campaign — centered on the fact that he would have "the guts" to lie outright to the American people, as opposed to the majority of politicians who would just lie — takes off with a surprising amount of support, only Nisa Contreras, young journalist for the Daily Bugle, seems to be undeceived by this promise for change. The tagline for the series is "BeLIEve", playing on one of the central themes of the issues, deception. None of the issues have individual titles, and aside from the mention of 'Buzzfeed', the comic is mostly clear to not directly reference any companies or direct cultural sensations — rather than 'Twitter', there is 'Twotter', and none of the presidential candidates are mentioned by name. The compiled edition of all four issues also includes the Loki stories from Journey into Mystery issue #85 (1962), and from Avengers issue #300 (1989), re-telling Loki's comics role in creating the Avengers. Plot Issue #1 The first issue of the series (cover art by Tradd Moore) introduces main character Nisa Contreras, a Daily Bugle journalist. The issue starts off with a flashback showing the well-known battle between the Avengers and Loki in New York City from "several years ago" and its aftermath, focusing on young Nisa Contreras, while the next flashback shows her exposing an embezzling governor. Then the issue goes back to the present day, where Nisa and a bunch of other journalists are at the 'Kramco Stadium' waiting for the two main presidential candidates to come out for a debate. While talking with another reporter "Lucas" from Buzzfeed, Nisa notices that many reporters have identification badges that look different from her own. Just as she comes to said realization, it is revealed that the suspicious reporters are actually armed Hydra agents. However, before they can hurt anyone, 'Lucas from Buzzfeed' reveals himself to be the god Loki in disguise, stopping all of the criminals, and during his interrogation by the assembled reporters, he rebuts a question about whom he would potentially vote for
