There was no follow - up to this game for days , leave rooter wondering what Loki actually saw in his future . The doubt is finally answered inDefenders : Beyond#5 , by Al Ewing and Javier Rodrìguez . In the serial , a team of heroes ( which includesa version of Loki who survived the end of the Seventh Cosmos ) is chosen by Eternity , the incarnation of Marvel ’s Eighth Cosmos , to travel back through the premature iterations of the Multiverse and learn about a mystic unexampled menace to realism . In the final issue , the Defenders land in the House of Ideas , a metatextual representation of Marvel Comics itself , which dish as the last stop between the comics cosmos and its Creator in the existent one .

Marvel Reveals What Loki Saw At The End OfInfinity Wars
The Loki of the Eighth Cosmos , who was also trying to get a glimpse of the inception of his reality , realized that he would never actually get there ( to the House of Ideas ) , but another version of him would , which is why he laughed and said : " So that ’s the way it goes " . It ’s very unlikely that this is whatInfinity Warsauthor Gerry Duggan envision all along . More belike , this connection is due toDefenders : Beyond ’s writer Al Ewing ’s passion for Marvel ’s history , including the most late one . Ewing love to cite other stories in his own workplace , and he always strives to paint a big , coherent picture that includes everything that ever pass in Marvel ’s crazy account . On this occasion , he tied up Duggan ’s liberal plot thread and also gave a brief account of the front of the Celestials : erupt through the Quarry of Creation , Loki reached the showtime of the Marvel Multiverse , the First Cosmos , where he see the First Celestials make the first Infinity Stones .
The reason why Ewing determine to circulate back toInfinity Warsis that , in this number ofDefenders : Beyond , the Loki of the Eighth Cosmos gets " overwritten " bythe Loki of the Seventh , who is much more democratic with sports fan . While this does not makeInfinity Warsless chaotic , the ending of that outcome at least now make some good sense thanks toDefenders : Beyondand Al Ewing ’s undeterred passion for theLokicharacter .
