Warning: Spoilers for Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #14!The family of Thor steadily expands as King Loki gives birth to space monsters. The strongest gods in Marvel lore happen to hail from Thor's family tree. Though not by blood, Thor and Loki consider each other brothers. Loki finds a way to add to this family tree, again, not by blood, but by his own creation.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #14 reveals one of the many monstrous children whom Loki has birthed by creating his own universe. Ahead of the comic's June 4 release, a preview of the issue can be found below, including cover art by Mark Brooks.

As seen above, Thor's brother is attacked by a space monster of his own creation, alluding to a bigger family tree that he's crafted himself. King Loki is seized by a beast calling him "Father," and in all likelihood, this won't be the last monster that Loki will have to contend with.

Thor's Brother, Loki, Builds a Universe Filled with His Children of Monsters

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #14 by Stephanie Phillips, Paolo Villanelli, Matt Milla, and VC's Ariana Maher

The end of Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider sees the title character confronted by Thor's little brother, Loki. He recruits Spider-Gwen with new Iron Man-esque armor to help him save the universe. This is a future version of Loki within the multiverse who promises he's "not like the other Lokis ... I am the Loki who will rebuild the universe." And so he does, as King Loki plans to use the Cosmic Cube to reshape the universe to his liking. This proves difficult when the Cube bonds with Gwen.

So, Loki tries to show Gwen the worst of the universe to convince her to alter everything in his image. In a twist, with help from Jean Grey, Gwen harnesses the power of the Cube to send Loki to a world of his creation to prove that a universe made by his hand is bound to turn to ash. Loki believes that a world filled with "monsters and men created in the pursuit of perfection ... all taking a knee before their Grand Creator" is an ideal world, but being attacked by one of his creations seems to change his mind.

Loki Has Always Had Monsters for Children in the Comics

These New Monsters are Different Because They Were Created Artificially

In the comics, Loki has had countless children all too weird for the MCU. It's been mentioned in ing he could have hundreds of children across the universe, while only a handful, like Morwen, the First Sorcerer of Chaos, have been confirmed and seen on-. Spider-Gwen manages to canonie more children for Loki, but children who symbolie his downfall. This isn't a Zeus situation of Loki re-producing everywhere his heart contents, but its Loki deliberately creating children for a better world, only for it to all backfire on Thor's brother.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #14 will be available from Marvel on June 4.
