I love this page. Guest artist TL Collins did a fantastic job with it.
I'm not sure what just happened, but it's quite interesting.
Also, "pop!"
OK so Odin left and took everything with him after that last statement. The home of the Norse Gods is conveniently gone with no evidence for us modern types that it ever existed, and a perfect setup for Loki to come back and start Ragnarok since Santa no longer "walks" the earth. That was the terms of his promise after all. I smell a setup for season 2, in fact it's been pretty obvious since Loki made that promise.
The Bunny screwed up big time. In "Her", remember she once said she was formerly a goddess of spring, rush to ensure her survival she's started the Apocalypse.
Khalagata has the gist of what happened. Odin left for one of the other nine worlds mentioned in Norse mythology.
As for the rest of it… good guess, but Loki doesn't appear in Volume 2.
Now, I would've thought that Odin would've thrown Santa out and erected some kind of barrier to keep the mortals out while waiting for Fenrir. Or more likely, fighting Santa and defeating/punishing him. As opposed to tucking tail and running. Or is he actually going after Loki? Because that would make more sense. Afterall, the Norse gods were a lot more battle-oriented than most other pantheons. Even most of their "non-violent" gods would fight with the right motivations.
