(pg. 1) "Behold, the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard, home of the legendary Norse Gods, where Loki, god of evil, contemplates the latest... of beatings at the hands of his eternal enemy, the mighty Thor!"
(pg. 3) Loki (thinking): "Thor chooses to waste his time mingling with mere mortals instead of tending to the needs of the people in Asgard!"

Marvel Knights Spider-Man #13 (June 2005): "Wild Blue Yonder, Part One", page 1, panel 4:

And your little comment to Hawkeye there, about power struggles? Oh! Loki laughed. Yes, you've never taken part in power struggles. No, no. The Aesir are so innocent of turf battles and petty feuds. We could give lessons. Ha ha ha!

Note: Loki speaks sarcastically to Thor in reference to power struggles within Asgardian society after Thor speaks dismissively of power struggles within the Ultimates and SHIELD.
