I was a bit confused what it meant when Loki ate Ikol the bird inside his mind in the Everything Burns Aftermath issue. Is that him destroying the part of his mind that still had the old Loki within it? Does that mean that Mephisto can still use the Crown of Fear to take Satan's Throne and rule all the realms of Hell? Just wasn't very clear on the meaning of those last 2 pages.

I thought Mephisto was Satan

Its the opposite by swallowing Ikol he allowed Old Loki to overwrite kid Loki as represented by the line "swallow the lie" . So the Fear Crown stopped working because kid Loki no longer exists.

Here is a link to the writer talking about the ending http://kierongillen.tumblr.com/post/34522875244/one-for-sorrow-why-did-kieron-do-it

Wow that was a great link, thanks. Feeling a bit conflicted about the demise of Kid Loki; but I do like that the writer mentions he believes that Loki as a being of pure malice is a thing of the past.

@jeanroygrant: In the Marvel Universe there are multiple Hell-lords that all (falsely) claim to be Satan, due to the power that the name has since humanity believes in a single Satan. Most Hell-lords have their own realms of Hell. The real Satan has not been seen in the comics but there are references to his absence, such as the throne of Satan that lies vacant.
