I really love Loki in all of his forms: Old Loki, Kid Loki, Marvel Now Loki, Lady Loki, Silver Age Loki…he’s incredibly fun to read about and it’s always cool to see how/when he’s pulling strings behind the scenes. Plus I like to see what he can get away with before someone realizes just what he’s doing. This series is no different. Loki is dealing with some serious guilt (for events I won’t mention just in case you haven’t read Young Avengers) and now he’s taking missions from All Mother Frigga in order to atone for his “sins”. He’s allowed to use whatever means is deemed necessary and he soon collects a small effective team.Loki is charmingly devious when it comes to getting things done, and he makes a really good anti-hero. But like all things with Loki, everything is no so simple or what it looks like.
This first volume has some excellent issues in it, I love the portion with Sigurd and Loki on a mountain as well as one of the stories about Old Loki trying to get gold from a fish.
I’m looking forward to continuing this one and I’d definitely say it’s a strong start for this series, here’s hoping that Marvel keeps it going. Obviously the fans of movie Loki will enjoy this one, but I also think anyone who enjoys Thor comics should try it out and see how it goes.
