"Ah, misdirection. What sweet chaos you bring."I thoroughly enjoyed this volume and the promise this ongoing storyline holds.The art style is appealing and consistent in it's attention to detail, conveying the plot sometimes with more impact than even the dialogue. Female characters who look similar are still easily distinguishable from each other, and the re-invented Loki retains the wry charm one would expect...even if he did frequently resemble a young John Travolta.(Seriously, the urge to s
I liked: Loki, runes, Thor trusting Loki, Verity, Loki saving Thor Content: PG-13
This series is really fun!Initially I was a bit confused about kid Loki, old Loki and well, Loki. Now I understand that to understand that one needs to read Journey into Mystery: Fear Itself and Young Avengers, no clue which one. My half-baked knowledge acquired from half-hearted research says that the old Loki is the original God of Mischief. And as the popular saying goes, "No one stays dead in comics except uncle Ben and Bucky who also has been very unfortunately revived. Why does no one seem...
That was much better than I expected it to be.I've never really been a big fan of Thor or Loki, but this new version of Loki is very likable and I can see why people love him so much. The artwork was pretty great. The dialogue was funny without sacrificing all seriousness, and the plot was interesting. I also liked other characters that were introduced here, and the appearance of the Avengers was good fun.I will likely continue this series, and I hope they keep Loki like this.
Loki: Agent of Asgard, Vol. 1: Trust Me by Al Ewing was fun, bit I felt a little out of the loop. I'm going to have to try Kieron Gillen's Loki and Kid Loki as well. Loki is one of my favorite characters from the MCU, so I'm just glad I get the chance to see more of the character on the page.
I think I needed more of Journey into Mystery and general Thor comics to really understand what's going on here, but it's a fun ride anyway. It continues the kid!Loki storyline -- except he's all grown up now, thanks to Billy Kaplan of the Young Avengers. So we get to see Loki living in Midgard, with a fancy apartment and an unfortunate resemblance to Harry Styles. We get to see a bit more of the "new" Loki interacting with Thor, and the continuing saga of many Lokis that is the whole plot with
Fantastic. And here I was worried. Gillen has just done such a fantastic job with Loki's journey to this point that I wasn't sure about another writer getting his hands on the character. I shouldn't have been. Ewing has nailed virtually every aspect of this book. Loki's voice fits perfectly with the Loki that we last saw in Young Avengers. He's smart, he's snarky, and he runs his own agenda. I like that, by and large, each issue stands on its own while adding to an overarching story. It's kind o...
Bullet Review:What the...?!Good art, neat characters, funny liners...but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?! And why is another comic (Mighty Avengers, Thor, Avengers, etc.) is being advertised???Maybe if I followed every single Marvel line along with Loki's massive backstory, I'd be able to follow this, but I'm just a newbie.But there WERE some good one liners, so there was that.
Well damn, I finally found a Loki story I actually like. After Journey into Mystery I didn't think I'd ever read this. I kind of had it on the backlog but just never thought to really check it out. However, I picked this up and figured fuck it. I'll try it. Glad I did though! Loki is a new man. He's working for the all mother and trying to be a, well agent of Asgard. In doing so of course comes a lot of backstabbing and lying but that's part of who Loki is. The best part is the reveal of who Lok...
LOVE!!!!
Tom Hiddleston – what a dreamboat, right, ladies? Hubba hubba! At least, I assume that’s what his many fans think of him! Nevertheless, he’s made Loki enormously popular and well-known with his performances in the Marvel movies so it makes sense to give the character his own series. Kid Loki from Kieron Gillen’s Young Avengers series is “dead” – long live the Harry Styles-lookalike (Loki-alike?) Loki, a twentysomething hunk who goes on James Bond-esque missions for the All-Mother! After stealing...
Well that was delicious.
So yeah, movie Loki I like. So I been in a comic mood lately and so thought, why not read a Loki comic. This one was weird. The art was good, the characters were interesting and well, seeing the different Loki styles, etc. But at the same time I was like, wait, what's going on? Either way, interesting read I guess.
I own this book. Oh my god, I loved this book. Basically, Loki died and was reborn into a younger body. This younger body is now working for the All-Mother as an agent of Asgard, completing missions and tasks, and even saving Thor, his brother with whom for centuries he has had a complicated relationship. But Loki suspects something darker is going on and begins to recruit his own agents to find out what the All-Mother is hiding from him. What he finds, is himself. This book really plays on th
I'm not really a fan of Hiddleston as a sex symbol, but I know a lot of you ladies are, so...You're welcome.As far as this title went, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It mixes up the god of Mischief with a James Bondesque con man and spits out a fun tongue-in-cheek heist caper.Loki has steadily grown in popularity with the mainstream audiences since his appearances in the Marvel movies, so we're now seeing this translate into comic book titles. Sometimes, a move like this can backfire and alienate the
Loki is trying to change his fate and rewrite his story, but it won't be easy.Trust Me missed the mark for me on all points. It's not clever, funny, action packed, or insightful.It attempts to be cute, but it simply isn't cute. I don't see anything appealing to the story.
Al Ewing follows on from Kieron Gillen and takes over writing duties for Loki. It was always going to be a tough sell to me, because Gillen's Journey Into Mystery and Young Avengers are two of my favourite comics, mostly down to how he writes Loki, so the guy who came on after had a lot to live up too. His first arc is fine, it's an enjoyable take on Loki being more of a Secret Agent character (like he was for some parts of JiM), but it's not a take I think I'm interested in reading further into...
Second read: still just ridiculously enjoyable - the riddles, deceits and tricks (not to mention AWFUL puns) fold in on themselves like that universal serpent. This time I swear I’m going to carry this momentum forward and read further into this series. Al Ewing deserves it.First review:Just stupidly fun - which is to say, super-clever with words, plot and subterfuge. What is it about Loki stories that brings out this kind of writing? Do Marvel’s editors have some kind of spell craft in the clos...
Loki was a pleasant surprise. Loki has been "reborn" as a much younger version of himself. Apparently he wants to be the god of Mischief and not the god of Evil. But the "old" Loki is still around.The story starts with the All-Mother (WTF?!! Seriously? *sigh*) has decided to turn the new Loki into an "agent of Asgard" and he performs missions for them. The story has good humor and tells an interesting story. If there was an irritating thing..it would have to be the SJW Sigurd. He's Black. Talk a...
Back in the day, comics-Loki is an ugly piece of shit villain who is also an eternal prankster and an exponentially talented liar whom you will damn well assume never gets invited to family reunions (but is probably there for the really dangerous parties). Thanks to the lovely British actor Tom Hiddleston making his mark with the cinematic role version, I could never look at this comic book character in any way, shape or form that doesn't portray him anything less than hunky and a tad bit emo-ta...
