I thought it was fun.The God Who Fell To Earth had an Agent of Asgard feel to it that I really enjoyed. He's trying to worm his way into the Avengers and figure out where he fits into the world now that he isn't trying to destroy it. Basically, Loki finally gets everything he wanted and now he has no idea what to do with himself. So.He does what he does best and causes a little bit of trouble. <--mostly for himself, though.There's a run-in with Iron Man, some creepy celestial kids, and there's e...
The series had potential as Loki strives to become an Avenger but the writing lacks focus, flitting from story to story. Maybe if Marvel hadn't cancelled it before it was published it would have received that focus.
“Loki is a story about – and “for”, and honestly “by” – the kids who really try to do everything right and still get punished for it. Those who can’t shut off their minds, who don’t think before they speak, who try every door just to see if it’s unlocked – and then the next door behind it.”Thank you, Daniel Kibblesmith, you get it. And you get why I will always think that Loki rules and Thor drools (I mean, sure, I’d love to feed Tom Hiddleston scones and tea and make a mess with the clotted cre...
4/5I was torn between giving this 5 stars or 3 stars. Five stars because this version of Loki, King of Jotunheim and praised for his sacrifice at the end of the War of Realms, is bored out of his mind and looking for fun. And fun is what the story delivers. Loki pays a visit to Iron Man, pulls one over on Nightmare, and fulfills his calling as God of Mischief.Unfortunately, this is only a one-shot and just sorta ends without getting a chance to really go anywhere. And I found the ending especial...
In the wake of War of the Realms, Loki is the new King of the Frost Giants. But that's not enough. He also wants to be...an Avenger? Yeah, sure, let's go with that.Loki solo books have so much potential to go wrong. He's such a complex character, and trying to get the correct balance of good/evil/whatever is so difficult. And yet Marvel always seem to throw the right creators at him. After Journey Into Mystery and Loki: Agent Of Asgard, I never expected to read another Loki solo series half as g...
no bc why was that so good
Low-key Loki, reborn and back at it, is now king of the Jotuns, an interesting prospect, and for me the most successful part of this entire volume, especially the interactions between Loki and Drrf, smallest of the frost giants who as an outcast himself wins the attention and sympathies of Loki, someone who knows what it’s like to be born to lose.Strangely, though, the author chooses to downplay the events in Jotunheim, in favor of other flashier and far dumber plot lines, like the one with Nigh...
I liked it, but it's nowhere near the level of what Kieran Gillen was doing with this character. Artwork is consistently superior throughout.
Wow, it's another author with a great interpretation of Loki!True to the character, nicely integrating his past appearances by a variety of authors. Oh hey, a great new focus on being a hero, with fun guest appearances from other Marvel Heroes.Woah! There's some interesting timey-wimeyness. Is Loki really rewriting his own backstory!?This is amazing, Loki has just gone from strength to strength since the Gillen run.Oh, it's cancelled already after just five issues. Thanks, Marvel.

I was a big fan of Loki: Agent of Asgard, so I’m so pleased that this series is following in that series’ footsteps! Loki’s character is captured perfectly here, and it was truly a fun ride. I can’t wait to see where this series goes! 5/5 starsEDIT — Just heard this got cancelled. :/ Ugh!! All the good comics do nowadays. A shame!
if loki so bad why so sexi
Honestly, the perfect companion to Loki the Disney+ series. Both feature Loki in some time-travel destiny hijinks with a possible love interest you may or may not be able to trust. Recommended!
Another good book killed off before it had a chance to find an audience.I sometimes wonder if the Marvel/Disney powers-that-be have a bunch of tiny gravestones in their back gardens of all the children they had who they murdered because they hadn’t won a Nobel Prize by the age of three.Sorry for the dark imagery, but it’s exactly how these premature book cancellations make me feel.
Oh Loki...This graphic novel was a lot of fun. Loki went through many transformation as he always does ultimately becoming the God of Stories - not a name he's normally known of. But one thing remains true, Loki wants to be a hero he just goes about it the wrong way. We get some familiar characters here - Thor, Iron Man, Wolverine - and then there were some who were completely new to me, but since I'm new to the comic scene, they might not be new to others. I loved watching Loki as he tried to b...
This felt kind of scattered, but there were individual moments that were really fun. I liked seeing Loki trying to be "good." Plus he spends almost the whole book wearing this t-shirt:[3.5 stars]
This one was pretty good. It's a shame Kibblesmith didn't get much time to tell the full story it seemed like he wanted to. I haven't read much from Kibblesmith, but what I have has been mostly on these more niche Marvel books and they're generally pretty fresh and original. Loki: The God Who Fell to Earth is shaky in parts, but it's definitely something that felt new and self-aware. I would have like to have read more, but this one volume we did get was pretty successful on its own.
I have always been an unabashed lover of chaos...Loki shirks the responsibility of a frozen throne and instead heads to Earth to try his hand at being a hero. Existential crises and havoc inevitably ensues in an albeit, very aesthetic fashion. Overall, this had a fun plot, great art, and a copious amount of costume changes by my favorite Marvel character.
Oh look, yet another great comic that Marvel decided to cancel seemingly before even the first issue hit the shelves. It hurts even more that the entire thing is a meta-commentary on how the odds were always stacked against Loki and his comics over the years. Loki is a phenomenal character, but rarely do we get a talented enough writer to handle him properly. Kieron Gillen did it, Al Ewing too, and now Daniel Kibblesmith joins the pantheon of writers who really get him. Loki fans, this one is fo...
At some point prior to the start of this volume, Loki was eaten by his father, King Laufey, and helped save Midgard by bursting from his father's stomach and becoming the new king of the Frost Giants.There are lots of things going on in this short volume. The responsibilities of a king don't rest well on Loki's shoulders, so he avoids the job as much as possible. Still, someone's got to do it, and that someone is Frösti the snowman. Meanwhile, some being that I think might be called Nightmare is...
