There were a whole lot of pieces from the previous two books pulled together for this one. There was some nice messaging deep in the story about changing ones self for the better and forgiving our past flawed selves, but that was buried pretty deep under tricks and fighting. I enjoyed the storyteller in the Norse tent 3000 years ago and how he looked like Loki. (view spoiler)[I did not enjoy that one of the tricks pulled to get a leg up in the fighting was guns, especially because it wasn't rele...
4.5 starsI'm not gonna lie, after the last volume, I was tad afraid that this was going to end on a depressing and/or shitty angst-filled note. And, honestly, I just didn't want that for this Loki. Know what I mean? This incarnation, starting with my first introduction to him in Young Avengers, has been written to perfection for the past few years. It's just my opinion, but I think a lot of comic fans would agree with me.This Loki is the quintessential Damaged But Snarky anti-hero that everyone...
First time reading a Loki-centric book. This basically leads into the Secret Wars. Strong start but got tiresome towards the end.https://youtu.be/ch20x7t8WFY
This final installment of this series is the best of the three. I really liked how it wrapped up. Still a bit confused though.
"It's alright."A lighthearted Loki run managed to tell a story about change, loving yourself, becoming better. It was fantastic. The reveal of old Loki was a poignant moment that really struck me. Al Ewing is quickly becoming one of my favourite Marvel writers with Empyre, New Avengers and this. Loki has always been a character defined by his past, the stories others told about him, even if they weren't true. As the God of Lies, he accepted that. But not this Loki. He retold his own story. The i...
Some silliness but all in all a decent series.
I found all the different versions of Loki kind of confusing, especially their motives. I much preferred Kid Loki who's trying to redeem himself and he keeps screwing up.
Well that was imaginative. Ewing takes us on more than just a greatest hits tour of Loki as Marvel wrapper up that boot of the 616, giving us a chance to really delve deep into the philosophy of lies, gods and schemes. I enjoyed this meta version of the Loki’s we’ve seen in the last decade - walking the line, learning how to be more than his/her destiny, actually relating as more than just the cleverest sonofabitch in the room.
I don't generally review books by Al, because my critical objectivity would be in serious doubt. This one is worth an exception to that rule. It's both a cracking tale of Asgard in the mighty Marvel manner - a love letter to Walt Simonson's Thor run in style and reference, Lee Garbett's art crackling with energy - and the writer's entry into that grand, decades old conversation between British comics writers about stories and what they mean. And under the metafictional flourishes (which are a de...
Volume 1 in this three-volume set starts off slow; Volume 2 really kind of stinks it up, but things get a little more interesting here in this third book, and although little will stick with me from these comics, there were some moments: Odin Borson and Loki meeting the giant otter, King Loki riding the Midgard Serpent, Freyja throwing open the doors of Valhalla. Bill son of Bill feasting at the heroes’ table? But best of all is when the focus shifts to the magic of stories, those told by the sk...
A delightful, intricate and incredibly meta conclusion to a wonderful series. Really, it could only have been improved had the fanservice quotient gone even higher with the sexual fluidity which Ewing initially talked about including, and which mutterings of late suggest editorial may have nixed. Still, the final issue in particular is a marvel, recalling Morrison, Moore and Gaiman in its fascination with the nature of stories - yet for all that, unmistakably Al.
Volume 2 might have gotten off track a little bit due to an unfortunate and mandatory tie-in, but volume 3 finishes strong! Once again I'm just so impressed both with Ewing's characterization of Loki and also his ability to weave together the Marvel universe, elements of actual Norse mythology, and commentary on the nature of stories. I am now going to be forever sad that this version of Loki belongs to Marvel instead of DC because this style of story would have fit in perfectly with several cla...
I'm so happy with the way this ended up. In this volume, Ewing brings a satisfyingly complicated conclusion to a story arc that goes way back to Siege, through all of Kieron Gillen's fantastic work on Journey into Mystery and Young Avengers. He brought the character of Loki around to what I think could be a very interesting place. There's a lot of stories that you can tell with this version of Loki. And there's a ton of meta stuff that Ewing handles really well. I don't think you can talk about
Great ending to a great series.
My status update after reading the penultimate chapter of this book was '#17's going to have to be a real corker to redeem this mess'. Guess what? It was!The final chapter of this collection was incredible. I really, really loved it and actually had a little tear in my eye at the ending. I honestly can't imagine a more perfect ending to this series.If I was rating this collection purely on the strength of the final chapter, it would get five stars, easily. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to
And all got what they deserved...
This is the last issue of Agent of Asgard series and damn it went out with a bang! This volume has everything its predecessors did and did not have: the action, the lore, motherf**king Ragnarok, the emotional discovery, the humor and friendship. I admit I got a bit teary at the end just seeing Loki and Verity. God, I looove great platonic friendships. It ends on a great note. I love the last panel and all it hints at.I just love everything in this comic and I’m so happy I discovered it.
I read this book via Kindle Unlimited. In this final volume, we find out that Loki didn't truly die when he ascended into the void, simply changed into being the God of Stories rather than the God of Lies. He's now back to challenge King Loki, and prevent the end of Asgard as King Loki and the forces of Hel go against the heroes of Valhalla and Asgard alike. I was worried this Loki would have to sacrifice himself, again, to finish the story of the Agent of Asgard, but instead we get to see him
Wow I thought I finished this series but I guess I didn't. My buddy reminded me of how good it was (and I did enjoy volume 1-2 a lot) so I dove right into it on Marvel Unlimited! The end of days are here. Secret Wars is starting and the old Loki has made his move. Capturing the Teenage Loki, and forcing him to make a choice. However, some choices aren't simple, and BAM we are thrown a brand new twist on it all. Which Loki will emerge? Why? And how will he stop the war between Asguardians and Lok...
Who has that gif of the guy crying and hugging his pillow but in like a Good fulfilled way. That’s how I feel
