Wow! I didn’t expect to love this book SO MUCH!!! This comic is many things: it’s the exploration of Loki as a character, fighting to change or define who he is; it’s a story of redemption for a crime that cannot be redeemed; it’s an action packed story, fighting to prevent or cause the dire future that awaits; but above all it’s an ode, or maybe a love letter to storytelling itself.
This comic had a bit of everything! It made me laugh, and it almost made me cry; it made me angry, and reflective and it makes me want to be better. It’s got a heist, found family, gender bent Loki and Loki turning into a unicorn!
If you wanted to read more about Loki as a character, this comic is definitely for you! If you’re coming from the show (which apparently got inspiration from this comic) just know it’s a completely different story. Also know that there are some things that’ll be difficult to understand without context. I probably would’ve read Young Avengers (at the very least) before going into this comic. That being said, this IS considered a standalone arc, and there are enough context clues to understand what’s happening or happened in other comics.
Hope you enjoyed this as much as me! Happy readings!!!
