<-alert my husband, he'll never believe it!Īnyhoo, all three volumes are well worth a read. His schemes caused the Avengers to form, he’s been fighting against Thor for millennia, and he is all in all a wholly untrustworthy person.
I just kinda zoned out for most of it, because I'm not (and never have been) a fan of reading about the stuff happening in Asgard. A character who’s been known for decades as one of the big villains of the Marvel Universe. That's just a personal preference thing, and in no way am I saying that it was sucky storytelling. I have to admit that toward the middle of this one I got a little bogged down with all of the (just my opinion) boring Asgard stuff.
So, yes, I'm super happy with the way this wrapped up, especially considering the entire Marvel Universe sorta exploded there towards the end, which probably severely limited Ewing's story options. Yeah, all of that twisty-turny stuff was pretty freaking fantastic, and I can't say I saw much of any of it coming. I don't want to give spoilers, but Loki (quite literally) confronts his demons, and the solution he finds to his problem is pretty ingenious. Or at least, the Loki-version of a HEA.Īnyway, I'm happy to report that this one ended on a fantastic high. In other words, he's FUN! And even though deep down we wouldn't trust him with our car keys, we want him to get a Happily Ever After. This Loki is the quintessential Damaged But Snarky anti-hero that everyone wants to root for. It's just my opinion, but I think a lot of comic fans would agree with me. 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.
