Most people who have heard of Loki know that he is the Norse god of mischief. In the terms of the Marvel Universe they either know him from the comics or his on screen character, played masterfully by Tom Hiddleston. Either way, he’s always been cast as a villain. It seems, now, that his mischief has granted him a chance at redemption, a chance he is willing to take.

Loki has died. Shedding his old, villainous ways, he has been given a second chance to wipe his tarnished record clean. As the All-Mothers secret agent of Asgard, he has a new, younger body and is equipped with plenty of magical gadgets that will aid him in these tasks. For each “good” deed that he completes, a bad one will be stricken from the records of Asgard until the day comes where he may be free once again. But this is Loki we’re talking about. Surely he has something up his sleeve…right?!

This was a really good first issue. I, personally believe that Tom Hiddleston did such a fantastic job with the character that I hear his voice reciting the lines as i read them. I’m uncertain if writer Al Ewing had this in mind or not, either way it is written spot-on for the character. Lee Garbett (art) and Nolan Woodard (color) really have turned in some quality work for this new series that complements the story being told. I’m very interested to see the avenues taken in this series. The story continues in Loki: Agent of Asgard #2, due to hit shelves March 5th. This is a great jumping-on point for fans of Loki or someone wanting to get into something new. So get on over to your local comic shop and get your copy today!!
