Loki: Agent of Asgard #5

by Al Ewing, Jenny Frison (Cover Art), Lee Garbett (Artist)

Nobody else would have done it - because nobody else would have the nerve! Loki's crew comes together to crack the deepest dungeons of Asgardia itself! It's the ultimate caper - but is there one plot twist too many for even the God of Trickery to handle?

So here's the thing, I have two very strong reactions to this title and they are very contradictory. On one hand I'm completely enthralled by the idea of two Lokies (plural of Loki?) on the other hand I kind of hate everyone else. The supporting characters just kind of annoy me. At first I found Verity interesting but she is turning into just a convenient plot device. I have no interest in modern frat boy Thor who wears ironic t-shirts and probably drinks PBR, I want him dressed for battle drowning mead. Sigurd is kind of obnoxiously gross hey Lorelei want to go back to my place "I've got mirrored ceilings" ew.



I'm just not interested in the band of misfits routine.

However after Loki ditches the dead weight the story picked up and had me gasping and laughing maniacally.

"I am burning, you see. Forever and ever burning".


It's hard to say what will happen now. But one can be sure it will be interesting.

What's fantastic about Loki: Agent of Asgard is simply that it's fun and it never gets old. I love seeing Loki go through all these tasks, especially since he has all these new friends alongside him throughout the process. I love that it's light but at the same time has this clear message throughout and I know that something bigger is coming.

Each character is so fantastically different and has such a important role to play in Loki's life in every issue it makes me even more excited to see what's to come for Loki and friends!

Todo se empieza a complicar...

Everything about this cover was chef's kiss.
Loki's schemes and lorelei with him again chef's kiss. Especially that scene with verity helping them because she can see through any lie so traps included was so suspensful, loved it.
Loki's look in this one remains chef's kiss.
The sin-that-wont-be-forgiven kid loki remains disturbing (but as I said that's it's purpose i suppose) but Loki's interactions with his brother and his confrontation with his older self were pretty interesting.

Binge-reading Agent of Asgard during Eid holiday was an excellent choice

te amo loki

I really liked this issue. It gave answers to some of the questions I had with previous issues. I also liked the heist storyline and the face off between the two Loki’s.

What a brilliant way to bring the story that's been weaved throughout the first few issues to a close! I loved seeing the scheming that Loki had been doing to free Sigurd actually play out and to see the callbacks to previous issues and realize Loki had been laying the groundwork the mission this whole time? It was a wild, enjoyable read, even if Loki didn't quite get the happy ending with the redemption he wanted.

Brilliant way to end this first section of AoA arc.
Teenage Loki causing a breakout and yet he learns a little bit about himself and the All-Mother in the process.
There is no way to review this without spoilers, so I will just say that if you are a fan of Loki, you need to read this, because I get the feeling the Original Sin arc featuring Loki and Thor will be referencing to the 5 issues of AoA and certain things might seem confusing without a general idea of what is happening.

I was hoping for more of an Ocean's Eleven vibe than we got, but what was there was fun. I'm unsure how the rest of the run will hold up now that it's turning towards a new branch in the plotline and also involves crossover into a larger event. Old Loki sure is a terrifying villain!

[Nayeomi · Rating 5 out of 5]

this series is sooo good!
Plus it ties up to Marvel's other related novels like Thor's and The Avenger's ....


Had fun reading it. :)

Love, love, love, love, love.

Things took a turn for a darker, and now it comes down to the repeated moral debate about Loki and fate; can he change who he is, who he will be? Is he always going to be the villain because the hero needs one? It's some really complex and sad things to think about, how Loki keeps going on in this cycle of redemption and damnation.
