He's Loki's older, nastier, vastly more powerful future self. His machinations have cost Loki everything, but just who is King Loki? What kingdom would have him? What dread Asgard is he the Agent of? And what evil scheme has he been brewing all this time? This issue, King Loki tells all!
"and it was your precious midgardians who did all the heavy lifting . They burned and drowned half the planet in their endless drive to consume. Poor mother earth was already on life support. I just pulled the plug."
" But I have magic of my own, my liege. And mine isn't locked in some trinket daddy gave me! My magic was earned through centuries of tireless study in the darkest foulest arts - such as necromancy! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!"
Loki narrating his plan to escape his fate , mid cliffhanger with the dead avengers assembly btw, and giving him his classic "i knew exactly what I was doing all along" trait. And mephisto knowing eventually what he was up to
"Naturally I was the hero of the day" so much irony I love him.
It's interesting how our Loki was actually invested in doing good and now he's so concerned hearing king Loki saying it was a plan all along and our Loki was ignorant about it ?? Wondering where that will lead us ...
Loki and king Loki parallel
"The final crime , Loki. You are now redeemed in the eyes of Asgard. Congratulations boy.
LOKI ESCAPING THE COMIC PANEL , BREAKING ENTIRELY THE FOURTH WALL OH MU GOODNESS
Jarvis cameo 🥰
The villain securing the future . It shows how all elements are needed for balance. "Or even the grim certainty Ragnarok provided ."
"That was fun Barnes brings out the poet in me"
King Loki opening his palm offering stories in his hands (well he's still the god of stories)
" I would rule all tennof realms. I would have ... And you will."
""Why?" That's always the question isn't it? Why , oh why? Because it's not about that, you naive little idiot . It's never been about what we did . Never items about what we are "
Fandral Loki contenttttt
" Do ... Do not trouble yourself Loki. From what you say, you after without choice . We are what we are after all..."
"THAT'S WHY . BECAUSE I TRIED TO CHANGE -- AND I CHANGED . AND IT DIDN'T MATTER."
"And that's all we'll ever be ! A liar in a land of truth ! A deceiver in a world of honest men! Never trusted ! Never allowed in ! Never one of them! Yes! Oh irony! You don't believe the liar god? Then see it through my eyes! Feel my story burn in the heart! Two lokis died for this! We have our very self , twice over -- and for nothing ! For a tiny detour on an endless road ! Doesn't that hurt you little Loki? Doesn't that make you want to scream? And rage? And burn it all down? Keep burning ! And burning ! And burning! And when the hiring is done-- king Loki wins!"
So much worth quoting in this issue , it was truly amazing from beginning to end . The story unravelling before our eyes as the king Loki narrates everything and concepts such as marginalisation and identity are given light.

Is sad that all of this was caused because people couldn’t see that loki is more than just the God of Lies, I hope young Loki don’t take all the things that the Old one said and try to make his own future ignoring what can happen
I kinda expected this was the reason the old Loki would return. No matter what Loki, good or bad, he will always be remembered as the God of Lies, trickery and mischief!
