En esta ocasión nos encontramos en otra repetitiva historia de AXIS donde los villanos se comportan como héroes y bla bla bla. Todo muy cansino y repetitivo, además de que si no tienes feeling con los personajes (como es mi caso), entonces verdaderamente te interesa poco sus conflictos interpersonales.

Creo que esto es un error de Al Ewing que se apegó demasiado al evento y no logró construir nada interesante alrededor de ello. Es una historia que simplemente sirve de relleno para la trama principal de AXIS y poco más, pero no resulta interesante por si misma y tampoco logra atrapar al lector.

Sí quiero dar una mención especial al trabajo gráfico de Lee Garbett es simplemente excelente. Pensé en ponerle tres estrellas por él, pero verdaderamente me aburrió el cómic y leerlo fue solo una formalidad para terminar con todos los Tie-Ins del evento.

Playful loki is back playing games with those circus people idek.
My prefered art style made a come back which I appreciate.
Him and amora lecturing the others about nobility OH MY GOD hilarious and I love their dynamic.
The unicorn bit was a bit lame but I liked it as a contrast to the usual loki persona.
Verity staying a friend who's concerned for him
And loved that ending with lorelei, so badass (reminded me a bit of Natasha too).

Ah yes, the reminder of why I find comics so frustrating- the need to read mutliple series to understand what's happening in the one I actually want to be reading. But you know what, at least this series' 'previously on' pages give a good summary and fill you in well.

Plus, Amora & Loki interactions FTW.

I don't know how I feel about this yet. I mean, there are some fun moments in this issue and I'm sure more interesting stuff is going to happen in the next issue but I'm not convinced on this version of Loki yet.

poor verity! Even i am confused as to what is happening in this issue. Perhaps reading what comes next will clear things up?

"I don't know, Loki. You've always been a little self-interested. But I wouldn't say that made you evil".

Just tossing some circus villains and a unicorn into the already insane mix.

This issue was absolutely fantastic! I mean, after I went and read AXIS #3 so I knew what the crumb was going on. Once I did that, I loved seeing Loki in all his sudden heroic glory and Thor cast in the role of villain. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Unfortunately, I have to. Because I'm floundering again. Apparently I've got to read the 9 issue run of Avengers & X-Men: AXIS to figure out exactly what's up with Loki. Arrrrrrrgggggghhhhh....

Loki makes being a good guy his new life's purpose but as always with the Trickster god there's probably a lot more to it, that is if future Loki has a say. Also, his attempt at being a good hero doesn't necessarily make for being the best friend. An amusing and snarky read.
