Loki: Agent of Asgard #17

Liz says: The final issue of Loki: Agent of Asgard came out not this week but last week, you say? No it didn’t, surely not. Would I lie to you? No way.

Or maybe the truth isn’t as important as the story you’re being told, as long as it’s a good story. The character of Loki (God of Mischief, Prince of Lies) has always been defined by his ability to outwit, outfox and outright lie his way out of danger and into power, under the noses of his most faithful comrades and his greatest enemies alike.

Al Ewing and Lee Garbett’s brilliant last statement on Loki, in the final issue of Loki: Agent of Asgard, speaks to the strength of storytelling as greater than magic, sounder than brawn, more powerful even than truth. Did the Gods create Man, or did a man telling stories create the Gods? The major themes that ran throughout this series are all addressed; themes of change, truth, and trust. Ewing does it beautifully and caps off his short but superb run with something as clever and extraordinary as any Loki fan could hope for – trust me.
