With the nine realms aflame and Asgardia besieged on all sides, a desperate Loki journeys into the heart of Surtur’s fiery kingdom to...parlay?
This series has always benefited from terrific scripts, but it also has had a run of artists that were perfectly suited for what Gillen's imagination brought to the series. Much like last issue's interiors, Carmine di Giandomenico just kills it. That turn from the lighter to the darker moments is so well illustrated. We can literally see Loki go from scared, to sorry, to plain evil, and back to his more usual look in a matter of panels. Angles, lighting, shading, everything works so well in that scene that it's truly memorable and impressive all at the same time. Read Full Review
Now that fans needn't worry about the Loki/Leah relationship being trampled, they can resume enjoying what is a very dramatic and worthy finish to Gillen's run. Read Full Review
Way too much reliance on past issues' minutiae, and way too much text in an already hard-to-read Asgardian font by letterer Clayton Cowles. Read Full Review
The stakes have never been higher (literally: all nine Realms are at stake) and Loki is still up to his same old tricks. Leah is somehow back, but on Surtur’s side. Everything Burns is definitely worth the wait
