WELCOME TO HIS NIGHTMARE!
The nefarious NIGHTMARE has come to Earth, and only Loki, "The God of Nothing," can stop him from trapping all of New York City into the Nightmare Dimension! But first, he'll need to strike a bargain with a new and powerful force that will change the Marvel Universe forever. Who or what will Loki become when he steps foot into the mysterious HOUSE OF IDEAS?
Rated T+
Loki is one of those titles that is a delightful read each issue partly because the character is just one that is fun to read, but Daniel Kibblesmith not only knocks it out of the park with how he writes Loki, but the surprising twist at the end of the issue is one that you might guess, but it's presented in such a way that it still manages to be, well, a surprise.

Overall Kibblesmith continues to have a handle on just what makes Loki, Loki and why that's both a good and bad thing. Read Full Review
Rather than working on a small canvas or a large canvas for his narrative walk with Loki, Kibblesmith is manifesting a story on several different interconnected canvasses. That range from the ridiculously cosmic to the intimately personal. Its going to be a difficult dynamic to maintain in future issues. Theres a lot of traffic to coordinate between different story elements. That are going to need to come together at some point. Kibblesmith has shown a great deal of talent so far. Itll be interesting to see where he takes the series next. Read Full Review
A delicious story that's as imaginative as it is bold. Loki has always been the clever type and this story meets the lofty cleverness of the god of tricks. Read Full Review
The conclusion alone is surely enough of a reason to get fans coming back for later issues. It'll be interesting to see how Loki handles this situation, or his end of the bargain, for that matter. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts: If you've ever read DC's Sandman, these sorts of heady topics are nothing new, but they are interestingly presented here and Loki's own cunning and trickery are used against him in a very clever way. What's a man/woman who gets everything they want to do? The intentionally ambiguous ending leaves on a genuine cliffhanger. It's an interesting take on the philosophy and contextual place of heroes in society. I'm really looking forward to the next issue! Read Full Review
Loki is absolutely the book I look forward to most each month. The art is kinetic and colorful. The book has a rollicking sense of adventure, lots of great humor, and each week feels like it's moving a larger, mysterious narrative along. I LOVE this comic.
Really loved this one.
That was a really fun read. This series is off to a good start. Really interesting idea.
I got a lot of good laughs out of Loki 3, although Kibblesmith tries a little to hard with the humor at times. I wasn’t a big fan of the House of Ideas concept in Avengers: No Road Home, but I found it actually pretty fun in this issue. Nightmare is again an awesome villain, and I that short little intermission with Frosti. The last page is certainly shocking, as Nightmare tells Loki he never left Laufey’s gut.
It's odd that after he was so insistent about there being a price for what the Children of Eternity were offering him, Loki signed up without actually learning what it was.
This is pretty interesting.
