• Nobody else would have done it - because nobody else would have the nerve! Loki's crew comes together to crack the deepest dungeons of Asgardia itself!
• It's the ultimate caper - but is there one plot twist too many for even the God of Trickery to handle?
• This movie rated :( for tears before bedtime.
Note: This series, as well as Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder are going on hiatus for a few months now, and combining to tell one story in the meantime. As a result, check back soon for a review of Original Sin: Thor & Loki " The Tenth Realm, and then Loki: Agent of Asgard #6 when the series resumes. Read Full Review
"Loki: Agent of Asgard" #5 is, in sum, remarkably well done -- even more remarkably so given its editorial calendar. This never feels like an issue that's dropping its main plot to make way for a three-month event tie-in. It's measured, technically beautiful and makes phenomenal use of the material that's come before it. Read Full Review
The great metafictional tensions of the third act almost make up for the lame heist that dominates most the issue, and there's strong art throughout. Read Full Review
Is there anything bad about this book? Well if there is then I can't find it. The story is great, the art is great, the humor is right on point along with the characterization, and while the end of the book marks the end of this particular arc it sets things up beautifully for the next arc with several unresolved issues that make you want to come back for more. A special kudos by the way, to artist Jenny Frison for a most excellent cover reminiscent of the classic casino caper plot. The only reason I'm not giving this book 5 stars is because I don't believe in perfection, I'm a crusty, old, curmudgeon that way. So on that note, go buy this book! Read Full Review
