Bottom Line: As he nears the finish line, Aaron is getting his characters' affairs in order and it makes for great reading alongside The War of The Realms. Well worth the coin. Read Full Review

Mike Del Mundo's art is amazing, but the scene on the cover would have made a more interesting story for him to illustrate. Read Full Review

I was taken by surprise to get an entire issue explaining that we still don't know if Loki is dead, and to not see Thor in any way in his own book. Read Full Review

Jason Aaron fills in some blanks I didnt know were empty and as a Loki fan, I didnt mind reading this issue. Your mileage may vary depending on why you pick this up, but as a War of the Realms tie-in, it didnt feel essential. Read Full Review

I wasn't expecting an issue staring Loki but I'm glad it did. The poor guy is suffering a fate worse than death and we the readers get to revisit some of the different iterations of Loki from the past few years, plus a brief look at Malekith's childhood, which is interesting. I think this is the strongest WotR tie-in thus far, maybe better than the main event itself. I'd highly recommend picking this up even if you don't regularly read Thor.

This is how a dream is written. Fantastic! One issue, explaining the background of the story, still giving you mesmerizing effects, adding to the story, wrapping up loose ends, and still leaving cliffhangers. It doesn’t need to be 6 ISSUES!!!!!!

Excellent job Aaron. I’m also digging War of the Realms so far! Check it out.

Loki gets the Ebenezer Scrooge treatment. I kind of hate that Aaron made Loki say the word "Bougie" (twice), but other than that, this was a cool introspective issue for Loki that looked at his motivations and his propensity for lying not just to others, but himself as well.

Loki is far and wide my favorite comic character after Spider Man so of course I loved this issue. Del Mundo’s art Is a pleasant surprise this issue, yet he still nowhere near the quality of Russell Dauterman, Esad Ribic, or Oliver Coipel.

This issue was a fun spotlight on Loki. I'm interested to see how this is all going to tie together.

Man Loki doesn’t deserve any of this, he’s been a good person all his life.

In his dying moments, Loki visits with three other Loki-incarnations, all intimately familiar from recent skips up and down the Thor timeline. It's a thoughtful meditation on being honest with yourself and it has a nasty edge, but this title is clearly on "pause" while the real action happens in WotR.
