Review of the Book
I can some up this book in one sentence. How could this book be any better!? I have been looking forward to Loki: Agent of Asgard since it's announcement and I am so glad that I can say, Al Ewing does NOT disappoint! The writing in this issue was absolutely phenomenal! It was hilarious, action packed and still had moments that really made you connect with Loki and warm your heart. From beginning to end I was cracking up with this book. I loved the interactions between Loki and the Avengers, I loved the beginning scene when he is singing in the shower complaining about Midgards music and in my opinion the best part of this book was the narration from Loki and his thoughts. I love that Ewing is bringing Loki down to earth and having him feel like an actual human being who regrets some of his actions in the past (even though he is a god). The art in this book is very typical Marvel-esque in being that it's kind of hard to complain about it. It definitely complemented the writing very well and gave the book a good feel. This is a book to read when you want to laugh, and need something to pick you up and make you feel happy. The ending of issue #1 has been thinking and has me waiting anxiously to see what plays out in the rest of the series. I re-read the book a second time before writing this review so that I could find something that I didn't like about it, and it's a rare occasion but believe it or not, there honestly isn't anything I didn't like about this book. It gave me everything I want out of a comic book. Humor, action, and a gripping story that leaves me wanting more. I cannot wait to see how Ewing follows up this great start to the title and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Loki, especially with the twist at the end!
