Loki

Al Ewing's Loki: Agent of Asgard and the surrounding material represent one of the most ambitious character studies Marvel has produced in recent decades. Taking the young Loki established by Kieron Gillen, Ewing asks a deceptively simple question: can a god of lies become someone different? The answer unfolds across some of the most formally inventive Marvel comics of its era. It includes the Secret Wars tie-in material that concludes Ewing's arc.

Loki Omnibus Vol. 1 goes back to Marvel's first great Asgardian wound: brother, rival, trickster and architect of chaos. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby shape him through myth, jealousy and spectacle, long before the modern antihero softened the edges. It is Loki at his sharpest, dangerous because he knows exactly where family can hurt.
