Loki is always him/herself. Not a perfect ending, but as good as could be possibly achieved given the need to tie in to the death of the multiverse (thanks, Hickman).

Okay, this CAN'T be the end!!! It's labelled as on-going but with no ideas when or if #18 will come out.

This series follows Loki who's had enough being bad and tries to be good by turning himself into a teenager again. It follows him as he molds from the God of Lies into something else, and manages to face down his inner and outer demons which includes a certain Loki of the future. I really enjoyed this series and I'm dying to see what this new, nice, yet still badass Loki does next.

The first volume got a lower rating because it was the introduction and you're kinda just floating around with Loki who's working hard on changing himself without really changing himself just what he does. It's interesting but ends right when it gets good, when he realizes he's being played by everyone, including his future self.

Volume two has more bite. Odin returns and we cover Original Sin and a few other interesting events, but see Loki face his darkest self, the part he's been pretending didn't exist. Doing so means admitting what he's done and leads to him being left behind by everyone in all the worlds and getting his butt banished.

This volume picks up with Loki having to choose: face himself or die. His choice comes from the advice of the one person who he thought had abandoned him decades before, and what he becomes: amazing. And then, The End. Wow. Loki's role is so huge, and what he does saves so many beings. IT HAS TO GO ON! IT MUST!

I wanted to like this better than I did. I appreciate what they tried to do, that is have Loki be himself and also not be evil. And to try over and over again. And also to have Asgard reflect what's going on in the rest of the Marvel Universe. Generally I find reading something Asgardian to be tedious, and this wasn't tedious. But it just didn't work. Maybe a re-read from the beginning would lead me to appreciate it better, but I doubt I have the patience.

Truth: I got a little lost at places in this. Once again, there were pages where every panel had a reference to some other comic. Add to that time travel, asides, and flashes back and forward... OY!

If you wanted a story complicated enough for Loki, you got it.

That said, the ending really pays off. Not to give anything away, but Loki, we find, is the sort of guy who re-writes reality in production with no backups. Metal.

This comic got three stars just from the splash pages of Odin and Freya, respectively, going into battle, and I adore this portrayal of Freya!!

My one wish would have been for more of a slow burn to the story arc, maybe a few less cuts to keep us focused. Though perhaps this would not have been a problem if I were reading the comics as they came out and had to wait between issues.
