Garbett’s art is gorgeous, with each panel popping with life and motion. There’s an Ocean’s Eleven vibe to the graphic novel that meshes with the mysticism of Asgard. A great example is when he’s working with Lorelei on a heist in Monte Carlo and deceives her into thinking he’s a woman. He might be trying to make up for his sins, but the trickster god continues to manipulate people around him. Feeling betrayed, young Loki quits.Įwing does a good job of showing the different sides of Loki. The All-Mother wanted to preserve the future of Asgard and having the older Loki around to play the villain would ensure Thor ultimately became king. With the help of Thor, Sigurd, Lorelei and Verity, Loki enters the vault and discovers that an older version of himself has been working with Freya. Loki plans on breaking into an Asgardian vault because he suspects the All-Mother is keeping something from him. He and Loki battle until the trickster god recruits him into his scheme. Before she can give an answer, Sigurd, the original wielder of Gram breaks in to find his sword. Loki eventually invites Verity over to his apartment and he proposes that she help him in a heist.
A spark ignites between them, as much as Loki denies when he catches up with Lorelei. Verity is sarcastic and blunt and it plays well off Loki’s casual charm. It makes for an interesting conversation between a god who specialises in lying and someone who sees the truth in everything. He meets a human named Verity Willis who can sense any lie. Next, Loki attends a speed dating event to track down the Asgardian enchantress Lorelei. Loki and Thor have a heart to heart and the God of Thunder thanks his brother for the aid. Gram, a sword of truth, helped to dispel the curse. The Avengers attack him, but it’s revealed that Loki is acting on orders from Freya and Thor has been possessed by a dark curse that’s slowly corrupting him. The story begins with Loki infiltrating Avengers Tower and stabbing Thor through the back with a magical sword called Gram. But that doesn’t mean Loki can’t play a trick or two.
A younger, reformed Loki is carrying out heroic quests for Freya in exchange for his past being wiped clean. The theme of redemption is explored in Loki: Agent Of Asgard: Trust Me, written by Al Ewing and drawn by Lee Garbett. He’s caused so much destruction that you wonder if he can ever be forgiven.
As a trickster god, you can never be quite sure of his motives and it’s produced some entertaining stories. For years, Loki has been an enemy of the Avengers, Thor and anyone who gets in his way.
