Some thoughts about Loki: Agent of Asgard #17

Behold the Loki's last story.

After being captured by the Gods of Gods, both Loki and Lorelei will need to find a way to escape but even if they manage to do it, there's a final challenge that they're forced to face, King Loki.

Everything has brought us to this moment, the final chapter of Al Ewing and Lee Garbett's direction so as a conclusion, how does it fares?

Quite appropriately as you would imagine.

The writer continues the usual dose of style and wit that has been present since the first issue that is particularly noticeable once that Loki faces the Gods of the Gods and beats them in a way that only the protagonist could do. It's a quite fitting resolution all things considered.

However, the best part comes almost at the end when Loki encounters King Loki and there's a surprising revelation about his older safe and is one that plays with a lot of the themes that Ewing has been using during the course of this run, about how no matter what, people will always want the old Loki. Fortunately, the door is still open for new stories.

Lee Garbett once again delivers a wonderful job in storytelling thanks to his beautiful layouts and characters that make the story and style even better.

Excellent issue and it actually makes me want to re-read the whole run. Is that satisfying.
