(And again, ethically, they’re probably right. For example, there are lots of readers want him back to ‘normal’, or who don’t want him forgiven. To what extent has he fought out of one box to find himself in a larger box?ĪE: Loki really is badly trapped at this point – as well as the story boxes we’ve put around him, the inviolate destiny, the lure of his own worse nature, et cetera, there are the boxes the readership puts on him. But how can he? And how can we, ethically, want him to? This is going to some dark places, I fear.ĪB: In our previous interview, you talked about Loki fighting to break out of that good/evil box. That repeated image really represents all his crimes and failings over his entire existence in one increasingly horrifying package, and that – maybe more than King Loki, his irredeemable future self – is the enemy Loki has to conquer. Which is why a hallucination of Kid Loki is now following him around bellowing arc words at him. AoA Loki – assuming we’re buying his ‘third iteration’ theory, which may or may not be correct – has committed one major crime of note, which was the total annihilation and body-theft of Kid Loki. He does missions for the All-Mother to expunge his past crimes, but how does he move forward building his own identity if he can’t forget those crimes himself?ĪE: That’s a big question! Maybe the biggest. You might have hit the nail on the head there.
Her and Loki might be getting that coveted best-friends-to-the-end slot with each other, assuming no awful revelations drive them into non-friend territory.ĪB: After five issues, it’s clear that this Loki is his own man, but he’s still weighed down by his past (and possibly his future). She’s sort of guested in three issues so far – I’m aiming to have her play a larger role in future issues, though. I’m really happy with how she’s gone over with the readership – a whole bunch of the fans seem to absolutely love her, which is great considering she’s not really been in much of the comic in real terms. Writer Al Ewing was kind enough to answer some questions about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going – as well as his process with artist Lee Garbett – in the lead-up to the new series.Īlison Baker: Let’s start with an easy one: can I please sign up to be Verity Willis’s best friend?Īl Ewing: That signing sheet is pretty full. This miniseries is a part of Marvel’s Original Sin line, and will expand the already complicated family tree of the Sons of Odin. With a full arc under its belt, Loki: Agent of Asgard is set to cross over into its first big event – Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm.
