You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 17, 2019So Lokis cool, The creative team is cool., The team is VERY COOL. No creative team lasts forever, though. Its hard to imagine Loki working quite this well with anyone else. But in the opening installment, Kibblesmith and Bazaldua give this series the kind of appeal that makes it FEEL like anyone could pick up the title and instantly make it their own. Lokis just that adaptable. But with any luck, Kibblesmith and Bazaldua will be around for a long, long time. This is a fun opener. Read Full Review

Kabooooom - Matt Morrison
Jul 17, 2019While Loki #1 won't be everyone's glass of wine, it's a solid start for those who enjoy a spirited story of trickery unbound. Those who only know Loki from the Marvel movies would do well to pick this one up and learn the truth behind the God of Mischief. And the lies too, of course. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Cat Wyatt
Jul 17, 2019Loki #1 was a strong start to this new series. It's already looking to be as exciting and chaotic as I had been hoping " which is saying something. I loved the inclusion of the War of the Realms plot, plus all of the cameos that went with it. Including the littler one. It was a nice touch. Read Full Review

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Jul 18, 2019Loki #1 is a book worth having in your pull-list. In general, it is worth having a book on your pull-list from Marvel that you can have fun with. This is the same old Loki, but once more the experience is refreshing when he has to fight against his own nature to be the best version of himself. Read Full Review

Jul 17, 2019Its a new status quo for most of our notable Asgardians, and while weve seen Loki at times be considered an anti-hero, giving him serious responsibilities and a newfound sense of purpose is a new twist in his long story. Whether he will take it as seriously as his brother remains to be seen, and while Ive never been a Thor guy this is an intriguing start and Ill definitely stick around to see where it leads. The cartoony art matches well with the slightly comical tone of the story without ever going into farce or being too silly. Its a solid start for the new Loki. Read Full Review

The Beat - Joe Grunenwald
Jul 17, 2019Loki #1 is a decent start for the new series. A somewhat overwritten script is bolstered by the strength of the issue's art. The dialogue and plotting in the issue is entertaining, and there's clearly some really fun potential in the premise of the series. I'm hopeful that future issues will rely less on narration " or at least tweak the narration to be less 'on the nose' " so that this title, and Loki himself, can reach their full potential.

A blast! I could very easily see Loki becoming my most anticipated book each month.

Honestly this issue blew away my expectations. Loki 1 was a laid back introduction to Loki's reign of Jottunheim and his partnership with Thor as they are both kings. The art was absolutely perfect for Kibblesmith's tone, and I could easily see this run being better than Agent of Asgard and Journey Into Mystery.

This issue did a sterling job of charming me with its Loki; this is a perfect continuation of Jason Aaron's bitter-edged rogue. The foreshadowing gets the job done but hasn't quite hooked me yet; that's completely forgivable when the protagonist is this appealing. The art pushes into that border zone between "good" and "great," but it's held back by some unclear layouts.

This is a fun start. Has whimsy and foreshadowing and fun even if the art is wonky at times. It almost washes out the bad taste Aaron's Thor left in my mouth. Almost. Unfortunately it has to start with presenting the (deeply messed up) angle Marvel marketing pushed for months, but that's not the fault of this book or creative team.

How Loki is written is certainly full of mischief and that's where most of the humor comes from. At the end of the book though, I find myself thinking, WTH was that last page about? I don't understand what just happened. And where is this book going? Cause it seems to set up the story like it should be titled "THE FUN SHENANIGANS OF LOKI!" Episode 1 - Meet Loki! Episode 2 - Loki loses his crown! 6/10. It's okay. And I do appreciate the art.
