  SYLVIE! Alright so this was a big improvement from issue #1. Nothing huge happens in terms of action, comic is mostly dialogue but feels like it is getting back to its Loki roots. Was a faster read than the previous ish but that might be because it was more to the point. Highlight of the comic is Sylvie shows up so I'm happy about that and clearly a good build up to a Loki reveal hopefully but it will most likely happen by ish #5. Nonetheless my only criticism is that the characters going to hell or specifically Hellstroms city where people can right wrongs,was like no big deal. Then when Sylvie shows up she applauds spider-gwen and Gambit for their gusto walking into hell. Like what? Why do I have issue with this little comment? Well this is Sylvie, who lived her entire life hiding from the TVA by living in moments in time where apocalypse would begin to avoid detection. So she never lived in a stable world until Loki controlled the multiverse. Most importantly she was one of the main forces through sheer vengeance to find and kill Kang being the one responsible for the collapse of the almost invincible tyrannical TVA and also the multi verse going awry in the first place. So a couple of characters walking in the safest version of hell is peanuts when compared to what Sylvie went through. That's bad writing and I have to call that out. Please next ish do not diminish Sylvie to raise up the lesser characters, she needs to stand out more, including the original cast like Mobius, B-15 and OB. They are integral and honestly spider-gwen and Gambit should be side characters to the Loki' cast journey. Still this comic I would only recommend to fans of the Loki show, it is a hard sell to a broader general audience of readers. more

  Watch a team of redundant superhero copies walk from point A to point B. Oh, and they talk a lot, but there's no suspense or momentum. The art is good though.

  Yeah they're not going out of their way to make this bearable for people who didn't watch the show. I liked this issue better than #1 but yeah I agree no suspense or proper build up. The main characters Gwen and Gambit just feel like their only purpose is to push the story forward. My fix would be to focus less on them and more on the original Loki cast of characters to add to their lore. Having all these others like Gwen, Gambit, Wolveine, and others only convoluted the lore.

  Such a missed opportunity to have fans really invest more into their favorite characters from the show and I don't like how it diminished Sylvie to raise the lamer characters in this. She's been through a lot in the show and applauds these guys for doing what, walking in a library? Ridiculous

  I tried watching Loki, but wasn't interested any longer after watching the first episode. So I really had no preconceptions about this comic at all. I didn't even know who this Sylvie was, other than vaguely remembering some hype about a female Loki. Issue 2 affirmed what I thought after issue 1. Writing for tv and comics is very different.

  Yeah it sounds agenda driven I thought so as well before watching the show. She's actually a good character and isn't there to diminish the og Loki. She complements him pretty well and they even fall for eachother. But by season 2 they screw that all up, after teasing us with a nice romance they take that away for no justifiable reason. Season 2 for sure is where they fuck up the story to push "the message" with the only redeemable episodes in that season being the last 2 episodes.

  Season 1 is worth watching but yeah it is a grind in the beginning but it picks up by episode 2 and the episode "Glorious Purpose" is really some of the best you can get from that show I loved it so much.

  Yeah, it's probably not for me. I'd expect more Asgardian stuff from a show starring Loki, not this Doctor Who multiverse crap. Then again, they had ruined Thor and Asgard already, because they can't take any of it seriously. It's all comedy to them.
