There are still enormous gaps in my Marvel lore, and Loki: Agent of Asgard featured plenty of characters, references, and events I either didn’t recognize or didn’t understand. But by the end, I did feel I am at least up on my Loki lore, having seen him go through an entire character arc that ends in a satisfying place. 

While I wasn’t as invested in some of the side stories (the quest for the missing Angela, whatever Dr. Doom was concocting), I appreciated the central plotline with Loki’s quest for redemption, his tenuous position as the “Agent of Agsard,” and his growing relationship with Verity. There are resonances as well with the Loki show on Disney+ (which I thoroughly enjoyed)--two typecast characters struggling to break free of their “type.” 

It’s always fun to see a trickster wiggle his way out of things like “fate” and “destiny,” and the Loki of Agent of Asgard does it well and with aplomb.
