Dan Kibblesmith was making his mark on the comic market with a lighthearted story about a tragic and powerful god. That doesn't take away the disappointment that comes from a series ending too early. This wasn't the first series given to Thor's trickster brother and it likely won't be the last. Marvel Comics has always been quick and merciless with their cancellations and the end of this Loki series is no exception.Īs they say, the god of mischief doesn't close a door without magically opening a window. Not just on his recent travels or newly gained positions of power, but to essentially reflect on the end of yet another story. Rather than the issue evolving into a glorious tale of time travel wizardry, it quickly returns to the modern day to give Loki some much-needed time to reflect. Sadly, stories don't always have the happiest of endings. The setting and story are worth much more exploration, but the scene ends abruptly, just like the comic itself.

It would be no easy task were these not the God of Mischief and a self-healing animal with unbreakable claws. While in walks one of the baddest cowboys there ever was-the Wolverine! It's great to the powerful mutant making a cameo even as Wolverine has his own exciting and surprising debut coming up. Together, the two start to take on every drunken patron in the bar. The scene is simple: Loki playing poker at a regular Western saloon. A time-traveling romp with Loki in the wildest of Wests, with a cameo from almost everyone's favorite X-man: Wolverine! The hilarious but brief bloodbath that ensues is worthy of more than just a 5-issue series. With that the latest Loki series began its final and yet most entertaining issue yet. And now the way is open for the God of Stories to explore further than he has ever before - even across time itself. Check it out:īut as any god of Asgard knows, death is only one beginning. While the announcement was technically made at the beginning of the comic, they left fans an exciting teaser for something new. The Thor and Loki of Kibblesmith's pages have as much chemistry as their on-screen counterparts, and it's a shame to see them go.

Over the last few years, Marvel have tweaked the would-be villain to better suit his rise in popularity. It was a lighthearted take on the many happenings across Jotunheim, Asgard and beyond. His latest series was written by Dan Kibblesmith with the final issue's art provided by Andy MacDonald. While Tom Hiddleston heads an exciting new frontier on Disney+, it's been quite some time since he had as much success in the comics. Magic may be Loki's forte, but it doesn't seem to be helping him much lately.
