Loki: Agent of Asgard #4

Two figures stand back-to-back on Jenny Frison's striking cover: a young woman in casual clothes raising a wooden sword over her shoulder, and Loki in his signature green scale armor and horned golden helmet, a gleaming blade in hand — both wearing expressions of cool, watchful intensity. Al Ewing and Lee Garbett's Loki: Agent of Asgard continues to deliver on its promise of a trickster god navigating a world where alliances are rarely what they seem, and this fourth issue — subtitled "Let's You & Him Fight!" — suggests the tension between these two is anything but simple. Nolan Woodard's warm, softly glowing palette gives the whole image a quietly charged atmosphere that makes you want to turn to page one immediately.
