I see in this new loki a part of his frost origin and that makes me happy.

oh mannn, I was hoping it was just the way it was drawn in the panel. Well, I think it could still work and I do think it may just be because he is moving in it, but who knows until he draws more of him. He still looks pretty good, its just his face makes it seem odd in it. Also, dang he answers every question you ask him.
Anyways, I wonder if this Loki will still use a sword or not to fight, or was that only because he had gram at the time? Also, I do wonder if Loki was somehow partially responsible for starting secret wars or maybe sending King Loki into the battleworld right away? Because as soon as Loki disappeared, time flashed forward for King Loki and he mentions that he broke time. I haven't been paying attention to anything related to it so I could be way off on that assumption.

Sleipnir is lokis son in canon the bird calls him, mother of the gods.
Loki and Sleipnir

There's always the chance we'll get a teaser panel or something before the next issue and get a better idea of what New Loki looks like early. Since they aren't hiding the big reveal any longer, there won't be as much of a need not to show anything. I'm hoping at least. Sooooo much waiting otherwise.
I'm not sure about that. Loki's title for that relationship in mythology is "Mother to Horses". "Mother of Gods" in context could just be describing the immense creative power of storytelling.
My problem with some of the fans is not so much that they don't like it, everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone will like everything. It's the ones who are either excessively reactionary, or are upset because it goes against FANON. Some of them are upset because they created this idealized version of him which is MUCH more tame than what we actually had. And they are upset that it is incompatible with THAT, rather than what was actually appearing in the books. It is clear that this new Loki is wild, unpredictable, probably a bit unstable and weird, and probably lacking some of the more endearing 'nice guy' qualities he had developed in Agent of Asgard, and which had been exaggerated to be the whole of his persona by some fans. so it's completely incompatible with the nice guy poor victim persona he had in some fan's minds, except they are ignoring some of what was printed in order to get that. So I can understand the "accept it because it's canon" to an extent, because a chunk of fans are upset over losing something that never existed, or at least are omitting part of the picture.
Oh, speaking of omitting part of the picture. Anyone else super curious what's under the 'redacted' square? Is it a design element they decided to not use in the end, or is it a spoiler?
Yeah, he has kept some parts of himself, it's just that he had been spending so long trying to pretend those parts weren't him that he seems pretty different with him accepting them. I'm pretty sure that as the next few issues progress we will see more of the things he kept and he will start to feel a bit more familiar, even if some parts are different.
Well, keep in mind that Lee is only on the book for 4 more issues. He did create the design and will define it, but at this point it is more up to who follows him what it ends up looking like long term, particularly the face. We will have to see what Russel Dauterman does with him, as well as whoever else is handling Loki after Secret Wars. Dare I hope for Esad Ribic? He did good things with this new Loki int he one whole drawing he did of him.
The costume is wrong, we've already learned that he was just drawing whatever, Lee's costume may not have been designed, but the face.
That is something to ponder. It wasn't entirely clear before if King Loki and King Thor had experienced Secret Wars already or not, but now we see that King Thor is in Thors, and King Loki seemed surprised at the incursion, so it's looking like they HAVE NOT. so... did King Loki traveling back in time, or maybe Loki re-writing his role (?) do something to start a chain reaction?
While Gram is gone, Loki still has Lævateinn, so it would not surprise me to see him using that.
Oooohh, what I would give to have Ribic take over, I can hardly breathe. Dauterman is awesome too but if I had to choose, Ribic is my first choice.
Well, if Loki is going appear in Thorīs book sooner or later Russel Dauterman would be artist, honestly I donīt think that Agent of Asgard itīs gonna last much longer after Secret Wars, and if Loki remains with a solo series itīll be a relaunch with a different name, because "agent of asgard" doesnīt fit anymore.
I would love to see Esad Ribic drawing this new Loki (well...any Loki) he might didnīt know how the costume was going to be, but Iīm sure he knew about his current status quo, that would explain the point ears that makes him looks more wild and of course the broken horn and missing tooth
About King Loki surprises with the incursions...itīs weird because he notices that 8 months passed looking outside, but he said "thatīs new"? so I donīt know, but if he and King Thor didnīt experienced the Secret Wars, then Lokiīs role could be more important than we think.
One thing I like about this new version itīs that he looks secure like if he is enjoying what heīs doing, look at the last page of the last 4 issues and how miserable and lost he was.
mmmm by the way...whereīs the bracelet? something about the "redacted" square?
No, I just meant when Loki finally shows up in Thor. He's due to appear soon. (pretty sure this is the longest stint Thor has gone without Loki appearing. 25 issues of God of Thunder + 7 so far of Thor. coming up on 3 years of Loki-less Thor books unless you count the Tenth Realm. oh wait, i guess there was the annual... but that story was set in the past)
and yeah, pretty sure Agent of Asgard is done with issue 17. But I do think he is getting a new book, it's just that we don't have very much info yet on what that book may be like. It could be another solo, he could be joining a team (though his new version of him doesn't exactly scream 'team player' to me, but you never know) no idea.

Storyteller Loki seems like the sort of Loki that would ask for your turkey leg and take it before you had a chance to answer. Like, he has the naughty streak of classic Loki but without the malevolence.
