The resolution of the battle is very, very witty, and actually manages to pull out some genuine wonder at the nature of the god of mischief in action. That strange uncertainty is particularly substantial in this issue. The recent series, penned by ClickHole Founding Editor Daniel Kibblesmith with art by Oscar Bazaldua colors by David Curiel and letters by Clayton Cowles, had a brief, five issue run. Oddly enough, the overall appearance of what might be a weird and strangely dreamlike narrative fugue is part of the series’ appeal thus far. With zero fanfare, Marvel has cancelled Loki a series announced just this April. Paperback Book (Book with soft cover and glued back) Loki: The God Who Fell To Earth by Daniel Kibblesmith. Kibblesmith clearly knows what he needs to do to get Loki from Point A to Point B, but he’s leaving things open just far enough to make it seem as though he might just be making the whole thing up as he goes long without any grand design.
