Loki - New Comic Book Character Design


MCU Loki
Loki of Marvel fame has recently got  new redesign... by no one other than Jamie McKelvie, one of my favourite artists.

Most people will know Loki by his MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) version, but the Loki I like the most is - was - Kid Loki. After Loki died in the comics, his brother Thor brought him back to life... as a child. Loki strived to change everyone's opinion of him while he had a chance, but no one would ever believe he wasn't a monster. Eventually he managed to save the world, but at a price... his new found life as a hero.




Kid Loki

The old Loki took over his childlike body, and through schemes and plans, he assembled the Young Avengers, and used the superhero Wiccan's powers to restore him to an older, more powerful body.




New Loki
The designs for new Loki has taken obvious influence from the MCU Loki, probably using the familiarity MCU fans have of him to bring in new readers to the Young Avengers comic and to Loki's new comic in the future (which, of course, I'll be excited about. Unfortunately, Kieron Gillen wouldn't be writing Loki anymore, but I can still give it a try).

That's what you get, Loki
