Asgardians: Loki: A Graphic Novel [Paperback]

Following the smash-hit Olympians series, George O'Connor embarks on a new graphic novel saga about the Norse gods. This third volume tells the story of Loki, the trickster god!

As night falls on Asgard there is one who does not dream. Loki, a trickster of epic proportions, has much to think on. He hearkens back to his challenge to the wolf Fenrir to break the strongest Dwarf-made chains. He remembers Thjazi, the jotunn in monstrous eagle form, and his pursuit of the apples of youth. And he worries he has fallen out of favor with his blood brother, Odin. Can he use his cunning and wiles to worm his way back in? Or, feeling spurned, will Loki choose to burn it all down?
