This is the story of Loki.

Of the young Loki, who hoped – by completing series of missions for the all-mother – to escape his old story. Who hoped to change. Who wielded the sword of truth, Gram, and made a friend in Verity Willis, a human with the abikity to see through any lie.

And of the second Loki – The Old Loki, Loki’s future self, able to walk freely in time, returned to the present to ensure his future came to be. A golden future of peace and plenty for all…

…All but Midgard, as the ruler of the european nation of Latveria, Doctor Doom, would discover after traveling to the end of time on business of his own and seeing the Hell Old Loki had made of the far-future Earth firathand.

Upon returning to the present, Doom, aided by his goddaughter, the three-year-old supergenius Valeria Richards, attempted to present this nightmare future by teleporting the present-day Loki to Doom’s castle, defeating him in a magical duel, and finally trapping him in a bubble of frozentime which even the trickster god could not possibly escape, Loki’s one hope was an unseen verity, accidentally brought to Latveria with him and armed with Loki’s amulet of invibility.

Meanwhile, the people of Latveria were turning on each other, as old grievances boiled over into hatred for seemingly no reason. a looming threat that, for once, could not be traced back to…

…the Agent of Asgard.

ANGELA created by Todd McFarlane & Neil Gaiman

Angelaは登場しないが、右のコマのなかでOdinがFreyjaにAngelaのことを話すシーンがある。

「シージ」の戦いで散った欺瞞の神Lokiは、死の女神Helaとの取引で無垢なる少年に生まれ変わった。数多の冒険を経て青年へと成長したLokiは、かつての罪を帳消しにしようと、母なる女神達オールマザーズ Freyjaの下僕となって、任務達成のために世界を駆け巡る。

“Original Sin”にてThe Watcher Uatuの眼によって明かした秘密のおかげで、Thorは自分に妹がいることを知り、その後、第10の領域(The 10th Realm)であるHeven(ヘヴン)への道を再び開いた。この経緯の中でこの”Loki:Agent of Asgard #7″を経て、”ANGELA ASGARD’S ASSASSIN”へと話が繋がることになります。そのため、Angelaは登場していませんが、転機となるコミックスとしてここで紹介します。
