Mądry król Odyn władał od tysięcy lat. U jego boku stał Thor i piękna Lady Sif. Ci nordyccy władcy chronili Asgard przed wszelkimi zagrożeniami, w tym także przed podstępnymi zakusami przyrodniego brata Thora, Boga Kłamstw, Lokiego. Doprowadzony do szaleństwa, pałając z zazdrości i nienawiści, Loki snuł plany zniszczenia całego Asgardu. Jednak jego knowania wciąż spełzały na niczym. Przynajmniej tę wersję głoszą oficjalne legendy. A jeśli legendy zawierają jedynie część prawdy? Może Odyn i inni mieszkańcy magicznego grodu nie są tak szlachetni, za jakich uchodzą? Scenarzysta, Robert Rodi, ukazuje Asgard z niespodziewanej perspektywy samego Lokiego. Bóg Kłamstw, po niekończących się upokorzeniach i udrękach, w końcu osiągnął upragniony cel zdobył władzę nad całym Asgardem. Obaliwszy Odyna i uwięziwszy Thora oraz piękną Sif, Loki stał się w końcu władcą krainy Asów. Dzierżąc w swych rękach losy królestwa, Loki odkrywa prawdę o sobie i swym przeznaczeniu. Na stronach albumu Loki, przepięknie malowanego przez artystę Esada Ribica (Silver Surfer: Requiem, Thor Gromowładny), poznacie zaskakującą wersję klasycznych nordyckich mitów. Opowieść ta, przyjęta z entuzjazmem zarówno przez krytyków, jak i przez miłośników komiksu, z pewnością zadziwi i zaszokuje wszystkich fanów gromowładnego Thora.
