As a seasoned comic book enthusiast and devoted fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I must say that the latest comic series from Marvel Comics, TVA, is an absolute delight! If you were as captivated by the timeline-twisting adventures of Loki in the TV show as I was, then this comic book is tailor-made for you.
Marvel boasts an impressive collection of top-notch shows, yet none surpass the time-traveling thrill of Loki. The narrative of this series concluded in season 2, featuring a moving self-sacrifice from Loki himself, but it seems unlikely that we’ll see a third season. However, Loki enthusiasts have something to celebrate as Marvel has integrated many of those elements into the comics with its TVA series. The reunion of the Time Variance Authority evokes a delightful sense of nostalgia while introducing fresh, exciting twists.
In the narrative of TVA #1, events unfold subsequent to Loki season 2’s conclusion. Consequently, Loki fulfilled his grand destiny, much like he did in the series. However, unlike other comic books that may be limited to elements already established within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this one has the freedom to incorporate a wide array of elements. As a result, it manages to enjoy the best of both worlds by featuring characters such as Ghost-Spider, Jimmy Hudson, Captain Britain (Peggy Carter), and others. This strategic move proves to be beneficial, as the introduction of these new characters adds a fresh twist to the storyline and prevents it from becoming a mere imitation of the show.
As a passionate cinephile, I found myself captivated by Katharyn Blair’s writing style that mirrors the original series’ charm, humor, and a touch of sassiness. This essence is particularly evident through Gwen Stacy’s character, who serves as our guide in this narrative, easing us into the complexities of Loki’s second season even for those less familiar with the plot. Her engaging and comical approach makes her one of my favorite elements in the issue. Gwen’s persona beautifully contrasts characters like B-15, O.B., Mobius, and even Miss Minutes, who steals the spotlight on her own merit.
A new member joins the group who might catch you off guard, and their arrival makes an instant difference, though I won’t reveal that secret now. As the team settles in (at least for this particular configuration), the pace quickens significantly, providing a clearer picture of where the story is headed from now on.
The creative team behind Pere Perez, Guru-eFX, and Joe Sabino are due recognition for capturing the vibrant personality and style of the show so effectively. Some characters appear as if they’ve leaped straight from the screen onto the comic pages, though Mobius might seem a tad off-balance at times. The action sequences are exhilarating, featuring inventive backdrops that showcase each character’s unique abilities and past experiences. These elements will undoubtedly strengthen as their collaboration progresses. By the way, if you haven’t fallen for Miss Minutes, Sir Seconds, and Doc Clock yet, I guarantee you will by the end of the issues, and I can’t wait to see more of them in future instalments.
If you’re already a fan of the series, everything here is fantastic. However, some elements of TVA might not be as captivating if you’re new to it. That’s why introducing Ghost-Spider, Captain Britain, and the new character will attract more viewers, but compared to them, the Loki crew might seem less engaging unless you’re already familiar with the show – except for O.B., because he’s delightful regardless of whether you’ve watched it or not.
As a movie enthusiast who’s got a soft spot for Loki, let me tell you this: if you’re all about that God of Mischief, this is your ultimate dream come true! It’s a perfect blend of everything you adored from the series and some mind-blowing comic elements that are exclusively available in the world of comics (for now).
