Loki's past catches up with him in a new miniseries

- 

AHEAD OF THE second season of his television show, Loki is returning in a new miniseries. Writer Dan Watters has described Thor's half-sibling as "one of the most interesting characters, not only in comics, but also mythology", and the four-parter explores their ambiguous nature as both the God of Stories and the God of Lies.

"I love tricksters, deceivers, uprooters and devils, and Loki has a little bit of all that in them," says Watters, who is paired with artist Germán Peralta. "The fact that we never quite know what Loki is thinking, and that they have this tangle of deep murky history and myth to pull on in any situation, is a gift for a storyteller. Loki can be puppetmaster or puppet in any given situation, and even they're not certain which of the two they're currently managing to pull off."
