Immortal Thor writer Al Ewing recently reflected on Loki’s role in the story.In an interview with Marvel, Ewing, who penned Loki: Agent of Asgard in 2014, discussed his return to Loki in Immortal Thor. The writer insisted that the God of Mischief is an essential part of the Thor mythos, “I feel like Loki is an important supporting character/antagonist in Thor comics; you can’t really do without them,” he said. As long as Thor shines as the main character, Ewing believes Loki will always have a vital secondary role as they do in the current series, “That’s the case (in Immortal Thor). Thor’s the star, but Loki has a vital role as a kind of sidekick who’s also a recurring problem, and to do that we had to make a couple of tweaks,” the writer said.Ewing explained how he approached Loki’s characterization in Immortal Thor, stating, “Basically, we had to finally answer the question of “Is Loki friend or foe?” and the answer is ‘Yes.’ Rather than treat ‘When will Loki betray everyone?’ as a scary question looming in the background or as something that won’t come up—which can only end in slightly disappointing ways, as either Loki turns Full Evil and loses or his growth or they were, once again, Nice All Along (Or are they?)—we treat it as just part of the mythological condition.”
