veliseraptor:

Loki, determined to tell his own story. (Or, a preview of that essay I keep talking about.) 

I could have used more panels for this, but I feel like these three are good ones to note (and some I happened to already have scanned) that this is a recurring theme in his appearances: his determination to escape fate, to slip free of the role he seems destined to play again and again. To be himself, only himself, and not what anyone else decides that must be. 

(Panels from Earth X, Siege: Loki, Loki: Agent of Asgard, and The Mighty Thor.)
