Loki’s Devilish Deal — Bring On The Bad Guys: Loki #1 drops this July

Marvel’s newest villain‑centric one‑shot pits the God of Mischief against the Lord of Lies. In a cryptic bargain, Loki must locate a soul tied to Khonshu’s agency, all while navigating Mephisto’s hidden agenda. A fresh spin on classic antagonists, wrapped in striking art.

The debut of Bring On The Bad Guys: Loki #1 marks the latest entry in Marvel’s quartet of villain‑focused one‑shots. Rather than a hero‑driven adventure, this issue shines a spotlight on two of the universe’s most conniving figures, setting the stage for a clever clash of wits.

When Mephisto demands a favor, he sends Loki on a mission to retrieve a particular soul—one that belongs to an operative of Khonshu. The trick is that Loki receives no clear instructions, leaving him to improvise amid a centuries‑old rivalry of deception versus trickery. The stakes hinge on whether the trickster can outmaneuver the demon of falsehood while satisfying a contract he never fully understood.

The creative team brings a strong pedigree: writer Anthony Oliveira, who’s known for tight, dialogue‑driven storytelling, teams with artist Jethro Morales whose dynamic panels capture Loki’s flamboyant scheming. The cover, rendered by Lee Bermejo, adds a moody, painterly touch that signals the darker tone of the story. Together they deliver a fresh, visually striking take on familiar adversaries.

If the idea of a mischievous god tangled in a devil’s scheme intrigues you, the companion title Bring On The Bad Guys: Doom offers a similarly twisted perspective, focusing on another infamous adversary. Both issues complement each other, making them a compelling pair for anyone interested in Marvel’s villainous side of the cosmos.

Pick up Loki #1 on July 30th and see how the God of Mischief handles a job that comes with no manual. It’s a smart, stylish addition to any collection that appreciates clever villainy.
