“The Prince of Lies” gets his very own Marvel Omnibus collection this August and it will feature every Loki story from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s run on Thor, as well as other classic stories from the 1960s and 1970s. Aside from tormenting his big brother, the Omnibus also includes his inadvertent formation of The Avengers, a spell for spell battle with Doctor Stephen Strange, a Hulk kidnapping, and an encounter with the Silver Surfer.
