“solid storytelling and clean, gorgeous
artwork will keep readers engrossed and eager for more.” - Publishers
Weekly (Starred)
"Gillen's penchant
for fast, sharp dialogue and McKelvie and Wilson's razor-lined, intensely
colored visuals keep things popping up to the cliffhanger ending." - Booklist
“the story is
beautifully drawn and populated with characters of color, diverse gender,
and sexual identities, and you have my full undivided attention.” -- Kirkus
Every ninety years, twelve
gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are
dead. The team behind critically thermonuclear floor-fillers Young
Avengers and Phonogram reunite to start a new, ongoing, superhero
fantasy with a beautiful, oversized issue. Welcome to The Wicked + The
Divine, where gods are the ultimate pop stars and pop stars are the ultimate
gods. But remember: just because you're immortal, doesn't mean you're going to
live forever.
Collects The Wicked + The
Divine #1-5.
I was very excited to read this comic, but as with Neil Gaiman's American Gods it wasn't what I've expected. Art is absolutely stunning, byt storyline isn't as good as I wish it'd be. So only 3 stars.
