for fast, sharp dialogue and McKelvie and Wilson's razor-lined, intensely
colored visuals keep things popping up to the cliffhanger ending." - Booklist

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.

Divine #1-5.
The art in The Wicked + The Divine is stunning. The use of colour, the aesthetic, the panelling... This comic looks pretty damn amazing. Combined with an intriguing story and interesting characters, this makes for one awesome read. I read this digitally, but can't wait to get a paper copy of it as well. I would love to reread the story and get to know the gods closer. And I'm very curious to see where the story leads in the next volume!
