The Wicked + The Divine Volume 1: The Faust Act

by Kieron Gillen

“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

I put in a hold on this so long ago I'd completely forgotten about it by the time it was available. I love the art and the ending. I'll be continuing for sure.
