Collecting the first nine issues of the American Gods comic book series, along with art process features, high res scans of original art, layouts, character designs, and variant covers by BECKY CLOONAN, SKOTTIE YOUNG, FÁBIO MOON, DAVE MCKEAN, and MORE!
It's a visual take of American Gods - which I loved (book and TV show). So, I went into this expecting an easy 5 starrer.
I wasn't disappointed.
This story works incredibly well in a visual medium, and I highly recommend checking this out or the TV show if you like the book. Well worth it.
