It’s rare that read comics when they still being released. I prefer to wait for the trade paperbacks, or read self-contained stories, but The Wicked + The Divine had too many high recommendations to resist.
Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead.
The characters, core conceit, and visual style all shine and delivered visceral thrill and gut-punches in a way only comics can. In an odd way, it reminded me of Sandman, but that might only be because there was something goodly Gaimaneque about it. Kieron Gillen and Jamie McElvie have created something to watch. Or read. Keep an eye on.
TW+TD’s first TPB, The Faust Act is out now. Amazon will be releasing it next week, or, support your friendly local comic shop.
