Th Wicked + the Divine Vol. 1
Original Publication date: November 2014
Book description (from Good Reads): Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead. The team behind critical tongue-attractors like Young Avengers and PHONOGRAM reunite to create a world 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.
This issue includes volume 1 through 5
It has a very intriguing premise but the execution was simply ok. The art is awesome, I like the colors and such but the story itself is just average it tries to have a few jokes, but the overall plot I am not sure what is trying to do.
I see some of the things like making the gods inhabit mortal bodies, it's kind of ok, but they're not all gods some are angels, so why call them all gods?
Oh well technicalities, it an entertaining read.
The normal girl who catches Lucifer's interest, she an average teen obsessed with the gods of music at the time. She is rebellious and easy to relate to I guess. But really the characters show very superficial personalities and no growth but then again it is the beginning so things can certainly pick up.
Will continue most likely in the next couple of weeks with the next volume to see what comes next, the ending did pick up a bit of intrigue so I really want to se how it unfolds.
I gave this a 3 star rating.
