The Wicked + the Divine Compendium

"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. Welcome to THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, where gods are the ultimate pop stars. But remember: just because you're immortal, doesn't mean you're going to live forever"--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes : "Gillen's penchant for fast, sharp dialogue and McKelvie and Wilson's razor-lined, intensely colored visuals keep things popping."-- " Booklist " Review Quotes : " The Wicked + The Divine is among the strongest Image debuts of recent memory.

But The Wicked + The Divine generated some real empathy for someone whose music I can't stand. It's that damn good." -- " Kotaku " Review Quotes : "Thoroughly engaging puzzle of a plot, excellent character development and a brutal ability to follow through on promises made."-- " Tor.com " Review Quotes : "A beautiful conflation of superhero mythos and pop-star worship."-- " Flavorwire " Review Quotes : " The Wicked + The Divine is the best comic book you're probably not reading (yet)...
