The Wicked + The Divine #45

 REALLY? THAT was the ending to ALL the mystery and INTRIGUE hinted at throughout the series??? MAN, to say I'm disappointed and underwhelmed is the understatement of the year.
It's like that battle in Twilight where it ended up all an illusion in some guy's mind, only somehow worse. I don;'t even know if I can re-read the series knowing what is revealed at the end.
At least the artwork looked beautiful throughout the entire run. The individual issues I have still hold a place in my collection.

The Wicked + Divine Vol.5: Imperial Phase I

Oh MAN this series is blowing me away right now!!! Can't believe I initially bailed on this series during the third arc, Wicked and Divine is getting so damn AWESOME that it's rivalling SAGA and THEY'RE NOT LIKE US for FAVORITE series right now!!!

The Wicked + The Divine Vol.1-4

Loved Books  One and Two, but when Arc Three came around and they got new artists to do each episode, Ii REALLY lost interest in the series. Plus I had no idea where the storyline was going at that point.
But when i saw an open copy of the latest issue at Other Realms and realized Wilson Cowles was back as the regular artist, I decided to pick up the fourth arc to see if it got any better.
HOLY SHIT, IT DID! This series picked right up and started getting better and BETTER til I was BACK into the book, and now can barely WAIT for Book 5 (which should be coming out very soon)!!!

The Wicked+The Divine, Vol.2: Fandemonium

Picked up the trade paperback of The Wicked+The Divine "Fandemonium" and only when  began to read it did I realize I had every individual issue in it and that i'd read it all before!
D'oh, somehow i thought this trade was starting the next arc (which i didn't pick up monthly)...looks like I'll have to get the third volume!

The Wicked + The Divine, Vol.1: The Faust Act

While running to my local comic book store to see if SAGA had yet come out of their hiatus, I ran into my friend Shirley in the parking lot and when I told her I was on my way to the comic store, she told me her favorite series as one called THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, a story about the gods and their time on earth. "Like Mount Olympus kind of Gods?" I asked, but Shirl said that it was more like SANDMAN where these humans took the embodiment of the beings like Love, Death, etc. and interacted for a short time among the living til they perished.
 All I had to hear was the reference to Sandman, and I was TOTALLY on board, and HAD to see if the comic store had it! When I got there, I was thrilled to find that Wicked and Divine had just released its first trade paperback a few months ago and IMMEDIATELY snatched it up! When I took it home and read it, I was so blown away by how awesome it was, I not only made plans to sart collecting the individual issues from that point on, but went on ebay to buy each individual issue included in the TPB (the covers were so damn beautiful, each one featuring one member of the Gods) PS: It was a good thing they had  that Wicked and Divine trade when I went in, because I was to find out that SAGA would not be coming back for one more week!!! So lucky to find this to immerse myself in as I wait!
