Every ninety years twelve Gods are reincarnated as human pop
stars. Though they are immortal, their
life expectancy as humans is limited to two years. Some love them, some hate them. None understand them. The
Wicked + The Divine, Vol 1 includes the first 5 issues. The story centers around one fortunate fan
who gets and opportunity to meet the Gods up close and personal. When an unfortunate event occurs and Luci
(aka Lucifer) defends herself and the others, she is put in prison for her
deeds. Our hero fangirl tries to track
down the killer and free Luci.
The artwork is sound in this and the storyboards are easy to
follow. I did find that the story was a
bit dry and if I wasn’t reading this for a review I probably would have stopped
about 50 pages in. That being said, I
think the chances of my reading subsequent volumes is reduced despite the
clever, if not predictable, twist at the end of volume 5. Though don’t take my word for it. I’ve read many positive reviews that loved
this storyline so make that decision for yourself.
