The Wicked & The Divine Book One | 
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book #3 of 2021 was my favorite so far. It hits all my fave comic areas: magic, myth, mystery, femme badassery, diverse representation, and gorgeous images. I loved the art in this one - and the hardcover compilation (ep 1-11) has such a nice feel to read. Definitely going to order the next of these! (Image ft. one of my kitties - Kava and my pup - Sesame... which do you think is the wicked / divine? 😉)
I took July and August off from buying books, then splashed out in September. It was my most expensive month of 2019 to date, thanks to the tagged book. It cost me $10 at the Children‘s Hospital Book Market, and to be honest, I wouldn‘t have bought it if they‘d had my September 28th purchases out on the tables that day. I just wanted to give the sick kids some money.
Oh well. The book‘s awfully pretty, and it does have cool special features.
I‘ve been reading this series on #Hoopla. I like my graphic novels in collection format, and I‘ve finished Books 1 & 2.
Gods who die after 2 years of fame and adoration. Conspiracies, misdirection, and some nice artwork.

Challenge: read a book in the same spot.
Picking an easy one for this challenge. I should finish this in one sitting and of course I am reading it in bed 🤷.
All right, one 2019 reading goal achieved! 🙌🏻📚
pickA curious start to a series. While a bit heavy handed, the characters carry it through and maintain affective interest. I‘ll certainly be checking out the next.
pickEvery ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead. The Wicked and the Divine welcomes you to a world where the gods are the world's biggest pop and rock stars. Every 90 years they return, take human form, and try to inspire humanity. But this takes a toll. They burn brightly, but quick. Within 2 years they die. Laura is one of their biggest fans, but is there more to her than it seems?
pickNeedless to say, it was too cold to go outside for NCBD yesterday but I had saved the tagged issue for just such an occasion. So, a brief interlude as they get ready for the final arc. This is a collection of stories by various artists parodying the Wicked + The Divine. The best is a parody in the vein of Scooby Doo and the gang. Fun but not to be read unless you read the series—it just wouldn‘t be as fun.

A group of 12 find that they are reincarnated as deities. The catch is they only have 2 years to live.

... Also, Lucifer modeled after David Bowie is a big win in my books!😍
pick"What just happened... what the F*** just happened? Where's the rest!?" This series is doing me in.?

A friend has become obsessed with this series in the last week, and it has been on my list for a while so I decided to go for it. Buffy references are always a way to my heart.
bailedCouldn't finish because I just didn't care. The art is good, but there is not a strong storyline here. It's mostly just "there's gods, look how cool they are!"
Since everyone else is doing it, I finally figured out how. 🙂
And of course, here is the character homage to Prince as Inanna. Lol, the voice of Alf died today (RIP Michu Meszaros). Thank goodness he wasn't in here as a reincarnated God. Great book. #comicsrule
An homage to David Bowie...as a female lucifer. No greater compliment to his art.
pickCan't wait to read this graphic novel. Every 90 years, 12 gods return as young people. They are all dead after 2 years. It's happening again....right now.
