Not much more to say except I will not be continuing the series ( ) I'm very conflicted about how I feel about Volume 1. On one hand, the story overall is very very interesting, and I want to see more of the various gods and how they came to be. There are some real Percy Jackson-y vibes, although much more adult, about the whole gods-among-humans thing. The art style is also good; I enjoy the use of the electric pastels, and the colors set the scenes very nicely. But this felt confusing. There were multiple times that I had to go back and re-read a passage or a couple of pages. The concert scene in the subway tunnels was especially confusing! I also feel like that whole chunk of the story didn't add much but took up a lot of room (although maybe I misunderstood something? Again, confusing). The main human character, Laura, is also severely underdeveloped. We don't know why she's so obsessed with the gods, or her motivations, or actually anything about her other than that she loves them. I want to like this series, and I'm going to read Volume 2. But this just felt a little weak in some respects, although the premise is engaging. (Note: I was very close to giving this 2 stars, but "rounded up" in a sense. That should give a little more insight into my feelings about this one) Theological figures possess people and are essentially rock and pop stars for two years before they die. An unknown group tried to kill some of them leading to Lucifer being possibly set up and jailed. Following the story and tangled up in it are a superfan of the gods and a bitter and cynical journalist. The idea is bizarre. The writing is brilliant. The art is gorgeous. Lucifer is a hot, Queer femme. The mystery and politics are fascinating. I love it. The first five issues are really an introduction to the world and a set up for our protagonist, so I'm left with a lot of questions and not really having too much of a clue what's going on. But that's the beauty of stories, especially comics, they don't have to make sense as long as the experience makes you feel something. I am absolutely bought in and this first volume has whetted my appetite for more of this and a need to check out other things the writer and artists have worked on. Regardless of whatever else you do, you simply must look up the alternative covers for these issues. They are fucking sublime! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

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. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
