2.5 starsThe Wicked and the Divine had this special something about it that kept me interested the entire time I was reading it.But once I finished, I was like...that's it?Even now, I'm not sure I read the same book that seems to have captured the hearts of most of my friends.So this one is about gods who show up every so often, live for a few years, and then die. I'm not sure if they kill themselves when their time is up, or if they just explode when the timer goes beep. But for whatever reason...
Well, hello, gorgeous cover!The Wicked and the Divine has a very interesting concept. It's like a rough spin on something we're are all completely familiar with: Pop Stars. They're everywhere, they are addicting, they are our idols. In this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, the gods are the pop stars and the pop stars are the gods. Everyone would love to be them, they worship them but alas, they die within two years. They can have all their glory and fame only for two years and they get rei...
11/24/17 - ON SALE for $3.99: http://amzn.to/2hPpteQReviewed by: Rabid ReadsSO. Every ninety years a bunch of gods take over the bodies of a bunch of teenagers to live as pop stars for two years before they die. Riiiiight. B/c gods have nothing better to do than become Taylor Swift. Fame is everything. Worship. Adulation. Whatever, I'm bored. Know what else is boring? They don't use their god-like powers b/c it will scare the puny humans. Is it just me, or are these the lamest gods ever? E...
Slick but shallow, self-congratulatory, sterile, ultimately pointless pop-stars-as-gods fantasy, as far as I can tell. I tried twice, but I just can't get into this one. 1.5 stars.
DNF 70%I don't see myself finishing this anytime soon, the art is breathtaking but I have 0 interest in the story. The concept has potential, but I just can't stand the characters at all, they all sound the same to me.
3.5/5 starsLike most everyone else, I thought the art was beautiful and astounding and fantastic. However, the story was lacking. The general premise is really interesting, but I got confused as to what was actually happening most of the time. The book felt like it was more about introducing the gods than having an actual consistent storyline.BUT I MEAN that ending.
This will be a review for both issue 1 and the edition comprising issues 1 to 5 (yeah I'm lazy I know).I hardly ever read comics. Not that I dislike them, it's just that I don't usually like the artwork very much. Then I discovered The Wicked + The Divine.The artwork is amazing. The colours are incredible. I'm not very familiar with the world of comics and graphic novels but I've never seen anything quite like this before. Beautiful. And hypnotizing. I could browse the issues for hours, just loo...
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestCome for the art, stay for the LGBT+ fan-service. I honestly wasn't sure about what to expect with THE WICKED + THE DIVINE. Half my friends loved it, half my friends hated it. I'm in Team Loved It but I can definitely see why it isn't for everyone. It's messy, it's shallow, it's weird, it's violent, it's mean...But it works.X meets Y descriptions are so overdone, but this is literally like American Gods meets Jem and the Holograms. Every
5 freaking stars for the artwork! Why? Because I can!As you can read from the blurb, these gods come back every 90 years to be on Earth for 2 years and then I guess they die or whatever. I don't understand all of those reasons or why they come back every 90 years but who cares. The story is so different and the artwork is amazeballs. This time they come back as pop stars. Bwhahahhaha, sorry, I just think that is hilarious! We have Laura who is a fangirl and wants to be with them and she befriend...
I enjoyed this, but I found it difficult to follow at times and it felt rather undeveloped. I definitely want to continue on with this series, but I can't deny that I wasn't very impressed with this first volume.
One word would be sufficient to describe this graphic novel, and that word would be absurd. Everything was all over the place, and the plot didn't do it justice. Most of the time I depend on the characters for enjoyment, but a bad plot is never forgivable. Not the worst I've read ever, but it was confusing as hell.This one had a wonderful premise, but the execution was questionable. I was honestly underwhelmed because the plot wasn't fully developed. I know that this is part of a series, but tha...
Interesting story, but more for millennials than old farts like perhaps. Some of the ideas are good, but the jumps in the story are abrupt and the names of the gods don’t really make a lot of sense with respect to their stories (technically, Lucifer was an angel, not a god for one example). I’ll give Vol 2 a shot but I remain skeptical.
Friends, apparently this is just the week of me hating everyone’s favs, because I honestly did hate this. This is maybe the worst graphic novel I have ever read. I’m sorry, I truly am so sorry. Trust me, I don’t like hurting anyone’s feelings AND I absolutely hate wasting my time. But I honestly only liked the diversity in this. That’s it. But not even a pansexual lucifer was enough for me to like this. The full-page art openers of each issue were beautiful, but I didn’t even love the art of the...
Gorgeous art, cool concept, messy text
