The Wicked + The Divine Compendium
Checking Availibility...Description
"The Wicked + The Divine is about art, creativity and living to the fullest, but mainly about death." --USA Today
The critically acclaimed, compulsively page-turning, urban fantasy series returns in its definitive edition, collecting the complete story in one binge-ready volume.
Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead.
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.
The critical and commercial smash by the team behind Young Avengers and PHONOGRAM has its entire story collected in this single volume.

Reviews
"Solid storytelling and clean, gorgeous artwork."
"Gillen's penchant for fast, sharp dialogue and McKelvie and Wilson's razor-lined, intensely colored visuals keep things popping."
"The story is beautifully drawn and populated with characters of color, diverse gender, and sexual identities, and you have my full undivided attention."
"The Wicked and The Divine is super-powers and stardom, with a pinch of American Gods and a dollop of Ziggy Stardust put through a philosophical meat grinder."
"The Wicked + The Divine is among the strongest Image debuts of recent memory. This book is absolutely worth checking out."
"I never thought a comic book would make me feel sorry for Katy Perry. But The Wicked + The Divine generated some real empathy for someone whose music I can't stand. It's that damn good."
"Thoroughly engaging puzzle of a plot, excellent character development and a brutal ability to follow through on promises made."
"A beautiful conflation of superhero mythos and pop-star worship."
"The Wicked + The Divine is the best comic book you're probably not reading (yet)... For a book inspired by death, it's incredibly alive."
