Nov 10, 2026Deicidium: Returned is a breathtaking opening chapter to what could become one of Ram V's most ambitious works yet. Its sprawling mythology, richly imagined cultures, and fascinating exploration of faith and capitalism give the story incredible depth. Evan Cagle's stunning artwork brings this world to life with godlike grandeur, while the explosive action and clever use of color make its biggest moments unforgettable. The plot takes its time getting started, but there's so much imagination and visual storytelling packed into these pages that it's hard to complain. This is the beginning of something potentially extraordinary. Read Full Review
