Ragnarock is finally here. The show to end all shows promises to be a lovely experience for all the gods...wait. Oh noes! Jamie and Matt have drawn Baphomet drenched in blood on the cover.

Wicked + Divine is deliberately fantastical, but not outlandish.

"The Wicked + The Divine" #10 is another satisfying installment to a good series, and readers should be on proper tenterhooks for the conclusion to the story arc next issue. What's going to happen?

Reading WicDiv as a trade seems like it would be the wrong way to go about it. The wait each month to pick up with Laura and the Pantheon enforces Gillen's masterful script work that alludes to activities occurring between issues we're not privy to, but that give the impression that the characters are growing even when not under the reader's gaze. Plus, with next issue's cover, who wouldn't want that on their wall someday? Read Full Review
