G.O.D.S. #3 is a dense, rich issue that builds up and delivers on the two central elements of this book. The grounded, human qualities and the infinity, abstract wonders come into contact, making for a collision of mystery and motive. Filled to the brim with foreshadowing, conceptual beings, and archetypal tragedy, the issue makes the case for why the premise of this series is such a slam dunk sell. The artwork from Schiti and colors from Gracia reinforce those diverse elements that harmonize into a compelling melody of fascinating mystery. With each issue, G.O.D.S. solidifies itself as a book that feels closer to encapsulating the beating heart of Marvel, which every fan of the shared universe should be reading. Read Full Review

G.O.D.S. is still laying out the full enormity of its mysteries, but it's doing so in a way that will ensure readers are too hooked to do anything but see all the way through. Read Full Review
GODS #3 tries very hard to be esoteric, high-concept, and fancy, but the end result is visually engaging, energetic, and often tedious or confusing. I appreciate that Hickman is trying to build out an entire mystical side to the Marvel Universe, but fancy weirdness should never come at the expense of clarity or entertainment. Read Full Review
This new series from Jonathan Hickman continues to blend an amazing balance between character development, intriguing plot threads, and expanding the overall Marvel lore in such intriguing and dynamic ways. I’ve been completely surprised in how much I’ve enjoyed all of the new characters introduced in these three issues so far, which has been a far cry from their initial teases in backup stories earlier this year. This issue specifically moves the story deeper into the complex relationships between gods, humans, and the very fabric of reality, offering both mind-bending ideas and visually stunning visual sequences from a masterful Valerio Schiti. Schiti's art complements Hickman's writing perfectly, with detailed and dynamic panels brinmore
This was my least favorite issue so far, but I still really enjoyed it. Oblivion is definitely a character I want to see more of and I get the sense we will with how this issue ended. Hickman is building a highly intriguing universe and the inclusion of her and even Amelia continue to create an awesome foundation. Plus, Schiti's art continues to be very nice.
Plot
Doctor Strange and Wyn reveal to Aiko and Dr Saint-Maur Cercle that who is behind the Cusbik Core, apparently related to the lord of chaos, Inbetweener, but Strange perceives that a being called Amelia who is the reincarnation of Kassandra is for murdering the god Oblivion...who was having a revealing conversation with Dimitri.
The death of Oblivion seems to be the beginning of the BABYLON EVENT
This comic slows down the accelerated narrative pace a lot to focus on showing too much or too much information about this overwhelming universe.
Art
