That guy in the beekeeper suit is holding a thing that's freaking everyone out. A Skinner box is bigger on the inside than the outside. The Avatar makes an enemy on the Axis of Power. If you save the universe and no one remembers, is it worth it? Maybe.

G.O.D.S. #4 takes a side step away from world-building to explore an interaction that takes place in a very small space of time, maximizing the spectacle. In the very same issue, we see an exploration of an impossible amount of space. The nature of time and the universe are on full display in this existential action adventure that is excitingly impossible to predict. Read Full Review

Magic, and its various depictions, sit at the heart of G.O.D.S. #4 just as the book makes its first foray into depicting the true forms of abstract beings. Hickman retains the human approach to the story as Robert and Wynn lie at the center of the issue. Schiti elevates these two in a series of repeating panels that showcase the art and colors genius approach to depicting the manipulation of time and spells. Schiti is also allowed to deepen Wynns character while revealing the otherworldly designs for abstract beings like The In-Betweener and Oblivion. With four issues under its belt, it has become clear that this series is a consistently great exploration of character and cosmology. Read Full Review
G.O.D.S. #4 slowly but surely transitions the series from pure character- and world-building into a story with an actual plot and stakes. If Hickman keeps going where it looks like he's going, this series could have reality-ending consequences on a bigger scale than one we've seen in some time. Plus, Schiti's art goes a long way toward keeping Hickman's higher concepts grounded and accessible. Read Full Review

This is still a very complex, intricately woven comic, but that also makes it a little too obtuse at times, and a little too full of itself. Fun read, at least. Read Full Review
