Rated T+
With only one issue to go for this iteration of the series, the creative team provides another example of how refreshing and heartbreaking the intersection of magic and science can be. Read Full Review
G.O.D.S. #7 is a reminder this series is more like a taste-tester for adding rules and reveals around Marvel's cosmic universe. It's not so much building a story but building a foundation to develop stories later. In this way, it continues to intrigue while maintaining an obtuse nature to its grander purpose. Read Full Review
It's a personal issue that doesn't shy away from having Dimitri may a defiant, definitive statement on what matters to him. It's also tragic, though not quite as a heart-rending it seems intent on being, perhaps because it isn't all that hard to figure out what the downer twist before it lands. That said, the art remains gorgeous, and G.O.D.S., as it nears it (apparent) end, continues to feel like it is just now beginning to ramp up to something. Read Full Review
G.O.D.S. #7 puts the conflict with the In-Betweener on pause for a side story about Dimitri fulfilling a personal quest. In isolation, this isa perfectly good story that tells you everything you want to know about Dimitri and his life to this point. In context, the urgent conflict involving the In-Betweener is at a standstill when only one issue is left to tell that story. This does not bode well for the finale. Read Full Review

Oof...this was heavy. I loved getting to know Dmitri a little more. This feels weird as a penultimate issue in an 8-issue series, but judging it on its own, I loved it.
There are things here that bother and puzzle me, but I enjoy reading it regardless. It's not perfect, but it's still more engaging and fresh than most of what Marvel is doing.
After re-reading G.O.D.S by taking my time and reading it one issue, I appreciate this series a lot more.
