That ending. WOW!Update: It has now been more than 12 hours since I finished this graphic novel and I'm still shocked about the ending.
I must say, I am really enjoying this series! The Wicked + The Divine, Vol.2: Fandemonium, picks up soon after where we left of after the first volume. Things have picked up and the story has definitely become more intense.Laura is still on a mission to discover who is behind the tragic events that occurred within the first volume and a few of the gods now seem more willing to help her out.A few more characters/gods are introduced and while I worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep track of them...
First of all, I need that "Lucifer died for our sins" shirt. Second, the art in this series has easily become one of my all time favorites. It's so beautiful. Third. Wtf why you gotta do me like that, ending?!
Hmmmm . . . Not quite sure what just happened!? This series is quite bizarre and while it is very visually stimulating, I did not follow it as much as volume 1.I have been reading about one graphic volume a week and this is some of the best art work I have scene. I am not fond of the wrinkly face of the old main character in the book - but that is really my only complaint. If you will be offended by pagan and polytheistic religious themes, this is not the series for you. But, if you have an open...
The cliffhanger of cliffhangers.
That ending. What. I am NOT okay.
I mean seriously! What is with these endings! So, Laura is still depressed over Luci's (Lucifer) death. Inanna comes along and wants to help her find out what really happened. Some other people. . er . . gods are back as well. Some people are made into new gods and other crazy stuff that blows my mind. Even though I don't understand some of the things they talk about in the book (maybe they don't either) I still love it and I love the freaking graphics. They are just as awesome as the first volu...
Holy crap.. That ending...
I honestly had such a hard time picking a star rating for this one, because something about this graphic novel series is simultaneously intriguing and really... frustrating and boring. So much happens, yet there's no attachment to any of the characters, so it's hard to care about most of the events. I will admit, though, that the ending caught me, and I'll probably pick up Volume 3 just to see where the story goes next.
This story is so all over the place that it should come with a bucketload of aspirin. You know, to cure the headache the reader will undoubtedly suffer from by the time he/she turns the last page. Most of the time you have no clue what's going on, what the characters are talking about or what the hell it all means. A pinch of why, a dash of huh, a drop of "I'm lost," a tinge of "did I miss something," a zest of "oh look, a plot hole!" and TADA! Confusion is you. The story isn't bad, it's just t...
Lucifer: "You're a nice person, doesn't mean you're a good one." Laura, Innana and Cassandra and her press team try to make sense of Luci's fate by investigating the original assassination. The only thing that some people want to know is - if you kill a God do you get their powers? More of this London-centric, diverse cast. but retro-feel fantasy-conspiracy thriller-mystery. It feels, and it appears that there are things happening under the surface of some of the main protagonists lives that the...
So I think I understand this a little more. There are suppose to be only twelve gods in a cycle, and each one is harder than the previous one to find. The only reason I knocked out a star is because I am still a little confused on who is who and what.I need a guide book to keep up with who is who.I also think these gods are based off of Greek mythology, at least a little. For example, I believe these three are knock offs of The Fates.Also, in case you were wondering, everything is still like rea...
Literally don't know what to say. I don't like any of the characters, the story is simply thin, flat and full of cliffhangers that don't make any sense. The art is lovely though. So yeah...
