The Wicked + The Divine

Every ninety years, twelve gods return as young people. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are all dead. The year is 1923. It's happening again. It's happening now.

Twelve little gods chosen from Heaven,
One committed suicide and then there were eleven;

how's everyone doing

this is a long one and very text heavy so settle in

Pretty good.

Been looking forward to this!

i dunno why Woden is Voldemort

...

Gotta say, this Pantheon was pretty based.
They all lasted til the end.

it is very good. but i also like the time period a lot.

there's a moment where gillen does something that made me throw the book, not bc i was mad but bc it was clever but also obvious and i was just like awed a little

they hit the roaring 20s just right, missed WW1 and the Depression!

should i point out the gods inspiration or do you guys wanna work it yourself?

...

...

...

Well, Neptune and Dionysus don't leave much to the imagination.

Bum bum.

yeah i know i should've done the Then There Were None rhyme here probably but i wanted to jump with it

also mad that Gillen managed to hold back from him getting shot in a pool

...

I think Luci is the only God we've seen in each era. Dunno what the split is between Gillen trying to say something and that begin his favorite kind of character.

i'm reading a book on the spanish civil war so this whole issue i was keeping myself from getting annoyed that they're so early.

...

True, but that's what happens when the time table is implemented.

...

...

yeah, in the writer's notes for the Rome special he talks about how the timeline can get fudged bc of people's perception of history, like we think of Rome as one time period even though it was hundreds of years, and applying that to this (in say 3001 will those 10 years matter for the story) it makes it work for me.

That's just morbidly funny

Sistine chapel. I’m blanking on the stupid name

...

...

Now you can work back for the other 2 Norns

...

...

...

She's become so great now that her reticent and disgust at these people is revealed.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

So, with what we last saw, this is what she's doing with the heads, right?

...

this is when i threw the book btw, the train

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

She's too hard on herself.

It's the best run she did, in what we've seen.

...

...

That would be helpful, you could spoiler it for those who'd want to figure it out themselves.

Haha that's all, hope you dug it. New arc in March. WITH ANSWERS!?

i'm gonna try and post the Xmas special before it comes out because it's actually written by Gillen. I thought it was a fan showcase thing.

I read it.
It made me realize how much of an idiot I was about Dionysus.

McKelvie's art makes it way clearer that Minerva's intended to be Shirley Temple.
