Hooray! WicDiv turned itself back around and this volume had me smiling and nodding and glad to be reading such a smartly-written comic again. It had honestly been so long since I read the previous volumes that I forgot/forget some of the major events that are referenced throughout this collection, but it was still stellar.

The opening issue is done in the style of a print magazine, full of interviews with some of the pantheon (including a posthumous interview with Lucifer!!!) and gorgeous accompanying artwork. That one took me longer to get through, and I was unsure about the direction this whole story was heading, but it really pleased me overall.

"Just because you're immortal doesn't mean you're going to live forever."

This series just keeps getting better and better!

1. I guess the “evil sort of muslims” not only blow up statues but give 1 star to this book.

2. It was getting boring anyway.
