Para apresentação não está mau. O world building para super interessante

I'm on the fence about this series. While the art is truly beautiful and the entire concept is an interesting one, what with reincarnated gods as celebrities (pop stars, artists, etc), what is especially interesting is the whole "2 year expiration date" for things. Even given that, I found myself a little bored with things, but that can happen with world-building sometimes. I'll go on to the second volume, both from my own curiosity about what comes next as well as the high praise and recommendation from people in my life.

It was an interesting concept but I didn't care too much about the characters. Felt like a more queer version of the Sandman.

The characters and artwork are great but I felt like the plot was a bit confusing at times considering it's the first volume. I am sure I'll like the next ones more, but at the moment I'm giving this 3 (3.5 actually) stars

This is a story that is not only best told in comics as a medium, but is maybe only tellable in comics as a medium. Phenomenal, can't wait for the next one.
