Wicked and The Divine Year 2 elevates the plot from a commentary on celebrity obsession in the 21st century to an action packed drama... and it’s awesome.

James McKelvie is absent for the first half of this book but it didn’t hurt the book too much. For this arc, the plot slowed down to flesh out some of the members of the Pantheon not highlighted in the first Hardcover. I really appreciated this because pretty much all of the gods are interesting, so fleshing them out with guest artists was a really smart idea. The artists chosen for these arcs fit their God very well. When McKelvie comes back for the last half of this book, the plot progresses at breakneck speed and it’s awesome. Gillen and McKelvie ramp it up to 11 and set up a really cool status quo for the book for the third hardcover.

Wick+Div Volume 2 gets a solid 8.5/10 from me. I’m definitely going to be picked up the subsequent volumes, this series is great.

It's getting better, the dialogue is really weak but I stick around for pretty cool, bright artwork and a relatively interesting story that I'm curious to see where it goes

First, thank god Laura isn’t dead. I love her character. Second, was not a huge fan of the art styles throughout these issues. The story remains just as fast paced and gripping but the art didn’t pull me in as much. Can’t wait to see what happens now that Persephone has done her crazy ass work and killed A. Whew! Onward!
