The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 5: Imperial Phase, Part I by Kieron Gillen

3.0

The first issue in this volume was made to be like an issue of a magazine. The whole issue is just a series of full-length interviews with the characters. It was not captivating in the slightest and it took me a long time to get through. All that text was so jarring. I wanted to read a comic, and that’s just not what that issue was. Also, it didn’t add anything to the narrative. It was the worst possible kind of filler.

Another issue (#27, I think?) had a weird color-coded format. I had to refer to the issue’s plot summary on the WicDiv wiki to understand what was going on.

Otherwise, it was a fine collection.
