A review by watson_face
Journey into Mystery, Vol. 4: The Manchester Gods by Richard Elson, Kieron Gillen

4.0

Not realizing the microscopic 4 on the spine, I pick this up thinking it is a stand-alone so imagine my surprise when I have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON but I end up liking it anyway (especially since there is a There Will Be Blood reference in the second panel). I may not fully understand the giant spiders with mansions on their backs attacking the Otherworld but I enjoy the way Gillen writes a 16 year old God of Mischief. I get the gist of where this comic is going and I am thoroughly entertained enough that I will be making it my business to pick up the previous three books.

Oh and after the main tale, there is a Thor one involving a centuries long battle between The Other and Scrier that Thor gets in the middle of while Oblivion looks on creepily in the background.

Enjoy.
