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

5.0

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.
