When I was a kid, I devoured Ingri and Edgar Parin d\u2019Aulaires\u2019&nbsp;books of Greek and Norse myths. That led me to fall in love with Neil Gaiman\u2019s novel \u201cAmerican Gods\u201d and enjoy catching references in Bill Willingham\u2019s \u201cFables\u201d comics. So it should be no surprise that Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie\u2019s comic series \u201cThe Wicked and The Divine\u201d is something that I would thoroughly enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>In this alternate reality, 12 gods are randomly reincarnated into young humans every 90 years and then given a life expectancy of two years. Yet what\u2019s interesting is that they don\u2019t know they\u2019re gods until the Greek goddess Ananke grants them divinity. The new gods also then keep both their human memories and recover the ones from past lives.<\/p>\n<p>The series starts when Lucifer is framed for murder, and the story goes more out of control from there because, well, they are gods after all \u2014 famous for holding grudges and interfering in the lives of mortals. Being gods, they also loved to worshipped, so they become pop stars.<\/p>\n<p>Each god is like a genre of music and some are explicitly modeled on rock stars like Prince and Davis Bowie. Sakhmet looks like Rhianna, Dionysus holds raves, and the colors, bold lines and unique speech bubbles give each god depth.<\/p>\n<p>I can practically hear the music leap off the page. But for those who can\u2019t, or diehard fans who want a little extra, there\u2019s even an official Spotify playlist that\u2019s a perfect accompaniment while you read.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/the-geiger-counter-bottoms-up-with-beer-bourbon-and-the-backcountry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Wicked and The Divine\u201d by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie I love mythology.
