Sarah's Reviews > The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 5: Imperial Phase, Part I

3.5.

I thought this volume was a little slow and boring but I enjoyed it overall.

The first issue deviates from the usual comic's structure and it's told in a magazine format. There are articles about some of the gods where the gods do photoshoots and give interviews and there's also advertisements where the gods endorse products like phones and cologne. On the one hand, I liked it because it was something different, the pictures were absolutely stunning, I thought it was done very well because the columnists were actually real journalists but on the other hand, I personally don't enjoy reading magazine columns. I didn't enjoy reading the columns and I was looking forward to it ending so I could get the usual comic back. The rest of the volume was what you'd expect from the series. The art in this comic series is probably my favourite out of any series I've ever read. The drawings and the colours are just amazing like they get a 5/5 from me every time. The story was a bit slow and I guess it's just preparing for Phase 2 where I hope some messy stuff hits the fan.

Also The Morrigan is no longer my favourite because of reasons and I don't really like Amaterasu anymore. The only character I do like is Woden...

I would recommend this series.
