I’m not sure how much this milieu contributes to the broad appeal of the comic book The Wicked + The Divine (my seventh book read so far… Continue reading The Wicked + The Divine – Vol 1
One review calls it “a comic book love letter to non-compliant women.” I’d call this sixth book I’ve read in 2016 a great story from Image comics and Kelly Sue Deconnick.
