Gods as popstars or popstars as gods...

























Whichever way you're looking at it, this is going to be HUGE!

WICKED & DIVINE #1 is the sure fire new independant series hit, coming from that rather clever comics scribe Kieron Gillen.

And he's teaming up again with artist Jamie McKelvie to bring about the same knock out team that knocked our socks off on YOUNG AVENGERS and PHONOGRAM.

So what's it all about?

12 gods who, every 90 years, incarnate pop figures, artists, singers, innovators of their day. In the 21st century, they happen to be pop stars of the David Bowie, Lady Gaga and Adele variety. Then, after two years, they die.

In Mr Gillens own words "The dual nature is key, this isn't just a book about gods as pop stars. This is a book about pop stars as gods. We're interested in both sets of archetypes."

Life is short folks, even shorter for these guys, what are they going to cram into 2 years? I personally can't wait to find out!

You can't either? Give us a shout and we'll get you on it
