okay but, el mejor crossover entre dos cosas totalmente diferentes: WicDiv y Agatha Christie. El resultado es genial.

Lo mejor es que puede leerse solito, sin haber leido nada de Wicked con anterioridad.
Lo otro mejor es que es mitad comic mitad novela tipo murder mystery party ala Agatha Christie.
Y lo más mejor (sí, más) es toda su crítica sobre como los dioses deben morir para que el mundo viva y como al arte funciona en la mente del mundo. Tiene un chingo de crítica social sobre el optimismo y el pesimismo.
Después de leer este, vayanse a leer la serie regular, vale la pena :)

Not exactly a comic, very text heavy, but worked for me. Loved the art and the addition to WicDiv canon.

Hmmm, I found this one a little difficult. I was looking forward to seeing the last Pantheon and how they interacted with relatively recent history. However...most of the book is in prose, rather than in graphic novel form. I felt a little bit cheated.
Seeing some of the same Gods, Lucifer, Minerva, Woden etc, in different incarnations was interesting. I kept looking for similarities between the older and newer versions. Not quite a spoiler, Woden is still a bleep-head.
I do like the artwork. The 1920’s Art Deco inspiration is gorgeous.

I didn't read it all, I just follow the images... I mean, this is supposed to be a comic, a graphic novel, no? why would you make it in this format?

Another glimpse at previous incarnations of the gods and more Ananke crazy treachery. Just WTF is she up to?!

Half comic and half Agatha Christie novel.

2nd Read:Still so much mystery about what happens here. It’s possible the automaton or whatever is Persephone, but it seems strange Ananke would need the other gods to help summon her. But maybe she’s just fucking with them. Regardless, this is possibly Gillen’s finest work on the series.

A murder mystery, 12 gods, and one mysterious leader. Kieron Gillen is wordy (as ever, which is why I'm adding this to my reading challenge -- this is novella length, I swear) but crafts a beautiful And Then There Were None story. You don't need to be up to date on WicDiv to enjoy it, either. Although it helps.

By far the best WicDiv special. The 1920s Recurrence is my favorite Pantheon next to the recent godly reincarnations.
