The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 3: Commercial Suicide by Kieron Gillen

5.0

This was by far the best collection of this series. It is less action driven than the previous two volumes, but gives you six uniquely illustrated issues, each focusing on the backstory of a member of the pantheon. Some narratives (Tara's in particular) are moving examinations of modern interpersonal relationships that give the reader an opportunity for insight and understanding beyond what could be obtained through written word or image alone. The art ranges from cartoony to painterly, some of it is especially stunning. One issue consists entirely of panels from previous issues that have seamlessly been re-mixed into a fresh narrative, which is a challenging and experimental visual storytelling device that I have not previously seen utilized so successfully.
