Aright first time doing one of these.
So quick synopsis
spoilers:end of spoilers
First couple panels are set in 1923 around a table with four filled seats and rest are skulls. The four seats are the remaining gods. Include asian male holding wine glass, female wearing a sun dress with a classic sun sign, black male with finger pyramid and shadow hands forming below it and a smaller girl with a day of the dead makeup style. An old lady wearing a mask asks if any remaining gospel. No reply so seen as no. Then the remaining gods snap there fingers and boom goes the building. Then moves to modern day and shows the protaganist Laura donning shinto style makeup and going to a concert by Amateratsu. Shows Amateratsu singing though noone understands what she is saying and is done in a constant high pitch. THe audience passes out with Laura being last. Laura then wakes up to Luci, you know who. WHo then lights a cigarette with her finger. They move into the same room where Amateratsu is performing an interview with Sekhmet on a couch. Love how they gave her a Rhianna like look with a female and male on either side of her. The interviewer is being disrespectful and calling the Gods liars. Red light appears and Sekhmet goes after it on each of the gods. Luci then mentions Sekhmet is in heat. Then the interviewers are shot by hitmen throught the window. Luci then steps in front of the fire on the balcony and...snap there heads go boom. Trial then occurs with Luci pointing out she didn't commit murder and if did she is a god. Proceeds to grandstand and performs a fake snap but Judge's head blows up anyway. WHo did it in order to frame Luci?
This book has great imagery and reflects the world's current dismissive nature when it comes to Gods and afterlife. The art is fantastic and Gillen is doing his job through and through that we are used to on his YA and his UXM.
And art, is to be expected. Fantastic. Just makes you feel like these teenagers are truly god and be inspired. Each god has there own look that is reflected of who they are god wise.
