The Morrigan and Baphomet are good bad company. Fucking loving these rereads.

Patiently waiting for the next issue, because this one was all:

LOL is that you, guy from Daft Punk?? wait, or Tron?

[Matilda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read it in twenty minutes.
Love it.
Want the next.
Rinse and repeat.

This is the best issue so far. It hit so many notes that I like. Everything was even more magical at one special moment. When the WicDiv spotify playlist shuffled a track so well with my reading that it left me gasp for entire minute.

And the map in the beginning and the working website at the end was a delight. I love stuff like that in comics.

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seriously, this story just keeps getting better. I am in love with The Morrigan and Inanna <3

There was so much plot packed into this issue that I think I'm going to have to reread once everything settles.

I really dig the map of the event, the details are amazing, but what the heck is that symbol in the top right corner? It looks a lot like a bunny... Unless there was a petting zoo that just doesn't make much sense.

I'm still reading this because of gorgeous art style, but the story is very hard to follow.

[Kumiko Mae LovingSunshine · Rating 5 out of 5]

i think this issue is one of my faves. i love how resigned characters are. and that also, motives are introduced

[Den · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this if you like: bloody graphic novels, London, modern gods and their pantheons, teenagers with god complexes (?), rock and roll, seemingly unending plot twists and turns

[Raja · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series started pretty strong and has just gotten so damn good.

[I' · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este número lo califico con tres estrellas porque la verdad no se me ocurre como valorarlo.
Me ha dejado un sentimiento un poco extraño: en parte porque me ha costado muchísimo ubicarme, en parte porque no tengo claro que lo haya conseguido.

De cualquier forma la idea en sí y la trama aún me tienen con mucha curiosidad asi que definitivamente seguiré leyendo.

[Aya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think at this point, I can say without a shred of doubt, that if not for nothing else, I'd continue this for the artwork.

[Fay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Why would you even bother?

[Jodi_ice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cawpile: 7.43 4*

[Jesse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm coming around to many of the characters. I really like Woden, getting to like Baphomet. The convention angle was real fun for me.

[Tim Nowotny · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's interesting what the covers still tell me after having read this so long ago

LEER RESEÑA COMPLETA EN MI BLOG: https://www.blogdivergente.com/2023/1...

“Fandemónium”, el segundo volumen de “The Wicked + The Divine” de Kieron Gillen y Jamie McKelvie es una continuación impactante de la serie de cómics que mezcla mitología, música y misterio de una manera única. Este segundo volumen sigue la historia de los dioses reencarnados que aparecen cada noventa años en forma humana, otorgándoles habilidades divinas y fama, pero con una trágica condición: morirán en dos años.

La trama se sumerge más profundamente en el mundo de los dioses y sus relaciones complicadas, al tiempo que explora las implicaciones culturales y sociales de su presencia en la sociedad contemporánea. La narrativa se desarrolla con giros imprevistos, dejando a los lectores ansiosos por descubrir los misterios detrás del guion.

Uno de los aspectos más destacados de este volumen es la expansión del elenco de personajes y la exploración de sus trasfondos individuales. Cada dios encarna una deidad específica y sus personalidades vibrantes y complejas agregan capas a la historia. Gillen logra equilibrar hábilmente la acción sobrenatural con los aspectos más humanos de los personajes, lo que contribuye a la riqueza de la narrativa.

2 Stars, don’t bother

Self purchase, Comixology

I don’t know if it’s because of the mood I’m in (Not good) but this issue was a WTF. I realize my depression and anxiety could be seriously affecting my judgement on this but I had no idea what was happening in this issue. I tried reading the description to see if it explained much but honestly it didn’t help.

En parte este cómic me irrita, y también me encanta. Lo que me irrita es que ahora que comenzó Fandemonium, han pasado meses; que significa esto...que hay un vacío de acontecimientos, y la verdad es que a veces no entiendo ni mierda lo que estoy leyendo. Lo que me encanta es que hay varios personajes nuevos, pero al mismo tiempo no han dejado abandonados a los antiguos -a la mayoría por lo menos-, y además apareció The Morrigan <3, así que soy feliz.

I am so excited for the next issue after the way this one ended. One subplot lost me a bit. There was a detailed, realistic map of an event that seemed very comic-con like and made the event believable.

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

whoop whoop
anyone else as excited as me for new godly encounters?
kinda feels like a filler, kinda doesnt
could anything in this series discourage me from reading it to the end? i honestly dont think so.

AAAAAA IT IS DIONYSUS WOOOO

[diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sorta feels like a transitional issue - some things are getting set up and the main show is on the way, but hasn't happened yet.

Laura gets to hang with gods doing Karaoke. Snort.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

The reveal at the end made me squeal out loud.

[Becky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really love the pacing with which the members of the Pantheon are being introduced and explored. Each are unique and obviously really well developed even beyond what we are given of them.

[Ria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tron stylin'.

You're caring, it's better than the alternative. I've shared a bed with the alternative a few times. Not good.

[Hayley · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. Not quite as good as the earlier issues.

[Debs · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as good as the previous volumes
