Again with the article style pages- and there are SO many in this issue. It’s torturous and is making for a very convoluted era of the Gods.

Notes:
(1) The Funnies issue is exactly what you'd expect from a comedy anthology written by a bunch of indie darlings: indie-tier art and indie-style humor.
- Neither of which I care for, appreciate nor really understand.
(2) Like any collaborative effort, it's going to be hit-and-miss—especially so with humor.
- Whatever... it's not for me. I'm sure it appeals to someone.

Notes:
(1) Compared to the last issue this just flew by!
- No pages packed with pesky prose and, though some go quite long, these are all essentially comic strip stories.
- Things are almost always easier to digest in bite-sized bits.
(2) These are like deleted scenes, albeit prequel stories.
- Mostly to do with gods having sex with each other and the complications thereof.

Notes:
(1) The 1923 issue is double-length, but only inasmuch as it's half prose.
- Compared to the prose, the comic bits go by lightning fast, coming off like video game cut scenes or storybook illustrations.
(2) An interesting subplot involves a human couple turned sibling gods, and whether or not that's incest.
- I always thought gods marrying their siblings was a given.

Notes:
(1) The 1831 issue is a kind of Regency/Victorian pastiche, dropping literary references like it's going out of style.
- The core story is based on "Frankenstein," both the novel and its "tell me a ghost story" origins.
(2) Here gods take the form of famous writers/poets of the era—not the actual historical figures.
- Nothing new, 2014 Inanna took the form of Prince.

Notes:
(1) The 1373 AD one-shot is a kind of nature versus nurture case study. What would happen if you turned a wholly good and devout Christian girl into Lucifer.
- I guess nurture wins because you get a situation where Lucifer's a saintly Bride of Christ.
(2) Lucifer here outlives her two-year godly expiration, which is low-key attributed to her piety.
- It's a miracle.
