Episode 103 — The Wicked + The Divine

January 30, 2015

This week on View from the Gutters our topic work is The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 1, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Jamie McKelvie and colors by Matt Wilson. Every 90 years 12 gods incarnate in the bodies of teenagers. All of them are dead within 2 years. The series follows Laura, a teenage girl living in London who idolizes The Pantheon—as the 12 gods are known—and is part of a subculture which follows them like celebrities. Laura soon finds herself helping Luci—that is, Lucifer—after the latter stands trial for murder.


In our recommendation section, our hosts nominated Silver Surfer, Atomic Robo, Rice Boy, and Ravine for discussion on the next episode, and our selected title is Ravine, Vol. 1 & 2.


Our hosts for this episode are Andrew Chard, Tobiah Panshin, Brant Gillihan-Eddy, and Kayleigh Fleeman.
