Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie · 2025 · 1448 pages
“The Wicked + The Divine is about art, creativity and living to the fullest, but mainly about death.” —USA Today
The critically acclaimed, compulsively page-turning, urban fantasy series returns in its definitive edition, collecting the complete story in one binge-ready volume.
Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead.
A world where gods are the ultimate pop stars and pop stars are the ultimate gods. But remember: just because you’re immortal, doesn’t mean you’re going to live forever.
The critical and commercial smash by the team behind Young Avengers and PHONOGRAM has its entire story collected in this single volume.

“This is a newer book that I’m really into. It reminds me of Sandman in that it’s about this pantheon of gods. But the team that makes the book have been able to capture music in a way that comic books have never really managed. The same guys used to do this book called Phonogram in which the concept was that music is magic. They are still the only people I have ever read in a comic who have accurately portrayed what it feels like to be performing. They get that immortal, borderline godlike feeling you get from being onstage.”↗
