The Wicked + the Divine Compendium - Paperback

by Kieron Gillen (Author), Jamie McKelvie (Artist)

"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.
