The premise behind this volume is that the power of the “new” gods is getting out of hand and uncontrollable. They turn on each other and several die. As they vie for supremacy, the rest of the world pays the price. It all centres around Persephone.

With bloody scenes and some sexual ones, this volume delivers and it's still confusing at times but the artwork is excellent and well-executed. The volume ends with the obvious consequence that there is more to come. It's entertaining stuff and I've read enough to want to know how this is all going to finish but they should get a move on!

Laura is obsessed with these pop stars who happen to be Gods reincarnated. The Gods come back every 90 years but do not hang around for long because they tend to die young. Some people love the Gods others think they are a nuisance or fraud. There is a murder, Lucifer aka Luci is framed and sent to jail. Laura tries to help her by talking to the other Gods and asking for help.

I find many of image comics have beautiful art and this one is no different. Although I will say this the art reminds me a little of the original Jem And The Holograms cartoon which is a good thing to me because I loved it back in the day. The story has some holes and still needs a lot of explaining especially all background of the Gods.

Many people say the writing was hard to follow. There was only one part that was hard to follow for me which was in the beginning when Laura was talking to the reporter about Luci. I couldn’t tell if the reporter was interviewing Luci from jail or the answers were coming from a flashback from Laura’s conversation with Luci. So yes there is some confusion at times but did not stop me from really liking this graphic novel’s beginning.

I had never really heard about this series before hand it was the cover that caught me. Now that I have read it I can’t wait to look for the second volume next visit to the bookstore.

The “new gods” spend a lot of time jostling for position and arguing. There's a lot of talk particularly from Cassandra as they seek a suitable response to the Great Darkness. Many are incredibly self-centred and ignore the others.

Still confusing but the artwork is excellent and well-executed. The volume ends with the obvious consequence that there is more to come, especially as some of the gods near the end of their two-year lives. It's entertaining stuff and I've read enough to want to know how this is all going to finish.

The gods gather and some of them look for justice for the death of some of their number. More are killed and they continue to manipulate those around them, resulting in open aggression between various factions. Death, blood and guts ensue. They are an unsympathetic bunch, obsessed with themselves and their rivalries. Still confusing but the artwork is back to normal after Volume 3.The volume ends with a climax which makes me believe that there may not be any more volumes. It is important to know when to stop.

The gods gather and some of them look for justice for the death of some of their number. More are killed and they continue to manipulate those around them. They are an unsympathetic bunch, obsessed with themselves and their rivalries. Still confusing and with too much writing to read, I'm not sure that this series is really getting anywhere and the artwork is no longer as good as it was.

The volume ends on a cliffhanger so there's evidently more to come.
