Created by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, and published by Image Comics, The Wicked + The Divine is a contemporary fantasy comic book series that follows a young teenage girl, Laura, as she interacts with the Pantheon, a group of twelve people who discover that they are reincarnated deities.
It is said that each cycle of The Pantheon will not live past two years from the start of the series and that every 90 years the Pantheon is reincarnated. This cycle is known as the Recurrence. But remember: just because you’re immortal, doesn’t mean you’re going to live forever.
The Wicked + The Divine Reading Order:
The Wicked + The Divine (WicDiv) has a number of Specials published during the run of the series, released between the main arcs. As explained at the beginning of the eight trades by the creators, they were released in an order which was aimed to juxtapose with the just-released single issues, to introduce a concept in the arc in the story.
They also can be read chronologically (as in the collected editions), where they’ve been rearranged chronologically, which highlights their connective elements as a narrative.
You can choose the order you prefer.
