The Wicked + The Divine Vol. 3

Commercial Suicide - Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie

*Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

After the shocking last issue, this volume concentrates more on some of the original gods/goddesses providing some back story as to who they were before being chosen. We also find out who has been taking out the gods and it's a shock to see who it is although there is no explanation as yet as to why they are doing it.

I miss the main character, Laura, without her it feels a bit more like a bunch of short stories instead of something cohesive. The main issue I have with this volume is the artwork, after two breaktaking volumes of stunning art this volume falls pretty flat. Six guest artists were used to put their own spin on the series and it is just to different and therefore jarring with each volume having a totally different art style. It's not that it's all bad it's just that it lacks any sort of consistency and I hate inconsistent artwork. I just wish the original artist had been used for this volume, reading some of the other reviews for this it's a huge issue for many that the art is so different.

Let's hope volume 4 is back to the standards of volumes 1 & 2.
