The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 1: The Faust Act

This was all flash without much depth. In other words—the art was gorgeous, but the story was just MEH... They could have done so much with the basic premise but the characters all ended up being caricatures without much personality. Such a shame really, considering all the possibilities the writer could have explored with the awesome concept, like the various mythologies and back-stories of the gods introduced in the volume. I guess I just did not expect it to be a whodunnit mystery with an unsatisfying resolution. It did not help that we were following the story through the eyes of a vapid fangirl who wants her own slice of fame by playing mediator among the gods. This is the first disappointing Image title I've read, but I guess not everything lives up to the hype.
