As Night and the City progresses, jealously runs into greed, ambition meets deception, and one double-dealing move encounters a newly revealed double cross. Before he knows it, Harry is in over his head on any number of different fronts.
In The Wicked + the Divine #10, Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie explore the fallout of Cassandra becoming the final Pantheon member while also giving readers their first glimpse of Ragnarock, which makes Coachella look like your set at the middle school talent show. Gillen, McKelvie, and colorist Matthew Wilson lay on the tragedy while also looking into the lighter, more wondrous side of godhood. This issue is a big turning point in Laura’s personal arc as she gets to reflect and act upon the fact that she’s left out of the Pantheon, and McKelvie does little things with her facial expressions and character acting to show her feelings towards the various gods and fans.

The Wicked + the Divine #6 Written by Kieron Gillen Art by Jamie McKelvie Colors by Matthew Wilson Published by Image Comics If there is one word to describe The Wicked + the Divine #6 (WicDiv from now on) it would be: somber. The book begins in dreary Brockley, South London, and Matthew Wilson’s bright, gaudy palette has been muted …
In The Wicked + the Divine #2, Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie get down to business and start to explore the ideas of divinities as pop stars through the lens of their biggest fan Laura, the protagonist of the series and their biggest detractor, the aptly named Cassandra, a reporter and former comparative mythology student.
