We don't know how the writing workload was shared between Hickman and Costa, but the former does not feel as involved as we would have liked. A couple of scenes do stand out as classic Hickman, including one in issue #6 that is too spoilerific to mention.īut far too often, the things that we love about Hickman's writing are sadly absent here. The writer's hand can mainly be seen in the occasional lyricism of the storytelling, particularly in the interplay between the gods, as well as the early transformation of a newsman from a coolly impartial figure to the mouthpiece of the religious revolution. The publisher is well known for having its own distinctive style, which has its detractors as well - as its continued success clearly indicates - as its fans. Hickman has displayed an easily recognisable style in both his Marvel and Image projects, but here the look and feel of the series seem more beholden to Avatar than the writer. The series focuses on their attempts to combat the divine scourge, while across the world the gods begin to turn on each other. As the world falls quickly under the sway of these beings of legend, a desperate group of scientists goes underground.
