THE WICKED + THE DIVINE CHRISTMAS ANNUAL #1 STORY: KIERON GILLEN ART: CARLA SPEED MCNEIL, CHYNNA CLUGSTON FLORES, EMMA VIECELI, KRIS ANKA, MATT WILSON, RACHAEL STOTT COVER: JAMIE MCKELVIE, MATT WILSON VARIANT COVER: KRIS ANKA DECEMBER 13 / 32 PAGES / FC / M / $3.99 JAMIE said “It’s a shame we never saw any of the gods’ early funtimes,” and KIERON said “Yeah,” and then they looked at each other, and then called all their talented friends to do a Christmas album of (mostly) fan service! Inanna and Baal getting it on! Lucifer and Sakhmet getting it on! Dionysus giving Baphomet a lift in a crappy car! And more! This one has it all. After Imperial Phase, something a little more fun. Will be almost certainly collected in the specials trade.

Okay, I'm down for it. Dion giving Baph a lift is going to be stupendous.

Solicit make the end of Imperial Phase sound very ominous. I want it now!!!!!

Poor Dio, optimist till the brain dead end. ((

Sakhmet asking Laura for honesty while laying triggered my feelings. At least Laura was brutally honest about not liking herself. And Cass asked her all the right questions that needed to be asked, but Laura as always deflects.

What was in the room? What did Daft Punk fuckboy do? It's gonna be hard waiting for the conclusion.

Fuckboy's identity was like okay, but I prefer to Woden stay faceless. But it fits with patriarchy killing the young for the sake of society or whatever bullshit.

The end was also okay, but I'm more interested in whether Ananke is revived in Minerva, and that's what the big Woden machine was supposed to do?

I didn't expect full frontal nudity, hence my shock at reading Christmas special.

Baal/Inanna was the sexiest, dug how Sakhmet was serving realness when she dumped Luci since I didn't expect it from her to use moral compass, Tara vignette was the most tragic and Luci/Amaterasu was kinda friendship dealbreaker.

This special did me good.
