We’re celebrating Image Comics‘ 25th anniversary all this week by breaking down the company’s all-time best 25 series. With so much diversity in its catalog, Image truly has comics for everyone. Check them out for yourself! And leave some of your own favorites in the comments.
This celebration was originally published as a five-part series, but has been consolidated here for your convenience. Thanks to writers Tony Wendel, Nick Enquist, Wes Messer, and Manny Gomez (who thought of and organized this project).
19. The Wicked + The Divine
“Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead.” But in those two years, The Pantheon live as royalty…in a sense. They’re pop stars, complete with hoards of fans that follow their every move. As the story progresses, a series of deaths, secrets, and betrayals throw The Pantheon’s world into disarray. Wic+Div is not only excellent fantasy, but it’s a smart breakdown of celebrity culture. And Jamie McKelvie’s art is simply stunning.
