kevinwada: wicdiv: THE WICKED + THE DIVINE ISSUE 23 Basically, it’s our Kevin Wada issue, and our solution to the problem of “how to do an issue with an artist who famously doesn’t do sequentials.” Our answer is to do the whole issue as an in-world magazine, with the content mainly being interviews with the gods. It’s very much pushing the story forward as much as any issue of WicDiv, and astoundingly beautiful. If you are a fan of Kevin, you’re going to adore it. All the articles are actually written by real world culture journalists and critics. Kieron did a chat-roleplay with each of them to generate a transcript, which they then turned into totally convincing articles. The kind writers who agreed are Leigh Alexander, Dorian Lynskey, Mary Choi, Laurie Penny and Ezekiel Kweku who are all truly excellent writers. It’s also the first issue of a new arc, following directly on from the fourth trade (RISING ACTION) which just dropped this week. Oh, and the rest of IMPERIAL PHASE (Part 1) is a traditional GillenMcKelvieWilson comic. I’m so proud of this issue - the boys took a risk on me and I think we pulled off some magic. It’s an honor to get to contribute to such a fabulous series (and one of the few comics I follow religiously) and though it’s not a traditional comic, I am so excited I get to say I’ve completed an official comic issue. No, you won’t be seeing sequential imagery up in here, but you will get some thoughtful insight to some of your favorite (and not so favorite) characters as well as editorial extravaganzas left and right. It’s sincere, it’s cheeky, it’s meta, it’s a bit of fan service and a bit of world building. We really hope you like it! Everyone involved did such an amazing job. Oh and Jamie and Matt absolutely killed their adverts. -- source link
