Posted by Seb Patrick at 10:12 on 07 Aug 2015

It's filled with incredibly striking imagery - and although the soft pencil lines look like no actual comic ever published (I've often wondered if the woman was actually meant to be the artist herself, looking at a rough draft of her own work), it's sort of surprising that in the thirty years since it was made, there hasn't been a single comic that's gone "Hey, this is an iconic pop culture image that plays with our form, we should try and make use of it somehow!"
Fortunately, Phonogram is back.

At least, that's what they tell us. But I think they mean it this time. They'd better.
You will be hearing from us a lot about this subject this year. Sorry.

The Wicked + The Divine: Overemotional Investment
Posted by Abigail Brady at 22:10 on 17 Sep 2014

Earlier this year I said that I couldn't write about Young Avengers because it was too personal, too close to me, that it would be too much like exposing myself. The Wicked + The Divine is also too personal, but that's exactly why I need to write about it.

"David Bowie Saved My Life": Kieron Gillen on The Wicked + The Divine
Posted by Seb Patrick at 13:05 on 20 May 2014

I'm talking to Kieron - or, rather, he's talking to me - because he's got a new comic on the way: The Wicked + The Divine, his latest co-conspiracy with Phonogram artist Jamie McKelvie and their regular colourist Matt Wilson. A creator-owned ongoing at Image, it launches in the middle of June, and it's very likely that it'll be one of the most talked-about comics of the year. Maybe even by people who aren't Kieron.
