G.O.D.S. #8

G.O.D.S. #8 is an apt ending for its main character, Wyn, as the series closes the door on an idea machine that expanded our minds in the realms of science and magic. Whether you found it too confusing, or not as satisfying as Marvel seemed to promise, you can't deny it has added to the conversation of Marvel cosmic. Read Full Review

I expect that G.O.D.S. was not what many readers anticipated from a Jonathan Hickman penned comic featuring such a title, but the intimate romance and character portraits set against a backdrop of apocalyptic eons has been one of Marvel's most charming comics in years. Read Full Review

G.O.D.S. #8 brings the pseudo miniseries to a close by sending Wyn on a trip down memory lane to visit different points in his life, including the fallout from his battle with the In-Betweener (which we never see). Hickman proves he's still the most creative world-builder on Marvel's team, but readers looking for an actual story will only find unsatisfying snippets of scenes and ideas that could be developed into something more in the future.

Plot Wyn is in the future, witnessing another victory for the TNOOT and TPTB, but begins to doubt his service to the G.O.D.S, especially since Aiko also begins to regret this life and all the sacrifices he has made. Wyn tries to rescue Dimitri, but is unsuccessful. He also discovers that In-Betweener has his future prepared for him and is full of pain. The comic shows how Wyn analyzes his life and actions and how he asks his mentors for advice, so he decides to go to his wedding day with Aiko, where he is going to make a decision that his first mentor grants him, to use his skills for a common good or helping all those around you with a simpler life....the end is left open. It occurs at multiple moments in time at once. This li mited series nourished the cosmic universe, which leaves us with many interesting characters that we hope will continue to develop in the future. This closes the first introductory story arc. Art Full of details that are elevated to another level of quality with different textures, where they show a universe of places, beings, designs that are as overwhelming as they are amazing. Summary Wyn tries to figure out how to fix a lifetime of tragedies around him. more

Jonathan Hickman is without a doubt the most ambitious writer in comics who also has the skill to make his big, bold ideas work. It's dense, heady stuff, but it's always well worth your time and money. Valerio Schiti's art is absolutely stunning throughout this whole series. It gave me something beautiful to stare at while I tried to wrap my mind around the concepts Hickman was laying down, which made each issue of G.O.D.S. a long read, but a deeply satisfying one. I will definitely be revisiting this story multiple times in the future. Another masterpiece for the comic industry's current most talented writer.

I already know I'm gonna reread this someday...I don't feel like I was fully able to grasp what was going on in the first few issues. That said, this was an absolutely phenomenal reading experience. Jonathan Hickman never ceases to amaze and impress. Honestly, this series could've been 50 issues long or more. There was so much potential with this story it's almost a shame that it has to be over so soon...I just feel like I was really starting to care about Wyn, Aiko and Dmitri, and then suddenly I have to say goodbye. But at the same time, this ending was utter perfection, so I guess I can't be too mad.

I loved how Hickman brought back the story to Aiko and Wyn at the very end. Yes, there's an ever-expanding universe with cosmic beings, gods, the powers that be and the natural order of things but... there's these 2 Avatars that are mortal and indispensable like you and me. Aiko and Wyn shared a story and love for each other that was interrupted by the immeasurable weight of responsibility put on their shoulders, the responsibility of saving the universe. Wyn long for Aiko all that time, at least he got some reassurance from the Powers that be herself, she could've have picked anyone else to be her Avatar, but they would not have been up to the task like Wyn was. The war with the In-Betweener should be explore in the future preferably by Hickman but if not, I'll take anyone brave enough to fill in that gap for us. Also, making everyone feel pity for Wyn for the rest of his life was an insane choice for revenge by the In-Betweener. Specially such macabre way to go about it. I will keep this series in my personal collection to give it another reads in the future and possibly even cover it on my YouTube Channel. (once I'm confident I fully understand it better lol) I highly recommend this series for fans of the cosmic side of Marvel. more

The vast majority of this series went right over my head, I got the main idea but the details escaped me. That's true for this issue too. I get that he was told by the love of his life that if she could do it again she'd go with him instead of her organization. Then he does some time tripping and ends up back on their wedding day and (as I'm translating the final page) decides to take the happy road. I suppose that's all that's important, and I did enjoy this series for sure. Especially the art, it was magnificent. Especially the depictions of Wyn's master and especially especially the big red robes and multiple white glowing arms. Those panels were jaw dropping. Hickman is a writer that even when I don't really understand e verything that's going on, I still enjoy it. I probably won't remember much about this series other than the fact that I mostly enjoyed it heh. more
