Such an interesting issue!!! I LOVED the dialogue here, the art was gorgeous, and the floor finally seems to be picking up- though the build-up prior to it was absolutely necessary. I’m super excited to see where this goes!

Convoluted but getting to the point. Loving the mini so far.

So far the best of the series. This one feels like the start of the actual story, but still has that Hickman style of bringing in several different threads to tell the story. Reminds me of Stephen King a bit. Which is fine, but in the comic format it can feel a bit more rushed. There are occasionally characters that are introduced and are very important, but don't feel like they get their due. Kind of Dues Ex characters.

Decent Sci fi read.

G.O.D.S has some cool worldbuilding, but it's harder to get a grasp on its characters. Although each issue gives you more to chew on.

This story has 3 different plot that's come together by the end. Its a cliffhanger and I'm curious how it wraps up next month.

I'm really enjoying this series, as I do most Hickman-penned comic books. I am looking forward to the resolution of this story, though maybe it is setting up future stories, as many series seem to be these days. Hickman's X-Men work set up a new status quo. The art is very good, too, and I like the detail in it. Reminds me a lot of Pepe Larraz, who I like a lot. Recommended for fans of Hickman and detailed comic book pencils and inks.

Me alegran las aproximaciones al horror cósmico que se dejan caer en este número... Pero tampoco me compensa la narración over the top Hickmaniana (que ahora sé que tienen límite de extensión en 5 entregas más).

Foresight and simple conversation

I love the blend of foresight and the interesting steady pace of simple conversation as things ramp up! Can’t wait for the next issue!
