Notes:
(1) Despite some ambiguity at the end of the last book, I'm guessing that the murder mystery continues on.
- I do hope it does more to flesh out the characters with some historical/theological context.
(2) Now that I've got the concept down and a familiarity with the major characters, I'd expect this volume (and the rest of the series for that matter) to go smoother.

Notes:
(1) The last two issues are interesting because they transition the series from one storyline to another.
- The murder mystery that kicked everything off is seemingly tied up, albeit a bit too conveniently.
- What we have now is a kind of puppet master storyline, where everything, including the aforementioned murder mystery, appears to be part of some greater scheme.

Notes:
(1) The middle two issues act as a kind of interlude, each introducing and focusing on one of the final two gods: Dionysus and the Norns.
- With Dionysus, the whole issue's just one drug-fueled rave, wherein the drug is Dionysus himself (or whatever spell he's cast).
- With the Norns, you get three gods for one, as opposed to the Morrigan, which is three gods in one.

Notes:
(1) So far, this has used a lot of unconventional page layouts.
- An annotated diagram, a building map, an event flyer, a dollhouse cutaway, etc.
(2) It's interesting how Gillen uses "Asian" in the North American context of East Asian, and not his native British/Irish context of South Asian.
- Might be he didn't want to risk confusing his primarily-American audience.
