THE WICKED + THE DIVINE writer KIERON GILLEN teams up with artist supernova STEPHANIE HANS (WicDiv, Journey Into Mystery) for her first ongoing comic. DIE is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning, unearthly horror they only just survived as teenage role-players. If Kieron's in a rush, he describes it as ""Goth Jumanji"", but that's only the tip of this obsidian iceberg.

Review of 'Die Volume 1' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Gillen's musing on the impact of role playing games and the mythic structures behind them came to a conclusion. As usual I don't review comics series until they are concluded so this is a review of the whole series. Goodreads doesn't seem to support listing the whole
I totally enjoyed this as it was well in my wheelhouse. It was a little flabby in the middle, I thought, hence the 4 star rating.
It is a mournful piece with a very dark tone. The artist conveyed this well and was consistently excellent throughout.
A definite recommend for this series.
