Oh Gentle Annie, you own my heart.

Super quick: if you haven’t read these, my quickie review is: to go read them! The artwork is phenomenal and the writing is excellent.
The quickie summary: 12 gods come to Earth every 90 years taking over a mortal's body, doing miracles and being amazing within it. After two years though, they burn up the bodies, killing the host (and themselves) and leave Earth until they can come back. It's been 90 years, and now, in 2014, they're back.
^^^^ Anything past the above ^^^^ may have spoilers from the first two issues, but none from this one. You’ve been warned.
So in Issue 3, we meet The Morrigan, and those underworld gods are batshit crazy. Clearly living your life in darkness is not a good thing. They are theatrical and ultimately unhelpful to Laura as she tries to help Luci. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t them.
Laura ends up having to meet back up with Cassandra the reporter to go back over Larua’s notes with what Luci had told her (much of that information wasn’t seen in the second issue, so it was great to read about) about the gods, and who Luci thinks has framed her.
In the end, it doesn’t seem like any of the gods would have framed her, but it’s a clusterfuck of a mess right now, and I’m sure we’ll be meeting the big bad of this story soon.
Luci is still by far my favorite god, and I’m really liking Laura as the main human we follow in this story. Sure, she’s got the teenage angst thing going on for her, but it’s working for her right now. I'll be sure to let you know when it gets annoying.
But as of now, still loving this story! 5/5 stars. Cannot wait to meet the other gods, but I think I want to avoid The Morrigan for a little while.
I would definitely recommend this as a story to try out if you haven't read comics before. I think it's great, but it's been really easy to follow, and since it's new, you can definitely get the first 3 issues right now.
