I wanted to like God Complex more than I did but by no means was it bad. The story of Apollo giving up being a god to live with mortals was great and imaginative I just never felt fully engaged with the story. Part of that might have to do with the artwork which was lovely but didn't help the story of me. Although I would like to know how the story continues it isn't something I'll seek out, just something I'll be happy if I come across in the future by chance.

Better in theory than in practice; Apollo gives up his godhood not to simply "live amongst mortals" as is the usual M.O. of these things, but because there is an insidious something afoot and other gods and godlings lined up against him, conspiring. Placed in a world of superheroes, people sort of buy into his existence as a local hero. Nothing very new here, though; mortal friends who inspire but are constantly in danger, a mysterious man/god from the East, a throwaway African character that really disappointed me, and a subway battle with a monster. So - fun, but not original, and in the execution, somewhat stitched-together & jangly feeling. Perhaps subsequent chapters of this would clear up, resolve, or justify, but I'm not at all sure that I'd seek them out.
