Divinity II #3 variant cover by Carmen Carnero
DIVINITY II is a satisfying time travel thriller. I love a good time travel tale and this series from Valiant takes us to some very interesting places. You can well imagine that if Vladimir Putin was ruling over the only superpower on the planet that he’d be quite alright with that. A chilling thought but just the right frame of mind to enjoy this comic. Great script by Matt Kindt and a very kinetic style to the artwork by Trevor Hairsine.
A whisper in Gorby’s ear.
We have one rogue character, cosmonaut Myshka, with the potential to shift the balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union that she so dearly misses. Hey, you learn quick that changing history is not exactly a piece of cake. You can’t just whisper into a world leader’s ear, suggest a change of course, and then expect to de-wrinkle a moment in time. Just not gonna happen. Of course, you need a very persistent sort to keep trying and that’s our Myshka. She’s set to give pep talks to everyone from Stalin to Gorbachev. Stay resolute, dudes, Communism is here to stay!
Fun stuff! We’ve seen way too many time travel tales about killing Hitler and saving JFK. That said, I wouldn’t mind a whole series, at least a one-shot issue, dedicated to Jeb Bush going back in time to kill baby Hitler. You remember Jeb Bush, right? Oh, how time flies!
Awesome variant cover by Carmen Carnero.
DIVINITY II #3 is available as of June 22nd. For more details, visit Valiant Entertainment right here.
Another rather esoteric offering. I like being able to find out about graphic novels with which I am unfamiliar.
There is so much out there! But, I should mention, that the creative team is high profile. And Valiant is one of the best and biggest comics publishers. So, I’d say it is intentionally meant to come across as arcane but a lot of folks love it.
I’ve been meaning to crack into Valiant some more (loved Doctor Mirage) and this looks like a comic I would love. thanks!
Yes, a lot of interesting things going on at Valiant. Nice see such talent as Matt Kindt and Jeff Lemire.
