"Every ninety years, twelve gods return as young people. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are all dead. It's happening now. It's happening again"--Page 4 of cover.
The gods are free to do whatever they want. Inevitably, they do. Collects issues 23-28 of the series, including the critically lauded Kevin Wada magazine issue.
Strong beginning, intriguing ending, weird middle.
Pace of the story has picked-up again. More of the "ancient" history makes sense. They really landed the emotionally challenging arc for Laura creator god/creating a child not being ready.
One of the best treatments of a Laura story I have read.
