Picking up from where the previous issue’s cliffhanger left off, in THE WICKED + THE DIVINE #4 the mystery is solved. But can you guess if pop-god Lucifer likes the answer? Plus, there’s much more to Baal than meets the eye, dear reader. He has secrets you’ll want to know…
“We’ve been following Laura in her journey into the world of the Gods this arc,” said Gillen. “This takes her right to the heart of it. It’s where we’ve been heading—which immediately sets the stage for what’s next. Which is issue 5, the end of the first story, which you have to imagine we have certain special things planned for. And you’d be correct.”

Filled with steampunk-esque creatures, magical new alliances, floating dirigibles, and a nefarious mystery, Oddly’s adventure is anything but normal.
