‘I heard “Hey beautiful! Hey goddess!” turn into “I’m going to rape you, bitch” enough times to know that the former is just the latter with a bow on it.“ - Tara

Wicked & Divine #13 pulls no punches in its criticisms of rape culture and media & public treatment of female celebrities, cyber bullying, etc.

It’s a tough read, it’s full of hurt - the hurt that real people, real women, have felt at the hands of anonymous masses online. It might be fiction, but this issue is very much a mirror to grim reality. And it’s sad, it’s really sad. But it’s handled well. Really well.

On a lighter note, The Wicked and the Divine also continues to effortlessly be the most diverse comic in terms of representation that I’ve had the pleasure to read. It’s almost as if portraying people who aren’t cishet white men is actually pretty easy. Who knew?
