F(r)iction #23: Gods
$25.00
In these pages, K-Ming Chang teaches us about forgotten gods, what they represented and where they’ve gone. You’ll join a literal goddess on a series of bad dates and witness a worker who helps the dead resolve their last business on Earth. We’ve got a story of a man of faith confronting death and questioning God, and even some heartfelt creative nonfiction about accepting one’s imperfections in the face of godly perfection. Plus, our Gods issue features a can’t-miss comic by Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Immortal X-Men, and Once & Future), an interview with Lev Grossman (The Magicians, The Bright Sword), a Community Feature with Stain’d Arts, and a very special comic from a justice-impacted student in our Frames Comic Education Program!
The Gods issue takes many shapes and forms (perhaps a bull or maybe a swan?) and explores our relationships to God, gods, godliness, and faith through unique, strange, and oft-underrepresented lenses. Join us to confront the infinite, in spirit or in space…
