The premise of this one is pretty classic - taking revenge on Gods.
The art is nice, but at some points it was hard to follow. Some of the characters seemed to bleed together and jumping between chapters did not help. It just felt a bit rushed, I needed more explanation, a bit more world and character building.
It has a good base, just needs some more substance.
