The Wicked + The Divine
1 November - 30 November 2016
Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead.
Welcome to The Wicked + The Divine, where gods are the ultimate pop stars.
But remember: just because you’re immortal, doesn’t mean you’re going to live forever…
Thought Bubble Festival
We are so proud to be partnering up with Thought Bubble Festival for a second time, to host an exhibition of The Wicked + The Divine by artist Jamie McKelvie and writer Kieron Gillen.
The Wicked + The Divine
The ground-breaking, multiple Eisner award nominated, contemporary fantasy comic book series has been a huge breakout hit, and has been optioned for TV. First published by Image Comics in 2014, it remains one of their most popular series.
Alongside images from The Wicked + The Divine will be pieces from McKelvie and Gillen’s cult favourite Phonogram series.
Prints – £20
Selected limited edition giclée prints were available at 25cm x 39cm for £20 each for the duration of the exhibition only.
Thought Bubble Festival
The Thought Bubble Festival is the UK’s largest event of its kind – an annual celebration of sequential art in all its forms, including everything from superhero comics to independent and small-press artists and writers.
Now in its 10th year, the festival has been extended over a full week with a jam-packed programme of events at a variety of venues across the city. Their aim is to cater to both long-time comic book fans and those who have never picked up a graphic novel before!
2016’s festival programme will run from 1st – 6th November (with selected satellite and fringe events before and after these dates), and will include free art and writing based workshops for young people and adults, a two day academic conference, talks and masterclasses led by industry professionals, and a programme of sequential art related film screenings.
Their special two day convention includes an incredible line-up of leading artists and writers, and over 300 tables showcasing the best sequential art has to offer, with creator appearances, publisher presence, and retailers. The weekend will also feature portfolio viewings and competitions, as well as a huge cosplay parade. This promises to be one of the best events of its kind in the UK, celebrating comics in style!
