brave little spark

ID: Four large animated banners using panels and art from The Wicked + The Divine.

1: Three silhouettes standing on a shadowy mountain of bodies against a sketchy pink and purple sky, holding weapons in their hands. A circle of twelve symbols, each representing a god or goddess, hovers in the air in front of them. The icons rotate randomly through skulls, blank circles, and the symbols themselves.

2: A young black woman sits and stares at her cigarette. She snaps her fingers, making a "KLLK" sound. The cigarette lights itself. Her face shifts to surprise. Shadows creep in from the outer edges, until only the light of the cigarette lights her face.

3: A stadium drawn in a pink and purple gradient. In the upper left corner, a pair of fingers snap and make the same "KLLK" sound. Over a series of five panels, the stadium explodes into a bright white light. A shadowy inhuman figure is burnt up in the explosion. When it fades, a burnt husk of the same cityscape is left behind.

4: Ten narrow rectangles frame profiles of different individuals. They rotate through three phases: Black and white; a purple gradient; and fully colored. The colors move across the page in waves. Behind them is a night sky, lit up with pink outlines of constellations.

ID: Five edited panels of Laura (Persephone) from The Wicked + The Divine comics.

1: Persephone is suspended mid-air from her glowing blue vines. She’s arched in a C shape in front of a background of pink flowers.

2: Persephone stands in a hooded jacket with her arms thrown outward. Blue text appears in front of her: “Laura.” The letters then shuffle randomly and change to “Persephone.” The letters shuffle a third time and change to “The Destroyer.”

3: A background with a black, pink and white radial gradient, covered fully with the story of Persephone’s creation. Laura, dressed in her Amaterasu costume, stands off to the left side. She fades, and a second image of her appears slightly to the right with a curly undercut and a green jacket. That image fades to gray and a third appears of her in her initial Persephone costume, with the colorful streak in her combed-over hair and a red triangle drawn over one eye. The third image fades to gray and a fourth appears fully to the right side, showing Persephone with her hand held up and her jacket splayed out. She has white skulls in place of her pupils.

4: Persephone, in distorted white and black with blue accents. She lights a cigarette. Three circles with skulls in the center hover in front of her.

5: Laura, with a shaved head, stands with her mouth open and her arms outstretched. Her blue vines spread out from behind her, backlit by pink. Text on either side of her head reads: “I am a God.” The image flashes, turning the vines black and white. The word “Not” appears over Laura’s eyes, on top of a black scribbled stripe.
