Kieron Gillen (writer), Jamie McKelvie (pencils/inks), Matt Wilson (colorist) and Clayton Cowles' (letterer) The Wicked + The Divine (plus stylization theirs) set a lot of internal bars for me when I read it as a teen. Its splashy depiction of modern magic megastar debauchery is what I imagine when I imagine early-Earth C gods in their popstar eras. Its consistent on-page depiction of the neverending coin flip of glory and despair helped sketch out my internal metric for the breadth between dreams and reality. Jamie McKelvie's career-defining work here (married to Wilson's jaw-dropping colours) is one of those things that just is the 2010s for me.

I found this one when I thought I was much too grown up for silly old Homestuck (💀), but they've got throughlines that run too parallel to dismiss. A set of kids plucked from the masses: loved, hated, sacrificial. The world's at their feet and they're at each others' throats. They burn bright, burn out, and the universe dances under the fireworks. Consider this the Britpop sleeper sister to That Webcomic's certified smash.

Also, I drew Laura and Lucifer (as in the blonde bi devil) as My Little Ponies and Gillen reblogged them to his Tumblr, which should be all the reassurance you need on the excellence of his taste.
