The Kingdom of the Gods

Product Information

Lee Chang devises a plan to lure all the zombies onto the frozen pond in the rear garden and then break the surface of the ice, causing everyone to be plunged into the water. Sure, the AMC series waxes on about class and elitism, but Kingdom wades deep into governance and the divide between the rulers and the suffering populace. As a result, the first two seasons, which were originally planned to have eight episodes each, were shortened to six episodes.

In the midst of that, there is the outbreak of the zombies and an elite ninja group attempting to assassinate the prince once and for all. Although an entire mess, this second plotline is all about magic ans supernatural things and was a lot more captivating. She added that the political environment drives many of the decisions, and propels the actions of characters in their journey, highlighting that "If we go deeper and deeper, it all boils down to politics. And you really get a sense of the state of Joseon through all the little touches, from ghoulish statues to even the smallest facial movements.Of course, a two-season political drama is always going to take a story further than a short graphic novel, but there is the feeling The Kingdom of the Gods could have made better use of its time. Especially as The Kingdom of the Gods was originally a web-comic and therefore is in manhwa format, meaning that there is very little text.

I really like Sieh as a character, have liked him since The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, but I was expecting Jemisin to continue the pattern established by the first two novels and get a female narrator to tell the story (in this case, Shahar, since she is mentioned in the book blurb). The royal contingent reaches Lord Hak-ju's camp and raids it in the night, only to fall into a trap set by Lord Hak-ju. From the clouds in the sky to Jae-ha’s battles with the assassins to a horde of the living dead rushing after its prey, Kyung-il Yang’s art is what stands out from The Kingdom of the Gods. She's strong, capable, and completely determined to help people no matter the personal risk or cost. Nell’antichità, Giappone e Corea mandavano i criminali efferati in una colonia penale chiamata «Kyokudo», situata in un’isola nel tratto di mare che separa le due nazioni.But along the way, they discover that the people are starving and now coming back from the dead as well.
