My Cultural Diet

When God suddenly falls dead from heaven and his body hits the ground, it sends shockwaves, both literal and figurative, across the war-torn world of Kerethim. Soon, everyone is laying claim to the divine corpse and any secrets — and wealth — that it might contain. Cast into this newly godless world is Zanzi Vuiline, a bloodthirsty soldier who simply wants to return to her home and family, even if that means traveling inside and through God’s own body. Make no mistake, Godfell has an intriguing premise, though it doesn’t get nearly as philosophical or theological as you might think. Instead, writer Chris Sebela (Captain Marvel, High Crimes, Injustice Ground Zero) focuses mainly on the (extremely) bloody action as Vuiline and her unlikely companion carve a swathe through the various factions vying for control over God’s body. Godfell is never not entertaining, but don’t be surprised if you end the book thinking that it could’ve been more interesting than it was.
