Ram V Talks Deicidium
Last week, I got to chat with Ram V, writer of beloved books such as The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Detective Comics, These Savage Shores, and the newly released Deicidium. The last time I got to chat with Ram was two years ago, so it was good to catch up and talk about a variety of subjects, such as Deicidium and adaptations of his work, since The Many Deaths of Laila Starr was announced as an opera.
You can read our review of Deicidium here.

About Deicidium
In a future rebuilt from the ashes of war, belief is no longer sacred—it’s monetized.
Humanity has entered a hard-won age of stability, governed by an unholy alliance between global corporations and newly engineered religions. Worship fuels the economy. Faith is power. Salvation is a product. Welcome to the industry of belief. That fragile balance shatters when the old gods return. Ancient deities of fire, wind, jaguars, love, war, and mischief awaken inside ordinary people, transforming neighbors and strangers into living gods. To the powers that be, they aren’t miracles—they’re threats.
The great faiths of the new world knew the old gods could one day return, and they planned for such an eventuality. 12 orphans were chosen, bestowed with gifts and taught to be faithless, loveless instruments without reward or remorse. The old gods have returned—and the 12 will be unleashed.
As old myths collide with a world built on manufactured faith, a brutal conflict ignites—one that will decide who controls humanity’s future, and whether salvation comes from those placed above us…or from within us. DEICIDIUM is a global epic series from the multi-award-winning collaborations of RAM V, EVAN CAGLE, ANAND RADHAKRISHNAN with TOM MULLER, ADITYA BIDIKAR and more.
