Customer Reviews

This series just keeps getting better
This story follows straight on from Volume 5 and contains contains the five issue Naglfar story and the epilogue, "Sisters of Mercy".
I would recommend reading the books in sequence. While it is not essential, it will enhance the pleasure and explain some of the more complex inter-relationships.

In this volume, Lucifer sends a mystical ship (the Naglfar), crewed with supporting characters, on a quest to find the soul of a half-human/half-angel girl that is trapped in a horrible place between heaven and hell.

Careys writing is well paced and captivating and the artwork by Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly and Dean Ormiston is perfectly suited to the tale. The epilogue, with art by Davih Hahn, isn't so good but is an ok addendum.

If you liked Neil Gaiman's Sandman, I can't believe you aren't reading this already, but if you aren't start now.
You won't be disappointed.

Okay, but...
The problem here is that the main character is by far the most interesting part of this story, and in this volume he spends most of the time off-screen or involved in obscure discussions with his brother Michael.

The series seems to have lost a bit of momentum since the end of volume 4 and the defeat of the Basanos... hopefully things will pick up following the incredible revelation at the end of this book.

Lucifer 06
Along with all the Lucifer series. If you enjoyed the Sandman series, this is a must read.
