Read at Nora's urging. Pretty good, especially compared to most mainstream comics, but way too gory for me. There's one scene I still remember vividly almost nine years on, and it's not a good thing. (Rating is personal, not a reflection of how much literary merit I think it has.) (

Our friend gave us the first 8 Lucifer trades for free to clear up shelf space, so at least we didn't pay for this. If you want a book where a white guy explains a Native girl's own fucking culture to her...then I guess you've come to the right place? (

Entertainingly dark... keeps the Sandman flame alive in fine form. (

One of the most underrated comic book series ever! Carey too one of my favorite characters from the Sandman series and gave him a series worthy of him. If you like anti-heroes, bastards and broken things this is the comic book for you.

At some point in the future I'll dust off my single issues (cause yes I have them all bagged and boarded), sit down for a reread and write a full on review of the whole damn series. (
