He made Duma speak. That's just plain wrong. Having said that, I do have a weakness for the court of Arux in Effrul. This was good fun. ( )

This just gets better and better. I adore the idea of a hell themed along the lines of 18th century Europe; lots of echoes of de Sade and pre-Revolution France and things of that nature. Lucifer's Creation is fascinating and twisted and many kinds of wrong. His creation of Adam and Eve, his commands to them not to worship him, the ways in which it doesn't (or does?) work, free will... what I love about this is that it is a series which, like Sandman, makes you think. I'm really intrigued to see where they are going to take this, and what they are going to do with the storyline involving Mazikeen. I'm also anticipating major fireworks involving Elaine; since, well, let's face it, if you're the daughter of the Archangel Michael, things are bound to happen to you.

The third book in the Lucifer series continues with the same level of quality as the previous books. The main story does not go that much further this time out, though.

I liked best the parts which continue the main story arc, which I have found to be among the best in current comics. My favorite was a short passage where Lucifer creates his own Eden with his own Adam and Eve. As you might guess, things do not go in the same way as in the Genesis... ( )

The first three issues, the Tryptych, are on a par with the rest of Lucifer. The three issues of Dalliance with the Damned, however, comprise my least favorite storyline. Not that it's poorly written, it's just that it centers on demons and sinners in Hell and those are least interesting to me. The demonic obsession with impersonating European feudalism is a bit much, as well. Luckily, the story has interesting repercussions later down the line. ( )
