Lucifer: Morningstar/Mike Carey

Lucifer: Morningstar by Mike Carey (Lucifer, vol 10); graphic novel, horror, fantasy; 192 pages

This is the culmination of the last few volumes: Lilith and her army of demonspawn make their move on Heaven, while Fenris the Wolf aims to end creation once and for all by destroying God's recently vacated throne. Lucifer, Elaine, and Mazikeen, former war leader of Lilith's brood, fight to stop them and save creation.

This has a more coherent story than the last few volumes I've read, but I have to wonder where Carey is going to take things in the final volume. This seemed to tie up a lot of loose ends, kill off a lot of characters, and pretty much wrap up the series. We'll see where we go from here.

  1. It helps if you know your Norse mythology. The series kind of reminded me of Ultimate Thor meets American Gods in that respect.
