Lucifer: The Wolf beneath the Tree/Mike Carey

Lucifer: The Wolf beneath the Tree by Mike Carey; graphic novel, horror, fantasy; 160 pages

The end is near. Or at least, that seems to be the theme of this book, despite the fact that we're still several volumes away from the end of this series. God has abandoned creation, and now other pantheons are starting to feel His absence. Fenris, of Norse mythology, makes his move in this volume, vowing to bring about the end of the world on his terms. That means pitting brother against brother--in this case, Lucifer, and his brother Michael. I think we've safely left behind the volumes that can be read as stand-alones; don't try this without reading the previous books in this series!
