Lucifer: Inferno/Mike Carey

Lucifer: Inferno by Mike Carey (Lucifer, vol 5); graphic novel, horror, fantasy; 168 pages

Lucifer's rise to power takes a dramatic turn in this volume, where he finally faces off against the unfallen angel who leads gods armies. Our protagonist still isn't fully recovered from his last battle, and he is forced to rely on trickery to find victory--but of course, trickery is what he does best.

I enjoyed this as much as the other volumes, but it didn't feel like a standalone story as much as the others did. There are some good smaller stories here, but most of them rely pretty heavily on previous volumes to make sense of them, so I strongly recommend reading this series in order.
