i think lucifer's really good. i'm a bit peeved about the inconsistency of the artwork, the way some issues seem to be just compiled of filler pages from half a dozen artist varying in quality from great to shite, but the story's holding its own. I've also started reading Milton's Paradise Lost, and if you like the angle Carey's taken on Satan, Milton's angle's quite likely his main inspiration. Worth checking out. There's a version at Project Gutenberg available for downloading.
what I'm hoping for the series, and it doesn't seem unreasonable, is that current events aren't leading up to an end so much as another beginning, and that the story keeps going from there. Time will tell. I still fear that this one'll be canceled due to sales before Carey gets to tell the whole story, but that might be because every time I find an impeccably written series published by one of the majors, it sells badly and the company pulls the plug themselves. Fingers crossed.
I did a review of the first trade for PopImage, which I'm continually floggin on Barb, so to maintain tradition, here's that link again:
