Yeah, I'm definitely looking to reading this one, Shark  You recognise Rachel Begai? From the original Lucifer mini that predated the ongoing? Now THAT's what I call plotting ahead |

I actually hadn't read the first look, but I do remember Rachel. She's the one that killed her brother by wishing he was dead, right? And that is great plotting ahead, goes to show why I love Mike Carey's writing so much.  -SHARK DIGGLER |

Yep, that's the one. And Sandalphon is the fallen angel who had imprisoned Michael in order to breed Archangels. Now, it seems, we are finding out what THAT was all about... I LOVE the way the larger story has been built throughout |

Overall, it's still building in an interesting direction. In the short term... well, I'd like to see Jill Presto run over by a large bus. I honestly can't stand her. Carey did something clever this issue on a plot level. But I think it'd have more impact on me if I found her character even remotely sympathetic. I know Jill has to be the focus just because the Basanos plot needs resolution. Still, I find Lucifer a lot less appealing when she's around. Not only is she not interesting, she is just not that likable. On the other hand... mercifully, I think Lucifer and Elaine will be back in the spotlight by next issue. Carey's usually at his strongest with them and Rudd. Once that happens, I think Lucifer will be back up on the top of my list again. |

This books has been so dissapointing since issue 50, I hope it finally gets good again in the last year.

A good issue, I thought, but not a great issue. It's mainly setup. Of course, the real fun should now start to happen now that Elaine & Lucifer are back |

I really liked this issue. I don't hate Jill Presto like some of you do, I actually don't mind her, but I really liked the interaction with her and her unborn daughter, good stuff. It was nice to see Lucifer and Elaine back at the end of this issue. I can't wait until they come face to face with Lilith and her two armies, should be great. Colleen Doran will be doing the art next issue, then we start the six-part "Morningstar" arc. -SHARK DIGGLER |

Yeah, Shark, I'm looking forward to that one. Lucifer, Elaine, and Rudd should equal a good comic. The Doran issue should be well done. I've always liked her work. I actually sympathize far more with Noema than I do with Jill. It's hard to blame her for wanting to be born and be loved by her mother. The circumstances of her birth were beyond her control. Which is a lot more than I can say for Jill... I'm sure Carey will deliver the goods soon, though. |

Oh, dilemma... Christopher Rudd has a real problem on his hands with this one... I wonder what he'll decide? And if he and lady Lys will ever be reconciled? I love the whole grand tragedy of their almost-romance...
And with Fenris back on the scene, surely it's all downhill from here...

Wait, Morningstar is a 6-parter. That's what I thought it was before I read the first look and they said it was a 3-banger. Anyway, that makes it better. I've always liked the longer arcs on Lucifer. -SHARK DIGGLER

Yeah, the epics rule I'm glad to see Lucifer come right out and say he intends to put Elaine on the throne... I'm wondering if Rudd might end up claiming it instead, though? Elaine is the expected candidate, and with Carey that usually means it's not what will happen... I still want Elaine to get it, though  |
