review:
'Lucifer Vol. 1: The Infernal Comedy' by Dan Watters with art by Max Fiumara and Sebastian Fiumara is part of a new expansion of the famed Sandman series. This is the second one of four that I've read and it's a vast improvement over the first one.
This volume starts with the same Sandman Universe 48 page comic. In that is the whole setup for what follows. The Sandman is missing and a raven has been sent to find out what's going on.
This time, we deal with a broken down and blinded Lucifer. It gets much worse for him as the series goes. There is also an L.A. detective losing his wife to cancer, and a weird halfway house that may be more than halfway in to hell.
The story here was much more coherent than The Dreaming was. The art is really great too. I like the side characters like William Blake (nice touch!) and Robert Johnson. It's a nice layered story about loss and hope and suffering. Well written and well drawn.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
