marlowe1240.Lucifer vol 4: The Devil at Heart by Dan Watters & Dan Fiamara - This year I was excited to discover that DC had decided to do a bunch of comics that tied into Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe (and Tim Hunter). And I put them all on hold. And they all started out strong but eventually they got convoluted and silly. House of Dreams had too many plot threads. Books of Magic didn't have much going for it after the initial couple of volumes. Hellraiser got all confused about what it wanted to say. Really, these were good but not good enough to get excited over (I don't really know who is dumb enough to still buy comics at newstand prices but those people weren't buying them).
So this Lucifer volume is the 5 issues that were never published. Like the series got discontinued at issue 20 and these were just there waiting to go and DC said "Nope, it's not even worth it to print these things" so it just made a book which it could sell to libraries.
And actually it's pretty damn good - for a time. Watters is having a great time changing perspectives. There are some spooky ass story. And some interesting bits. But then we get to the conclusion where Lucifer erases himself and since he's not around, humans just do evil without caring and everything goes haywire. The angels are all bleh and God has left the building, because [CHRISTIANS} need a dark shadow to define their god.
So after Lucifer erases himself from Destiny's book, the angels just bring him back. But not before a bunch of murders happen. The artwork is pretty good too.
