gretrascis's review against another edition

Feels like Sandman lite. The world-building isn’t doing it for me and I struggled to get through this volume. This is my third try on the series and I think it’ll be my last. Carey just isn’t as a strong a storyteller as Gaiman, which is fine in his own stories like Unwritten, but in Gaiman’s sandbox I just found myself comparing Lucifer to Sandman and finding the former lacking.

We see the intelligent, calculative part of Lucifer in this book. Mazikeen's strong, powerful and decisive side is seen. She too isn't far behind Lucifer when it comes to quick and strategic battle plans. Her observational skills are extraordinary. Gaudium and Spera have won my heart. Gaudium with his humour (uncalled for at times) and Spera with her crush on an angel. The plot has progressed and many questions remained unanswered. So, onto the 4th book for answers. I can't discuss much without giving away the plot.

Book 3 continues the excellent story and throws in some great curveballs to set up book 4.
As you are unlikely to jump in to the series at book 3 I don't want to give away too much for those following the series.
If you've read 1 & 2 (highly recommended) rest assured 3 continues the high standard

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

In this book there are several perfect Lucifer stories, and several good ones. The resolution with The Duke of Gly, the conflict with Amandiel; spectacular. Michael and Samael entering the mind of Yaweh; sublime. But with some, like the Titans, I wish it was more thoroughly explored. They never really stop being a joke, even when they're God.
Perhaps I still want Lucifer to be Sandman when I should be content with it being Lucifer, but I sometimes I see what this comic could be and I'm left wanting. I wish it didn't undercut itself with jokes and feel so 2005.
Even still, when Lucifer is great - it's great. Absolutely worth reading.
