Not what I expected but still, it was an interesting and enjoyable read.

When the Devil abandons his throne and lives among the mortals, look for him at his piano bar with his hands on the keys of the world. All Lucifer wanted was to chill in his bar in LA but the angels and demons and old gods just couldn't leave him alone. Honestly Amenadiel only had himself to blame.

Not the show, nor is it Sandman. It's trying to be a thing of its own and I wouldn't have it any other way. I look forward to seeing it grow.

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

I've heard good things about Lucifer over the years, and was sort of led to believe it was better than I found it. The collected editions created in preparation for the TV series made getting ahold of them easy - so I took advantage of it.
In Book One I didn't find many of the characters particularly endearing. I liked the Sandman Presents mini (3 issues), that kicked it off, well enough - but found no particular hooks in the other story arcs. Hoping for improvement... seeing as I went all in and got the 5 books from the outset.
Oh well, no shortage of people to donate them to if they fail to improve.

I hate to say this but this is a DNF for me.
Don't get me wrong... I understand how its good but I'm just really not connecting to it as much as I wanted to. I love the Sandman series but it takes some fortitude to finish a series of that caliber. Like, no one sits down and reads The Odyssey in one sitting you know...
I enjoyed when Lucifer was snarky but there wasn't enough of it. I guess I was hoping this would be more episodic than it turned out to be. It has a wonderful lyrical feeling to the story telling but I just feel like they were trying to be too esoteric for there own good. I would have rather invested more in a clear plot rather than the poetry.
