Lucifer, Vol. 8: The Wolf Beneath the Tree by Mike Carey

4.0

The backstory about Lilith, Mazikeen's mother (and mother to all of the Lilim), was very interesting:
Spoiler Her affair with the angel Ibriel (which resulted in Briadach), Mazikeen and Briadach being childhood friends as well as half-siblings, how the Lilim were the ones who built the Silver City for The Host, and how the Lilim were cast out of heaven when Briadach and Mazikeen avenged their mother's broken heart (which itself set the stage for Lucifer's rebellion against God)--all very engrossing.


The demon Unagor was probably one of the coolest-looking characters I've seen in the Lucifer comics.

The second half of this trade paperback consisted of the story of Fenris "The Wolf" trying to speed up the end of God's creation (after which this trade paperback is named). I felt like there were some plot holes and that it generally wasn't very interesting.

The cameo from Delirium of The Endless was cool.
