A review by cmiller0401
Lucifer, Vol. 5: Inferno by Peter Gross, Craig Hamilton, Ryan Kelly, Mike Carey, Dean Ormston

3.0

I think court intrigue is one of the most boring plot structures ever, and this was a lot of that with the royalty of Effrul (especially Lady Lys). I already had too much of it in Volume 3, and then here it was again.

Also the duel between Lucifer and Amenadiel felt like a side tangent that they remembered to wrap up (and they did so sloppily). I wish they had kept on forgetting.

For the aforementioned reasons I think this trade paperback was the weakest point in the first run of the Lucifer comics. I actually stopped reading the series for months, stuck on this trade.

Things I liked: The little bit of Gaudium and Spera, the introduction of some more Norse mythology.
