Customer Reviews
the plot thickensReview by Dream's Raven, 2010-06-30
Following on the heels of Children and Monsters, this volume of Lucifer comics really makes things interesting. We get a new spin on Hell in it, are introduced to a whole bunch of interesting characters, and begin to see the conspiracies that are being built against the Devil in his new endeavor to create a second universe. I found the plot of the comics in this volume to be absolutely engrossing, and I couldn't put them down. I can't wait to continue the series.
Where everything starts to come into view.
Review by Robert P. Beveridge, 2008-08-19
Mike Carey, Lucifer: A Dalliance with the Damned (Vertigo, 2002)
And now it all opens up. Well, at least, it opens up a whole lot of new cans of worms. All the threads from issues one and two tie themselves together, but in classic Sandman tradition, there are far more threads involved in this knot than we ever saw coming. That's one of the things that made Sandman so wonderful, and Carey continues on in the tradition: nothing exists solely to advance the plot, but every action a character takes, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, has an effect somewhere else. A lot like life, really. I'm really looking forward to volume 4 (which is sitting here waiting for me to read it, which will happen soon after I finish writing this). ****
Promises kept
Review by Anton Bentzen, 2006-11-04
I began this series after reading "Sandman", wherefrom Luficer is a spinoff. For a very long time, this is the first spinoffproduct that really works. Actually I think that Mike Carrey is pulling this off so well, that its allmost wrong to call this a spinoff. Lucifer is balancing own its own.
Entertaining Comics
Review by Joseph Adams, 2006-10-19
These Lucifer graphic novels are just reprints of the comic series by DC/Vertigo that ended a few months ago. Lucifer is the fallen angel, Satan if you will, who originated in The Sandmnan series. It features nudity and swearing, which are really pushing the limits in a still going comics industry that is famous around the world and known a lot amongst kids and teenagers. These are for mature readers because of that. I really like the idea of pushing boundaries in comics, enough to keep me interested as an adult in my mid 20s versus that virgin 11 year old reading Superman or Archie. I also read Ghost Rider and Batman, just because their costumes are dark and sinister. Comics drew some wrath by parents and moral groups- their almost modern near gothic outfits were really racey for the time. Death metal music has been called the musical equivalent of a comic book to aimlessly gloat over, or aimlessly brag about. These exist for a variety of literary tastes, and I would rather read freaking Lucifer than Superman any day. Glen Danzig and Verotik continue to sporadically turn out adult comics for mature readers much like Vertigo. Lucifer is not some fake super hero in spandex- he's a sypathetic lead character in an adult oriented comics series.
Great series! Recommended to fantasy and mythology fans
Review by Mauricio, 2005-04-20
I have read the first three books of Mike Carey's Lucifer, and A Dalliance with the Damned is the best so far. (Can't wait for the next volumes).
This is a great fantasy-mythology series that involves angels, demons and biblical characters such as Michael, Eve, Lilith and, of course, Lucifer! Carey really knows to write, the drawing is great too.
I recommend you to read books 1 & 2 and Neil Gaiman's Sandman Season of Mists first. That's the way to get the whole thing. You won't be dissapointed.
