Notice Based On Books Lucifer, Vol. 1: Devil in the Gateway (Lucifer #1)

It's been a long time since I read a comic in the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman grim mystical style, and I bloody loved this. Dark and grimy and gorgeous.

The art in the first half has a very painterly look to it - as if it's all been coloured in watercolour paint - which adds an airy, breezy quality to the pages. Which is a fascinating counterpoint to the menace that lies just beneath the surface of the interactions between characters.The actual questing and action are almost beside the point in this book - or at least for me, they're not terribly compelling, compared with the mythology of heaven, hell, the world and humanity that Carey teases

Lucifer, Vol. 1 is not the best graphic novel I've read in the last year or so and not the worst. The artwork and production are, as one would expect from Vertigo, top notch. The stories included are good, but nothing like the other stuff I've been lucky enough to encounter in the last few months. Lucifer as a character - well, it's complicated, but not complicated enough to compel me to read the whole series. Still, there's a lot of potential for the retired prince of Hell. At times, I found

This a very bold thing to say, but I adore this volume more than any of the Sandman volumes. That isnt a bash against Gaian, thats a testament to what Carey does here.

I think my major gripe was the inconsistency. I wish writers would not throw in some new rule right when a character needs the change. You create a world, stick to your own rules. Creativity is great but attempt some type of reasoning or smoothness. Otherwise, I liked this, holds a lot of promise. Lucifer is an extremely interesting character.

This book was tough for me. My favorite story of the three was the last one, the one-shot called Born with the Dead. Enjoyable throwback to classic horror comics from shops like EC in the 40s. Engaging little story. I found the other two stories in the volume a lot less compelling. I'm just not very interested in heavy mythology and mysticism. The sections where that was laid on thick were a tough slog. At points my interest dipped almost to zero.The art in the middle section, A Six-Card Spread,

I keep picking this up and reading it again because I forgot that I had already read it. Now it is on my read list.
