Lucifer Vol. 3: A DAlliance with the Damned

Written by Mike Carey
Art by Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly, and Dean Ormston

I've been enjoying this book. In this volume, the focus shifts away from Lucifer for a while, and on to his supporting cast (in the first arc contained herein), and then on one of the kingdoms in Hell.

Carey does a nice job of developing characters, explaining the backstory for Mazikeen and her people, and his portrayal of the Kingdom of Effrul is enjoyable.

While this is a good, dependable read, it does come off as classic Vertigo, without much innovation.
