At the blood-drenched roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree,
the archangel Michael lies dead. His power has been unleashed
upon his daughter, Elaine Belloc, and his brother, Lucifer
Morningstar, burning them out of this existence and clearing
the way for the final unravelling of the universe. The time
has come for those who mark themselves as wronged by Heaven
to rise up and storm the former palaces of Yahweh - led by
the fury of Lilith, Creation's original woman scorned...
Crux
is
the latest addition to the Lucifer range of graphic
novels. Those familiar with this series will already know
what to expect - good solid writing accompanied by great art
work. And you won't be disappointed, this release offers more
of the same.
If
you are looking for a lazy read, then this won't be for you.
You're going to have to concentrate on what is going on in
order to pick up the subtle elements.
I
also loved the crude illustrations that were used (like Watership
Down's opening credits) to tell a mythological
origins tale.
At
the end of the day, author Mike Carey has delivered the goods
once again. This is one hell of a great read.
