Morningstar - Part 4

Christoper Rudd brings his damned and demons to join the war between the Host and the Lilim. And he attacks both. Fenris goes to destroy the primium mobile and Lucifer who has been wounded by fenris is healed by Esa Corla and goes back to the silver city , still retaining his sense of sarcasm. Duma is informed of Michaels death and I wonder if this will have repercussions. Lilith seems to repent, but is mortally wounded.
But the strongest points of this issue is Lucifers, Elaines and Christophers dialogue which sums up their essence
When Lucifer wants Elaine to sit on Gods throne and she asks him why not you , Lucifer replies
Ill see Creation fall rather than sit on the Chair. And you have the same choice of course .
Always the manipulative bastard. Rudd To Elaine. Promise me this If Creation endures , rebuild it without a heaven or hell and Elaine replies If I have anything to do with rebuilding, there wont be a hell
And as always Carey has an end to the issue to surprise you. Fenris destroys the primium mobile

This sisters of mercy

This story is an epilogue of sorts to the naglfar where the fates of Elaine and Mona are decided. By Elaines choice of wanting to be the guardian angel of the Lucifers creation we perhaps are seeing what the future will have in store for her. The story basically has Elaines and Mona’s realization that they have no place in their creation anymore and it is time to move on. Carey adds his usual wry humour like when mona and Elaine are back in their creation Elaine remarks Tatu is good. For those not in the know, Tatu was a two girl supposedly lesbian band with one controversial video wherein the tatu duo dress up in school girl uniforms and are seen making out. Im not entirely sure if the storyteller technique used is a tip of the hat to Gaimans Prelude to dolls house . certainly the lines I have told it to you dear one as my mother told it to me. Keep it silent in your heart until you tell it too are reminiscent of gaimans similar lines. Lucifers lines about worshipping ridiculous gods which bring the concept into disrepute also reminds me of alan moore’s comments when he started worshipping some snake god.
The art is too cartoony this issue. No issue of Lucifer is complete without some of Lucifers quips and the one that stands out this issue is Lucifers reply to Bergelmirs I still believe  that you’ll be bought to pay for it , one way or the other . Lucifer replies  Well belief is meant to be a great consolation. Take it with you when you go.
