An interesting read. It’s definitely got some pretty art and a fascinating story spin. I love stuff involving mythology and mythological gods so naturally I had to pick this up. There were parts that felt a little confusing and scattered, but I feel like that was intentional. A way to keep you feeling as confused as the character of Laura. I feel like the bit at the start felt unnecessary? Mostly out of place since it isn’t like we don’t know the premise. But perhaps something tied to that comes up later. Definitely could’ve done without the intentional misgendering barb and the reveal that it was an intentional one being how it’s revealed a character is transgender. Lucifer or not it didn’t feel necessary for the character in any way, shape, or form. Hopefully there’s no more of that needlessly harmful nonsense in other issues. I’ll likely at least give the next volume s try as it was enjoyable and did have an interesting ending.
