"The women are too powerful. They must be tamed."
For hundreds of years a war has been waged between a coven of perpetually reincarnating witches and the all-male conspiracy known as the Architects. After the death of the lead Architect in 2005 it seemed the witches had finally defeated their foes.

Lucifer #1
Written by Dan Watters
Art by Max Fiumara, Sebastian Fiumara and Dave McCaig
Lettering by Steve Wands
Published by Vertigo Comics
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

The Devil's hit hard times in the debut of Lucifer, the latest from Vertigo's "Sandman Universe." Gone is the glitzy L.A. club setting as the Morningstar inhabits his own personal Hell, trapped by some obscured foe. As far as reboots go, it is a pretty drastic new direction, but writer Dan Watters really taps into an entertaining vein of self-aware horror with this story of Lucifer's latest downfall. The B-story about a police detective and a haunted rehab clinic muddies the water a little bit, but Lucifer's tone and wry scripting are very much on brand with the imprint and the character's harrowing origins in the pages of Sandman. Couple that with some sketchy, charred-looking artwork from the Fiumaras and Dave McCaig and you have a viscerally fun reintroduction to the Devil you know.

When we last saw Lucifer Morningstar in the Sandman Universe one-shot, he has been blinded and cast out of Hell. He was also ranting and raving about his supposed son and his mother, who it seems were lost to him. Thankfully writer Dan Watters really builds on that first appearance, dropping us right in the thick of Lucifer's new torturous existence. After the introduction of a lettering-based framing device in the opening, handled beautifully by Steve Wands, Watters takes us on a walking tour of Lucifer's prison. I can also appreciate that Watters quickly establishes that Lucifer is at least aware that he's imprisoned, cutting away at the narrative fat of waiting for our lead to really become our lead. It's economical, and does wonders for the focus of this debut.

Less great is Watters' B-story. As Lucifer goes through another doomed day in his hell, the action then cuts to the dreary real world and into the life of Detective John Decker. Decker's wife Penny is dying of cancer, and while trying to lift her spirits with a drive, their car crashes and Penny is killed. Decker is then plagued with nightmares based around Penny's brother and a mysterious rehab center known as Gately House. Watters gives up a few ghosts of plot in Hell, but during these real-world scenes, the action drags a bit. It's not enough to completely derail the issue, mind you, but enough to make you miss Hell.

Meanwhile, artists Max and Sebastian Fiumara and colorist Dave McCaig make the best use of this bisected plot, giving both the underworld and the real world as distinct visual look and color tone to differentiate them. Lucifer's hellish prison is rendered like a nightmare version of the The Village from The Prisoner, all bland idyllic apartments and gothic architecture set deeply into sandy paths. McCaig washes these pages with a burnt orange glow, telegraphic the dry heat of the "atmosphere" and the sun baked stones of the buildings. Meanwhile, in the real world, Max and Sebastian take a more grounded, but hazy approach to the setting. Every hallway looks a bit too long and the details of certain rooms are sanded away to almost nothing. It is really eerie, and McCaig's sickly blue colors and heavy shadows really amp that up, making the waking world look just as off putting as the world below.

If there is one thing Lucifer know all about, it is defeat, and Lucifer #1 puts him way down in the hole in the name of revenge and redemption. Time will tell which one finds him first, but I for one am happy to go on the journey with him, for now. Dan Watters, the Fiumaras, and Dave McCaig really take the character back to his hellish roots, stripping away all the pomp and privilege of his previous volumes to find out what kind of man this demon ends up being. Rawly rendered and wryly written, Lucifer #1 is a devilishly fun new entry into the "Sandman Universe."

[Arkin Torsen]

Ho letto Lucifer #1. Meh...mi aspettavo di più, devo essere onesto.
C'è una sequenza molto bella con la caduta di Lucifero, c'è l'atmosfera giusta, i disegni e i colori sono belli e azzeccati, ma è un avvio criptico. Per carità, non pretendo che mi si dica tutto e subito, però l'impressione è che non ci sia una vera e propria direzione in cui andare.
