A bunch of mythologies crossover to arrive at a fairly complex storyline with a less than likeable character playing the lead. Lucifer isn't easily likeable. He is scheming, narcissistic and unleashes horror to those who crosses his path. Art isn't as appealing as it was in the first volume but for a story such as this, it doesn't get in the way of storytelling. 
 Its definitely a better volume than first one. Liked it!
