Really losing interest in whatever's going on.

[Terminus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still don't know where this is going

[Aera · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn't give this a low rating isn't because I thought the comic was bad. I just felt like I didn't understand what was going on a lot of the time, and the story itself wasn't really my thing.

"I supposed it's because we don't breed that we put so much of ourselves into our TOOLS."

Lucifer must corral Meleos' tarot deck in order to get the six card spread he needs to arm himself with knowledge of the future. The introduction and description of the cards is glorious! But things do not go as planned. There's exhilaration, sickening racism, terror and despair as the cards go on a strike, of sorts.

[Steven · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sick and scary stuff - Lucifer destroys the sum of human knowledge collected in books. The walking tarot cards strike.
