Faithless: II #5

This is a great little entry in Azzarello's series about a young girl being seduced by demonic beings. Faith is becoming more and more active as she realises things are wrong about her situation. Characters such as Poppy, Lily, the old woman and our protagonist are all developed and the art is to die for. Not to mention the fact that there's some really good and expressive use of lettering throughout the issue. Definitely worth a read. Read Full Review

Both runs of Faithless are advertised as in the 000tradition of the divine comedy. After reading this latest issue, I think that there's another major influence on display; the TV show Lucifer. True, this book has more sex and eroticism shown with courage and without apology than Lucifer but there is a love interest, there is the devil and a cast of characters up to no good or good depending on your point of view. I do feel that we have lost the way a tad in this run; there used to be touches of magic around Faith which seems to have dried up. Even with interest waning, the book is still one of the most readable from a quality perspective. Read Full Review

Other than what readers learn about Solomon, this installment does little to propel the story forward and merely feels like we're being bludgeoned by surrealist imagery that grows tiresome. Read Full Review
