Ms Havisham reads it, I'll see if I can lure her here.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
On that note, who reads Lucifer? I glanced through the first TPB and it looked well-written.
It was, once, but it's gotten dull. I don't know why I cling to it.

I'm wondering if the writing is intentionally mirroring the motif of the Fall, going from glorious brilliance (the miniseries that preceded the regular book) to pointless misery (the current storyline).
Jon, sorry it took me so long to get back to you about the Spike action figure. None were available from my source, though if you're in the market for Little Nicky figurines I can set you up.

I don't know, I just picked up on the thing and am going back through the back issues. There seems to be a lot being set up for the coming storylines. But maybe that's just because I'm catching on. I was happy to fill in a missing spot in the run by picking up #24 at MegaCon for a buck.
In fact, I just read an enthusiastic review over at Sequential Tart in their review of Vertigo's 10th anniversary, Read This or Die. The reviewer said that this was the first time she was reading the new issues while she was catching up with the trades, before she even caught up.

Jon, sorry it took me so long to get back to you about the Spike action figure.
Thanks for looking! Much appreciated.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Oh, no! I really liked the first few Lucifer TPBs...

Like its protagonist, the series just keeps getting worse and worse as time goes on.

And we will call it... "This Land."

I've been reading it since the begining. It manages, IMO, to balance abstractness and philosophy with actual storytelling so that it doesn't go off the incoherent end like other Sandman spinoffs have.
There's a decent stable of supporting characters, who often carry a good part of the story themselves since Lucifer can be a little short on the sympathetic/fallible side.
A graphic novel called "Nirvana" came out not too long ago - it's a standalone storyline and it'll give you a taste of the style.

If I wanted a Spike action figure, where's a good place to get one? I don't care if it's mint or if it's a limited variant. I just want a Spike.
Jon, I don't know if this any help but there are some Australian sites that seem to list a few that they have currently, also some new ones that are due in March, and some that are listed as Australian exclusive.
Maybe you could organise with one of us Aussies to get one to you?
some links I found are www.fastbreak.com.au
and figuremania search page type in Spike

Anyone still interested in Lucifer... a new storyline just started this month.
