Moments of Permanence - Draw no conclusions about my religious leanings, this is about literature...

It doesn't have the completeness it should have, to be a proper story. Stories have rules. The thing about Sandman was that, as a story about stories, it knew that. Gaiman is a hundred times the writer this guy is, for real.

I've seen other things that don't vilify Lucifer, generally better-written ones. ;) Sadly I can't think of any titles offhand outside of his role in Sandman.

well, I never seemed to be able to obtain all the comics from the library, so I never did get to read it all. But it increasingly got 'what? wut? What happened?" near the end. :|

Indeed, lots of useful things...

THAT IS, PIRATES ARE EVIL AND BAD AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN GET FREE STUFFS. NATCH.

I have this vague sense that E. Bear's Promethean Age books don't, but I could never get into her writing on a fannish/emotional level (other than in Shadow Unit), and now, obviously, I'm hesitant to rec her because I kind of doubt her books do much better on the race front than Lucifer does (I never made it past about the initial three chapters of the first Promethean Age book because I got bored and gave it back to the library. I understand there are some problems with it, though).
