Despite its on the nose, naval gazing dialogue, half the story being illustrated in this incredibly sterile, over referenced style and its writing over all suffering from cliche, pacing issues, and a comically grimdark tone, the one hand and the six figures manages to be more than the sum of its parts, and cumulates into a fairly satisfying finish. Some moments of paneling abstraction and strong presentation help it along as well.

Preview- House of Whispers Vol. 3: Watching The Watchers

The goddess Erzulie is grieving the loss of one of her husbands, while her remaining spouses are asking themselves if they can remain by her side.

Erzulie will need allies—including Papa Midnite, the dangerous immortal on whom everyone in the afterlife has sworn revenge!

Syrocax and Lucifer have an interesting history - obviously. Syrocax is the mother of his child, Caliban, the both of them were exiled to an island (by Lucifer), Syrocax is dead, she has people living in her skull who are manifestations of her memories. Frankly, they have some issues to work through. I wish them the best of luck.

Stingy Jack, on the other hand, is just petty, empty and only seeking revenge. He gives little regard to other people, and is leaving a string of travesties behind him; he doesn’t care how many people he’s hurting or about the damage he’s causing.

Stingy Jack is the villain. Straight-up, no questions asked, the villain. Bad guy, has always been a bad guy, kinda deserves his fate. So, are Lucifer and Syrocax wanting to do good things? And Stingy Jack is intentionally sabotaging their plan? Or is Lucifer’s plan still unknown to us so Stingy Jack is just after petty revenge? 

I pity Lucifer, and the cop. I’m glad Penelope left her brother behind to his fate - the selfish, selfish man - but I’m heartbroken it led to her downfall. I’m sorry it lead to her whole family’s downfall. I’m still having a hard time tracking when we are in the story and which character is real.

Lucifer is enlightened. Caught in a web of bargains and deceit centuries in the making, the Devil uncovers the truth about the peculiar prison he is trapped within.

Meanwhile: the detective hiding in the bushes draws close to solving the mystery of Gately House, if only he can recall his own name.
