Excellent!The original Hexed showed us that the witch thief Lucifer more than deserved her own series, and in this volume she returns with sorcery and swagger!This is just great!
Love love love this series. Feels like a hidden gem since I never heard anything about it before finding it on sale on comixology. It's the librarians meets Constantine and 100% amazing.
Constantine meets Kate Daniels. Lucifer is a world renown art thief who actually steals dangerous magic items to keep them away from the public. She inadvertently lets a dangerous magician free and now must cleanup the fallout. The dialogue is snappy, the characters interesting, and the story intriguing. Dan Mora's art is fantastic. Can't wait for the next volume.
This is fantastic. Fast favorite, currently devouring the rest of the series.
A re-read for me after finding out there were TWO volumes I hadn't read in the series and it's been almost four years since I read the other two. I still really like this series in that Lucifer is a kick ass heroine in the vein of Buffy and Mercy Thompson. Though the reviewer who said Lucifer was the best of Buffy and Faith got in my head a bit... is there really any good to Faith? Yes, she gets redeemed, but I still have issues. Perhaps more with the acting than the character. Plus the whole ar...
4.5 starsyo this was hella fun
I thought I got this for the art (same as Pretty Deadly), but it was an extremely interesting story, well executed! The cover doesn't draw you in, unfortunately- although I certainly do like the range of Emma Rios's style, from sharp-planed heroic beauty to grotesquely gorgeous, I don't think this image represents the tone well. Mostly female characters, magical art heists and necromancy- what's not to love?
I absolutely love this! Although I looks like I accidentally skipped a standalone volume that came out before this ...oh well, I don't feel like I was missing anything and I'll go back and read it now lol. Anyway, this was just great. I love the characters, the world-building with all the painting travel and magic, and the art is absolutely amazing! Definitely a new favorite.
The first installment of Hexed was described as being like Buffy, but this volume certainly tends more towards Constantine. And that's great! Lucifer is certainly capable here, getting into more than she can handle but always having a plan to get out- even when that plan goes wrong, that's what improve and back-up plans are for. Dan Mora's art is gorgeous as well, from the spells to the famous paintings that act as settings and scenery. Hexed certainly has a more adventurous feel to it, and the
I actually grabbed this because of the Emma Rios cover, but she didn't do the art itself, just the covers, which is weird? Anyway this was too urban fantasy for my taste: not enough exploration of the foundations of this world, too much leaping straight into the action and hurtling on through it, with a mawkish pinch of I-hate-you-but-I'm-gonna-save-you-oh-I-guess-we're-friends-now trope smeared on top. All three of the main women characters look like the same model with different superficial ch...
I'll expand this review later, but for now, let me just say that I loved this. I'm a huge fan of the original hexed series, and it was lovely to return to these characters. Lucifer feels lighter, because she's not keeping the secrets she was in the first series. The art fits that mood. Very well done and I look forward to reading more.
This is a really excellent comic series, I wish more people would read it. I love the story, it's very original and captivating. Lucifer is a great main character. She's got a good heart and she's really inventive when ti comes to getting out of trouble. She's a really well rounded character and one of my favorite female protagonists from the comics I've read in 2015. Harlot is another character that is really interesting. I love the way she is drawn and I love that she's not a good guy or a bad...

Would have been better if the obvious pairing had happened, but pretty solid.
Solid supernatural adventure with some fantastic art by Dan Mora.
Stopped half way so I won't write a huge review. The art is solid, but the story is kind of blend. I couldn't really get behind any of the characters or become interested in any of the plotlines. This is a pretty book but very dull to read IMO.
This is the first collected volume of a reboot of the earlier Hexed miniseries, currently available on Kindle Unlimited.What can I say? This feels more ... mainstream. More professional, more standardised. Less distinctive, less interesting. Our protagonist has become more of an in-your-face, wisecracking, confident superhero than an angry sneak thief gliding through the shadows. So the very thing that made the miniseries intriguing has been lost. This new incarnation is very well done, but blan...
Not until half way through reading did I find out it was a Hexed story before this one that came out in 2008-2009. This one is not confusing at all and can serve as an introduction to the world and it's characters. I have seen people compare it to Buffy and Constantine and I definitely get those vibes. It invites you to want to know more about the magic and secrets that surrounds Lucifer, The Harlot, and all the other characters.
This is the first volume in a series of three. I'm not ready to rate the story. But I have a serious problem with the art. This is Michael Nelson's latest Hexed series. The art for the first series was by Emma Rios. It was brilliantly stylized and illustrated Nelson's characters brilliantly. The new artist is Dan Mora. His art is good, but his style is total Barbie Doll. It totally fails to communicate the gritty edge of Lucifer, the main character. It is so devoid of the feeling of the first se...
