By all rights this volume is kind of a mess with the different storylines and randomly sticking an issue from several issues back right at the beginning, but it still weirdly works for me.

I love the Lilith issue and how she kind of planted the seed in Lucifer's mind for rebellion. I also can't help thinking of Gaiman's Murder Mysteries when I read it just because they are both an extremely different take on the first murder in heaven. Also I really love seeing child!Mazikeen and seeing how much Lucifer has been a part of her life right from the beginning.

I love The Wolf Beneath the Tree as well, not only for the big showdown at the end and what comes next, but also because I like how it blends other mythologies into the overall story. And I love Michael, Lucifer, and Elaine having an awkward family dinner with Destiny. Awkward family dinners are like one of my favorite tropes so that was great for me. And just Elaine in general! I'm so excited for what's about to happen! I just love her story line so much.
