Cast out of Heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his post and abandoned his kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angles. Emerging from the pages of writer Neil Gaiman's award-winning series The Sandman, the former Lord of Hell is now enjoying a quiet retirement as the propretor of Lux, L.A.'s most elite piano bar.
But now an assignment from the Creator Himself is going to change all that.
If Lucifer agrees to do Heaven's dirty work, he can name his own price--but both the task and reward are more than they seem. Thrown into a position of great threat and ultimate opportunity, Lucifer knows that threading a path through this maze will require the harshest of sacrifices.

A masterpiece - easily one of the best I've read
By Matthieu P. Raillard
Full disclosure: I came to the Lucifer books because of the TV series. I am a devout comic fan, had read the Sandman series, but never picked up Lucifer. My mistake! I can easily say that the 5 volume arc is one of the best, most intelligent and creative graphic novel/comic/literary creations I've ever picked up. It would have been easy to make Lucifer into a parody, a cliche, a throwaway joke- instead Carey et al treat the subject matter with respect and erudition, and more than a few readers will be surprised by the twists and turns this series takes. The TV show is fun and silly, but this is so much more, and you won't be disappointed if you check it out!

Spin-off from Neil Gaiman's Sandman
By Alex Stark
When Neil Gaiman was asked which character he would choose for a spinoff from his Sandman series, he was quick with his answer - Lucifer. Lucifer was indeed one of the more, if not most, fascinating characters in the Sandman series - particularly as in the course of that series he abdicated from his reign of hell and literally handed over the keys, retiring initially to Australia (of course) and then to Los Angeles (again of course).
Gaiman had also insisted that Lucifer resemble David Bowie - "the Devil was David Bowie…you must draw David Bowie. Find David Bowie, or I'll send you David Bowie. Because if it isn't David Bowie, you're going to have to redo it until it is David Bowie". So now you know what David Bowie is doing in the afterlife - and hell is once again much cooler than heaven for it.
However, Gaiman did not write the spinoff, but passed the torch to Mike Carey - who proved a worthy successor. Once again, Carey is a British comics writer who previously wrote for 2000 AD (my favorite of his work there is his series Thirteen) and proved adept at portraying infernal politics or power plays - other works along such lines include his Felix Castor series of novels as well as his work on Vampirella, after her origin had been revised to Hell and her mother to Lilith.
Carey's Lucifer commenced where it had ended in Sandman, with Lucifer running his piano bar Lux in Los Angeles. However, things soon become much more complicated when he acquires the door to his own universe (or multiverse), which places him in a power play and collision course with other powerful forces - the angelic host (although God is missing in action), his brother the archangel Michael, his niece and Michael's daughter Elaine Belloc, Japanese gods and Nordic deities, including the truly terrifying Fenris Wolf. And the events set in train involve a large cast of characters, including perhaps my favorite character (along with Elaine Belloc), Christopher Rudd - who rises from amongst the damned to become ruler of Hell through sheer noble badassery.
That is, apart from the main character of Lucifer himself, who remains the engaging focus of the series. His word is his bond and indeed he refuse to lie, contrary to his title as lord of lies - "When the Devil wants you to do something, he doesn't lie to you at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to Hell".
RATING : IT'S A RAVE - 5 STARS*****

Easily one of the most well-written comics to hit shelves
By Ken Campbell
I was thrilled to find this reprinting because tracking down 11 trades from over 10 years ago is not an easy task if you expect them to be on good quality. This book was everything I wanted it to be and the binding was thick and hard enough to sustain reading close to 400 pages without so much as a wrinkle. Mike Carey has done an excellent job at humanizing this ethereal cast of characters and making their plots and ambitions believable. I especially love what an intellectual smart ass they made the former lord of hell, it suits him well. Definitely a book for mature readers, a lot of situations although not graphic and at times implied are very adult in nature. You don't need to physically see the neo-Nazi shove a broken bottle up a gay man's ass to understand that it may be disturbing to a younger reader. The dialogue is also written with a verbose vocabulary which may have younger readers consulting a dictionary once per page. That being said, to the adult reader, I cannot recommend this enough.
