| 1. Lucifer Vol. 1: Devil in the Gateway | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo June 01, 2001
I enjoy Gaiman, though I'm not a diehard fan. I am more a fan of Lucifer, and find this book to be one of the more interesting portrayals of him. Rather than a figure who purposely tells lies, Lucifer is portrayed as a very busy, jaded individual who does not care to coddle others. I enjoyed the twists in the story, and ended up flipping back through it several times to discover what Lucifer had... more

Carey doesn't disappoint in his Lucifer series. A little bit more melancholy than his books, but still kicks a**... more

| 3. Lucifer Vol. 3: A Dalliance with the Damned | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo August 01, 2002
Mike Carey, Lucifer: A Dalliance with the Damned (Vertigo, 2002)
And now it all opens up. Well, at least, it opens up a whole lot of new cans of worms. All the threads from issues one and two tie themselves together, but in classic Sandman tradition, there are far more threads involved in this knot than we ever saw coming. That's one of the things that made Sandman so wonderful, and Carey... more

| 4. Lucifer, Book 11: Evensong | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo January 24, 2007
Mike Carey, Lucifer: Evensong (Vertigo, 2007)
The war in Heaven is over. Lucifer and Elaine have averted the worst, but at what cost? With the strength of the overall series, Evensong felt a bit like a letdown; too many loose ends were tied up too quickly, and too neatly, to be comfortable. That said, though, it's impossible to really call it bad; Lucifer is a series that stands almost... more

| 5. Lucifer Vol. 4: The Divine Comedy | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo April 01, 2003
Mike Carey, Lucifer: The Divine Comedy (Vertigo, 2003)
I'd thought the third volume wrapped up a story arc or two. I was wrong. Carey had more up his sleeve here as Lucifer, the Lilim, the Basanos, and Elaine Belloc all converge on Lucifer's alternate universe for a big, nasty struggle in which Lucifer finds himself help from a few places he didn't realize it was coming, the Basanos try... more

| 6. Lucifer Vol. 5: Inferno | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo February 01, 2004
Mike Carey, Lucifer: Inferno (Vertigo, 2003)
The battle between Lucifer and Amanadiel is finally here, but, of course, nothing is what it seems. Lucifer's power is still tied up in the feathers held by Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Makizeen and the Lilim are off hunting for Susanoo, but there are more than enough enemies-- and allies-- in Hell to make Lucifer wonder if their power will be necessary... more

| 7. Lucifer Vol. 7: Exodus | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo April 01, 2005
Not everything Amazon ships has quality packaging. They can do it very well, like when they wrap it tightly in plastic with an extra piece of cardboard and then put it in a box. But mostly, like with this title, thet put my ordered comic trade paperback in a simple bubble envelop, so you know it's gonna be damaged or bent during shipping. ... more

| 8. Lucifer Vol. 10: Morningstar | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo July 19, 2006
Again Mike Crey pulled off the feat to have a small stand-alone story that is like a prelude to the big story arc he finishes in this volume, only this time, it is at the beginning. Solomon the judge tries to pass an intricate judgement on a lot of bad people. But one of those is the Nazi skinhead guy from the story in volume 1 who has thoroughly repented and reformed himself since and therefore the... more

| 9. Lucifer Vol. 8: The Wolf Beneath the Tree | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo July 01, 2005
Mike Carey, Lucifer: The Wolf Beneath the Tree (Vertigo, 2005)
And so the Lucifer endgame begins. We veer back around to the Norse mythology which both Gaiman and Carey touched on at various times throughout Sandman and Lucifer, but it seems that Fenris, the great Norse wolf, will play a much larger role in the end of the world than we might have previously guessed. Up to the standards... more

| 10. Lucifer Vol. 9: Crux | 
|
By: Mike Carey Publisher: Vertigo January 04, 2006
Mike Carey, Lucifer: Crux (Vertigo, 2006)
God abdicated his throne a couple of volumes back, leading directly to the re-emergence of Fenris and the beginning of the end of both our universe and Lucifer's own creation. There were other repercussions, too, and as Crux opens, we see the first of them; a dying Michael tries to pass his power into Elaine, but the resultant explosion sends both... more
