Re-read this last evening (June 18, 2013) just for the hell of it (heh)Good stories with nice art.I especially liked the Bolton art from the first story.Although using characters from the pages of Sandman, Carrey manages to weave original tales that transcend its origins. He characterizes Lucifer very well, he's an arognat ex-angel which likes to order people around... but you still can't keep from liking him.I would lov to see how a meeting between him and Constantine would work out... twoIt's been a long time since I read a comic in the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman grim mystical style, and I bloody loved this. Dark and grimy and gorgeous.
The first volume of probably one of my all time favourite Graphic novel series. This one is up there with the Sandman in terms of sheer originality, characterisation and story telling. I fell in love with Mike Carey as a writer when I read this series, the art work is beautiful too.The characterisation of Lucifer hit the nail on the head.A tour Dr force for the graphic novel medium I recommend this to anyone into, fantasy fiction with religious themes...
LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR. Most of us know him as the Prince of Hell, formerly the angel Samael, proud Lightbringer of the Heavens. But you might as well include the first title as a thing of the past, because apparently Lucifer has resigned.

Establishing a continuity with Gaimans modern interpretation of the Devil, Mike Carrey crafts this spin-off following
I keep picking this up and reading it again because I forgot that I had already read it. Now it is on my read list.
I think my major gripe was the inconsistency. I wish writers would not throw in some new rule right when a character needs the change. You create a world, stick to your own rules. Creativity is great but attempt some type of reasoning or smoothness. Otherwise, I liked this, holds a lot of promise. Lucifer is an extremely interesting character.
Holy moly, this was a great first volume to a series.Mike Carey piqued my interest with his work on current comic "Unwritten", so I thought I should give his old opus a go. Following in the "literary comic" style of Gaiman's Sandman, "Lucifer" is a good slow burn. Every bit of dialogue, every character detail, every relationship is important. The world lives and breathes, and Heaven and Hell have never been more believable to me.And yet, this volume couldn't be more exciting. The stakes are
