Lucifer takes the best parts of Neil Gaiman's Sandman (the fantasy elements and personification/anthropomorphism) and adds in a much more epic overarching story that is way more badass and not so up its own butt. It's just naturally like this because the main character isn't the aloof Dream of the Endless, its Lucifer, the baddest dude in religious history.
Book one was great, book two continues to be just as good.
Not much else to say other than that I'm enjoying this so far. Epic in scale and loving where its going so far thematically.

Lucifer aims to create a new universe, to one-up dear old dad. How will things turn out for him? (Resisting hell-puns, best as I can).
Still enjoying this series. The thing that irks me, however, how clearly men are shown naked in scenes of suffering while women are shown naked to be sexy. Are there no women in hell? I mean, regular mortal women? Who aren't here to have sex with men in-between torturing them? It's just so weird that hell looks to be 100% male mortals - is there gender segregation in hell? Is there a woman section of hell? Sorry, this just really bothers me.

I get it, the tv show is nothing like the graphic novels, and I'm ok with that. I loved the television series but Iove this comic series. I have no need to compare the two. The book is dark, it is humorous, it is sarcastic, it is sweet - a great balance. It's well drawn and the storylines are fantastic.

Honestly while I find it interesting it just isn't dragging me in. Lucifer has a new universe and people occupy it, hell has changes and Lucifer has plans.

Definitely more into this book than Book #1, but I think that's because there was a lot of action and things happening instead of events being set up.
