This was...ok? Carey was writing as if he was trying to be Gaiman but didn't quite get there. Lots of moving parts that were introduced clumsily and mostly sorta kinda came together at the end. I don't mind non-linear story-telling, but it should be apparent to the reader what the storyline is getting at, and that wasn't the case here.
I do think Carey did justice to Lucifer and Mazikeen as characters, but I dunno. Something was off.

What happens when Lucifer, The Lightbringer, The Adversary, former Lord of Hell, decides to walk away from it all, to stop playing by Heaven's rules? Well....here ya go. Mike Carey (building off of what Neil Gaiman started) make THE Devil a sympathetic character you will get behind. I give it 4.75 of 5 stars just because I didn't care of Chris Westown's art. Thankfully, Peter Gross and Ryan Kelly show up. I love all the mythology, cosmology, religion, mysticism, dark fantasy in this amazing series. It's been a pure joy to re-visit it.

Even as a poor man's Sandman, this spinoff had potential — but even a poor man has more sense than to make Satan the main character.

Very different from the TV show, much more metaphysical and a lot less buddy cop and soul mate romance.

On the whole, I quite enjoyed this. There were some slow moments in the middle collected issues, and the end to me felt a pinch muddled. But it was lovely to be reacquainted with good old Lucifer.

Holy Hell! (Puns intended). So this was another forced read from the boyf, but I was pretty sure I was going to like it anyway since it comes from the pages of Sandman, and I adore Neil Gaiman's wonderful warped mind. So book one contains the first 13 issues of the DC comics, and to be honest it was very hard to get into the story at first. I was confused a lot to begin with but once I sank into the writing style and the characters this became an incredible read. I would say my favourite story in the collection was 'A Six-Card Spread' and my main reasoning behind it being my favourite is that it REALLY got to me. The story itself is a little hard to swallow at points, but that was not what struck me most. It was extremely beautifully written and I must say I was in total awe of the genius behind the poetic style. As for the collection as a whole it was hard to put it down and the beauty of the first story was carried throughout. Overall, highly recommended and I will definitely carry on with the series.

If comics are becoming shows, then I have to read the comics. I'm just sorry it took me so long to get my hands on Lucifer. He's amazing, forget everything you think you know, because I guarantee this will teach you differently.

I went into this thinking it bared at least a tiny semblance to the TV show Lucifer. I'm gonna be honest the tv show isn't great but Tom Ellis' portrayal of Lucifer is pretty amazing and entertaining. His humor was something that drew me to the graphic novel to learn more. Alas, I was disappointed. It was honestly boring. Everything I loved about the show like Mazikeen as this bad ass leather wearing killing machine-who actually had a personality to Lucifer's humor and even Amenadiel's conscience were all missing from the graphic novel. I don't think I will continue on with the series...
