Easily the best part of the Extended Sandman Universe, the Lucifer story is coherent, paced really well, and a delight to watch unfold.

Many writers of this era have a giant plot idea and set everything up as a set of quests to reach that plot. Carey has several different stories to tell that end up creating a large tapestry. By the end, the full run feels more like focused than [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]'s Sandman, but it's actually just very effective at pulling off the same tricks.

If you loved Gaiman's Sandman, you really should check this out. It's excellent.
