Lucifer, Vol. 5: Inferno by Mike Carey

5.0

It's been about a year since the last Sandman Universe book that I read, and yet there was no point in this book where I fought to remember what was happening, and how it related to the larger universe.

There are three stories in this volume, the first is a thre part tale that continues Lucifer's return to Hell, the second is a one-off issue about a devout man who wishes sin was punished faster and fastidiousness rewarded quicker and how he intersects with our larger story, and the finale is a two parter where Solomon searches for Elaine's murderer while Lucifer makes deals in Asgard.

This story is so well-told, it seems a shame that they chose to make the TV show version of Lucifer a police procedural.
