Rating:  - A New Refreshing Look at Lucifer
Lucifer is a new way to think of Lucifer. He is generally thought of the ruler of hades but here Morningstar has retired and lives on Earth among humans. He works for no one but himself as someone else put on a review here also. I really like how it shifts back some into the past of Lucifer when he was among the heavenly hosts. It gives a bit of insight into the past. I look forward to reading more.
Rating: - Setup.
Mike Carey, Lucifer: Devil in the Gateway (Vertigo, 2001)
Lucifer was always one of the more interesting characters in the Sandman universe, though he didn't get much screen time. Enter Mike Carey (John Constantine: Hellblazer), who takes the threads Gaiman left in Sandman and runs with them. Lucifer, having abdicated his throne, is now the owner of a small bar/club in Los Angeles, playing the piano and mingling with the natives with his longtime companion Mazikeen.

Rating: - Great comic.
I've been reading mostly manga over the past two years, so what surprised me most about this comic (aside from the most obvious differences, ie., color, dialogue-heavy, etc.) was that the illustrators in American comics appear to be disposable, exactly opposite from the Japanese system.
The first story in this comic is illustrated by Scott Hampton who draws a beautiful, lucid version of a Mephistophelean-type, world-weary Satan bored by the absurdity & impermanence of this universe. ... Read More
Rating: - Lucifer after Sandman
Mike Carey brings back Lucifer from the Sandman series for his own storyline complete with uncooperative angels, a girl who sees her best friend's ghost, a teen unsure of a unusual roadtrip with Morning Star and a tarot deck gone postal. Can't wait to read more!
Rating: - Hell of a start
If you like your literature dark, lurid and intense, feel free to indulge in Lucifer. The mere concept is rewarding to think about but seeing the personification of the prince of darkness as he goes about his day is as gratifying as it can get. Cool and cruel best describes Lucifer but he's mainly just trying to enjoy life since he got fed up with his dayjob so to speak. If you've read and loved Sandman, Preacher, or Kid Eternity, you're going to love Lucifer. Get ready for one hell of a ride.
