Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman , the Fallen One begins his own epic journey in this first of two oversize omnibus collections featuring Mike Carey's acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated series "His omniscience only works because there are no alternatives. But I have conceived of a revolution that may surprise even Him." Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman , the Fallen One begins his own epic journey in this first of two oversize omnibus collections featuring Mike Carey's acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated series. Since resigning his throne and abandoning his kingdom, Lucifer Morningstar has filled his days supervising a considerably reduced staff at Lux, Los Angeles' most elite piano bar. The arrival of a once-in-an-eternity job offer, however, is about to put an end to his quiet retirement. The contract comes straight from the Creator Himself, and if Lucifer successfully completes his task, the former lord of Hell can name his own price. But negotiating this particular razor's edge between opportunity and catastrophe will require all of his legendary subtlety and will--and no small amount of sacrifice. For his part, the Lightbringer is prepared to risk everything to win the power of Heaven's reward. The Devil's hands have been idle long enough. Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1 collects The Sandman Presents: Lucifer #1-3 , Lucifer #1-35 , and Lucifer: Nirvana #1 with a foreword by Neil Gaiman and an introduction by Mike Carey, along with an extensive gallery of never-before-seen art from the making of the series. Review: Book - Looks good it's a present Review: Tight binding on an excellent book - Please be aware the rating is nothing to do with Mike Careys amazing writing nor the series as a whole. I'm warning potential buyers that there could be a poorly printed batch out there. My copy arrived today and my initial delight at an desertcart packaged omnibus arriving in pristine condition was quickly destroyed. It appears someone at the print house done messed up badly. The binding on my copy is tight as you would hate to see. It appears to be stuck to the spine meaning, there is really bad gutter loss when reading parts of the book. I have been waiting for this book for months so to have to arrive like this is really disappointing. So buy carefully I've seen videos of other copies and this hasn't occurred on those. So it's a risk you are taking but DC's print quality control needs some reviewing Imo. Currently ruminating a return and new copy. Update on this. I'm reading the book now and the spine is losening slightly reducing the gutter loss. So I'm updated my score to now just reflect the quality of the books content and the excellent story contained in there.

Brilliant
in my opinion, I think Lucifer is better than Sandman, and that is a very high hurdle, possibly because it moves along more and is a, more or less, continuous story, rather than being a new concept. The massive compilation itself is very well done. Excellent printing and binding. I have both Sandman and Lucifer in these huge bound sets, a bit hard on the wrist to hold though. I read these all when they came out originally (mid 80s onwards), they don’t age and warrant repeated reading/inspection, there is always something new to discover.

Mature and deep writing for fans of Vertigo or Sandman.
Stunningly creative and unpredictable long story form narrative, superbly well written by Mike Carey. Aside from its compelling narrative, the artwork, mostly by Peter Gross and Ryan Kelly, is consistently fantastic and exciting. Highly recommended for fans of Gaiman's "The Sandman". 10/10

Great presentation, great story
This is is not the tipical comic that you can read in your bed, both for the story, that its amazing and deeply interesting, but for the size of the book itself. It may seem expensive but it really worth it and in the end is chepaer that buy the differents numbers and in a high end format.
