Review
Publisher's Weekly, August 25 2003: "...Mike Carey weaves an unusual story with an original take on the forces of good, evil and beyond evil..."
Product Description
From the pages of Neil Gaiman's multi award-winning Sandman series...Lucifer Morningstar continues to work on his greatest plan yet - the creation of a new universe to rival God's - without the constraints imposed by having deities. Now, with the original gate between the two universes shattered into innumerable pieces, beings from throughout the original Creation have the opportunity to join Lucifer's new realm. But, though neither Heaven nor Hell await them there, the forces aligned against Lucifer still have one or two cards left to play...and their attitude towards both the Morningstar and his refugees is far from friendly.

This series just keeps getting better,
By
This review is from: Lucifer: Mansions of the Silence (Paperback)
This story follows straight on from Volume 5 and contains contains the five issue Naglfar story and the epilogue, "Sisters of Mercy".I would recommend reading the books in sequence. While it is not essential, it will enhance the pleasure and explain some of the more complex inter-relationships. In this volume, Lucifer sends a mystical ship (the Naglfar), crewed with supporting characters, on a quest to find the soul of a half-human/half-angel girl that is trapped in a horrible place between heaven and hell. Careys writing is well paced and captivating and the artwork by Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly and Dean Ormiston is perfectly suited to the tale. The epilogue, with art by Davih Hahn, isn't so good but is an ok addendum. If you liked Neil Gaiman's Sandman, I can't believe you aren't reading this already, but if you aren't start now.

A Grand Dalliance!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lucifer: A Dalliance with the Damned (Sandman) (Paperback)
Based on characters created and/or reinterpreted by Neil Gaiman's acclaimed "Sandman" comic book series, Lucifer: A Dalliance With The Damned is the third volume and is comprised of issues 14-20 of the Eisner Award nominated "Lucifer" comic book series, offering a graphic and full color tail of demon rivalry and motives at cross purpose. The monstrous children of Lilith, forever denied the Garden of Paradise despite their lack of relation to original sinners Adam and Eve, mount a war of rebellion and conquest in this dramatic and occasionally risque tale, suggested for mature readers. A fascinating page turner that presents supernatural creatures as all too human, sharing few virtues many vices with their mortal counterparts, Lucifer: A Dalliance With The Damned is a superbly produced and highly recommended graphic novel. The Apocrypha by John A. De Vito is a must read for lovers of this series.

In which the series really hits its stride,
By
This review is from: Lucifer: A Dalliance with the Damned (Sandman) (Paperback)
By this volume, which contains two arcs, Carey and his regular artistic team of Gross & Kelly and Dean Ormston have established the main pantheon of characters and developed a definite artistic style. The pace and the stakes have been raised and the stage is being set for the main part of the show.
The first arc is composed as a Tryptych which follows Mazikeen, Elaine Belloc and Lucifer in turn. Mazikeen is looking for a way to return to her former visage and returns to the less than loving embrace of her own kind in search of a way. Carey's writing is excellent as we follow Mazikeen in fatalistic mood, acting with small hope of success but, like her mentor, with great determination. This story goes some way to explaining the depth of feeling between Mazikeen and Lucifer. She loves him freely, but not as an equal. Is her determination a quality that draws him to her or a subconscious desire to emulate her lover? Elaine Belloc's story is a slight diversion and while it explores her character and circumstances, it serves largely as an introduction to the fields of pain and Lady Lys. Lucifer's tale is a gem and a blasphemous allegory as `mankind' gets a second chance at Eden, under new management and simpler rules. The final story concentrates on the household of a demonic lord (Arux) and in particular his daughter Lys. The political machinations of the lords of hell are been conducted during a faddish charade of 16th/17th Century European style and when Lady Lys retrieves a damned soul from the pit for her own amusement, she sets in motion a series of events that will have significant and potentially long lasting consequences.
