Lucifer Omnibus 1

Beautifully drawn. 10/10

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.

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 Amazon 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.

Package came with care and prism condition.Carey’s Lucifer , anyone who wants to start ,won’t be disappointed. Omnibus spine is great till now.

Many Thanks. B7e5S

Amazing omnibus , well presented.

Jus the upside down cover..

this series changed my life

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.

“Lucifer Omnibus, Volume One” collects “Lucifer: The Morningstar Option” #1-3, “Lucifer” #1-35, and “Lucifer: Nirvana” #1, written by Mike Carey with pencils by Peter Gross, Dean Ormston, Scott Hampton, Ryan Kelly, Chris Weston, Jon J. Muth, Craig Hamilton, and Warren Pleece, inks by Ryan Kelly, Dean Ormston, Peter Gross, Scott Hampton, James Hodgkins, Jon J. Muth, Craig Hamilton, and Chris Weston, colors by Daniel Vozzo, Scott Hampton, John J. Muth, and Marguerite Van Cook, letters by ComiCraft, Ellie De Ville, Todd Klein, and Fiona Stephenson, with a foreword from Neil Gaiman and introduction by Mike Carey. The stories pick up following the events of “The Sandman: Season of Mists,” with Lucifer and Mazikeen of the Lilim having quit Hell and set themselves up at Lux in Los Angeles.Throughout the stories collected in this volume, Lucifer runs an errand for Heaven to defeat ancient, shapeless gods. In doing so, he receives a letter of passage beyond creation. He seeks out knowledge from various other deities and spirits, learning how to use the letter as a gateway, though he incurs the wrath of the Basanos – a sentient tarot card created by the angel Meleos and imbued with Destiny’s powers – as well as one of the gods of Japan. He seeks further aid from Elaine Belloc, the daughter of the angel Michael, through him Lucifer can gain the power of creation. Meanwhile, Mazikeen rallies the Lilim, further alienating demons from Lucifer. While Mike Carey connects many of the stories, there are several distinct storyarcs collected within this volume. The longest is a reverse “Divine Comedy,” beginning with Paradiso in which Lucifer is challenged for rule of his cosmos. In Purgatorio, he must face Death of the Endless, while he duels Amenadiel in Hell in Inferno. Carey carefully lays the groundwork for these stories well in advance and offers a dénouement of sorts in the final issues of the first “Lucifer Omnibus” volume.The sheer size of this volume makes it somewhat ungainly, though it is a great way to collect a large chunk of DC/Vertigo’s “Lucifer” stories in a single book. The construction is high-quality, too, with a strong binding to support the weight of the heavy pages. A great introduction for those looking to read the comics after watching Fox/Netflix’s “Lucifer” television series or for those looking to collect the first half of the first volume of “Lucifer.”

Nato come spin off di SANDMAN. Lucifer, è bene dirlo da subito, non c'entra nulla rispetto al telefilm. Il fumetto di Lucifer è un'opera criptica, filosofica, esoterica, molto bella ma non adatto a tutti. Se siete curiosi mossi dalla visione del telefilm lasciate stare.Omnibus in inglese, buono il rapporto qualità prezzo. La serie si conclude nel secondo omnibus

Supermooie omnibus, mooi object op zich al.
