"Things were either black or white. He would be himself. Or he would be nothing."
Lucifer Morningstar, former favorite of Heaven and retired ruler of Hell, has never been much for compromise, and that certainly didn't change when he founded his own universe. Now, after finally leaving all of the constraints of God's Creation behind him, the Morningstar finds himself in a familiar position gathering souls for his realm. Instead of suffering eternal torment, however, Lucifer's new immigrants are free to live as they choose. The only commandment handed down by their world's maker is that they bow down in worship to no one. After all, not bowing to anyone is a point of pride for the Lightbringer.
But Heaven has spoken: Lucifer's cosmos is an affront to the ordained scheme of things, and it must be closed at any cost. As they say, pride goeth before a fall and Death has never been big on compromise, either.
Lucifer: The Divine Comedy continues the adventures of the Prince of Darkness from Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking series The Sandman, collecting issues 21-28 of the Eisner Award-nominated Lucifer series.
Review
"Leaping from physical to metaphysical realms and between worlds as it intercuts plot strands, Casey's yarn has the texture, smart-alecky dialogue, and rich looks of, but more ingenuity than, a Hollywood epic." Ray Olson, Booklist
Review
"A grand epic in the tradition of Sandman or Preacher, with a creative team that ranks among Vertigo's finest....Carey and company are crafting one of the best reads in the Vertigo line today." The Fourth Rail

Synopsis
With the original gate between the two worlds shattered into a million separate gates, beings from all of the worlds in the old Creation now have the opportunity to join Lucifer's recently opened existence. While neither Heaven nor Hell await them there, the forces aligned against the Lightbringer still have a card or two left to play...and their attitude towards Lucifer's new subjects is a far cry from charitable!
