• Cast out of Heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has
  resigned his post and abandoned his kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angeles.
  In this final Lucifer volume, the war in Heaven reaches its
  universe-shaking conclusion, as the forces of Heaven, Hell, and everyone in
  between wage a final battle to determine the fate of both Yahweh and Lucifer's
  Creations — a fate no one, not even the Lightbringer, could foresee. And
  in the aftermath of the battle, how will Lucifer and his cohorts pick up their
  lives and tie up loose ends?

In its final volume, the stories revolving around Lucifer finally come to their climax. As the end gets nearer, the parallels to The Sandman become more and more obvious. Like in Sandman, many, many realms and beings are visited, and certain transfers happen. Also like in Sandman, Lucifer is not really so much of a protagonist, but more of a shaper – only rarely is he actually the focus of a storyline. He's a really odd character, very elusive, very cunning, but not really likeable at all. In my opinion, Lucifer is more worth reading for all the ideas that hide behind the stories...
