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

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.
