High fantasy, beautiful art, and mythology weave together to create a tremendous reading experience in this book. The characters are the stuff of dreams -- Neil Gaiman's dreams, in fact. And those are very interesting and revelatory dreams to explore.

Si Spurrier leads this journey into the Sandman universe and I was glad to have the opportunity to see what this text had to offer. I would gladly visit for another volume.

I came to this graphic novel with no prior knowledge of the Sandman universe. All I know of the character of Lucifer comes from the recent TV series, so I was interested to go back to the roots, as it were. Due to my lack of background reading, I did find the opening section a tad confusing; however, it will probably mean more to longtime fans. Once the main plot kicked off, I settled into it with ease. I enjoyed the premise and loved the ties to Shakespeare. The story moved at a good pace, with an excellent balance of images and text, and the artwork was gorgeous. It certainly left me keen to read future volumes. Although those in the know will probably take away more from this work than a newbie, the story is also accessible to those who, like me, are coming to the character and world via the television show.

I just couldn't get into the story because it jumped around so much. The art style was okay, but I just didn't like it enough to keep reading.

Absolutely love the Sandman universe, this was interesting and the art was good sure it will look better in hardcover then on my ereader.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

A deliciously dark descent back in to the world of Lucifer and an interconnected universe. The is Gothic Graphic Novel Horror at its finest.

A new addition to the Sandman Universe. I personally prefer the original Lucifer spin-off series (written by Mike Carey, Holly Black and Richard Kadrey), but this is still an interesting story. We will be buying a copy for our library.

This simply wasnt for me. Unfortunately I have to give it a star. I just couldnt get into the story.

Was enjoying this but unfortunately I couldn't finish because the app displayed pages as blank and stopped me from being able to enjoy the book

This is the first Lucifer comic I'd ever read. I was familiar with the character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, but I'd never actually read any of the character's solo stories. So, as this volume began, I did feel a bit confused as to what was going on. Watters definitely throws readers into the deep end in this story, but it quickly becomes clear that he has a well-thought-out masterplan that proves to be very accessible for new readers - and very rewarding, I suspect, for longtime readers.

In this story, Lucifer has had a son and has abandoned that son in the past - a fact that was alluded to within "The Sandman Universe #1" one-shot (also included in this volume). To right this wrong, he seeks to reunite the son with his mother. Naturally, things don't go according to plan and Lucifer ends up in a prison he can't escape from, being held hostage by someone from his past with an ax to grind. And when you're the literal devil, that's a lot of people.

The story unfolds in a very interesting way. As I said, it starts off right in the middle of everything, with Lucifer lost in this other world, missing his memories and trying to unravel everything. As the story goes on and the characters all figure out what is going on, the audience is clued in with a series of flashbacks - and a B-plot that ties in directly with the A-plot - and everything unfolds in a very interesting way and ultimately leads to a pretty climactic finale that perfectly sets up the next arc in this ongoing series.

Watters' writing isn't the only highlight of this book, however. Accompanying his writing is artwork from Max Fiumara and Sebastian Fiumara. The artwork from these two definitely elevates Watters' script into something befitting of the devil. The art perfectly builds off of the established features of the Lucifer character - a character designed to be reminiscent of David Bowie - while also adding some new things and perfectly fleshing out the world with gorgeous settings and interesting characters. Watters' script and Max and Sebastian Fiumara's art is a match made in heaven - or, perhaps, in hell.

All in all, this first volume of Lucifer is a great start to this ongoing season. It's a great jumping on point for readers new to the ongoing story of this character and it appears to be a great return to the character for preexisting fans. The story told within this volume is delightful, mixing Christian mythology with The Sandman Universe's narrative flair. It's equal parts moving, suspenseful, and bloody. It's a great book for a great devil.

This book is amazing and the drawings are breathtaking. I loved it and I want to buy the hardcover to see the drawings at their best.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I found this graphic novel particularly engaging. The art was lovely and it was easy to follow as well as adding an extra dimension to the dialogue. This will be a great addition to the Sandman Universe.

Thank you to NetGalley, DC Entertainment, and Vertigo for providing me with an ARC of Lucifer.

Lucifer Vol. 1: The Infernal Comedy is a fantastic graphic novel. The artwork is stunning and the stories are all brilliant.

I am not entirely sure, but I think this is the second in the new Sandman series. I liked this one a lot more than the one focused on Dream. The plot made sense, the art was enjoyable, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Wow! This was a hell of a read (pun intended)! The stories are great, the artwork is superb! Just wow!
