One of the greatest literary works. Period.
I've been a fan of Mike Carey's work on Lucifer for some time now, and, everytime I go back to reread any of his series, it never ceases to re-amaze me. This book is disturbing, and not just disturbing in all the grotesque and/or spooky ways that might come to mind, but rather it's disturbing how fond of Satan Carey makes you through this medium. The way Carey writes the Morningstar, you might think that Mike Carey was possessed and is writing all of this from a first-hand account! The eloquence and sheer literary substance in this book is obscene, and with his changing cast of artists and creators from issue to issue, you really feel like you're sampling the best work from every facet of the Vertigo universe. I can't say enough about this title. If there is a real devil, then he would be hard-pressed to be any more cunning, any more ruthless, or any more brilliant than Mike Carey's fictional rendition. Lucifer is one of the greatest literary works of all time.
