	Lucifer
		From the viewpoint of the Christian tradition, Lucifer is seen as having been second in command to God himself; he was the highest archangel in heaven, but he was motivated by pride and greed to rebel against God and was cast out of heaven, followed by a third of the host of heaven.
		Lucifer is a poetic name for the "morning star", a close translation of the Greek eosphoros, the "Dawn-bringer", which appears in the Odyssey and in Hesiod's Theogony.
		Lucifer was supposed to shine so bright because it wanted to take over the thrones or status of Saturn and Jupiter, both of which were considered most important by the worshippers of planetary dieties at the time.

	Lucifer: Devil in the Gateway - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Lucifer, bored, agreed; for his trouble, he requested from the Almighty a "letter of passage" — a document that would allow Lucifer to return to the realm of his choice, either Heaven or Hell.
		Nor is Lucifer the Spectre, the superheroic manifestation of God's wrath that appears regularly in the mainstream DC Universe.
		The sole concession from DC to Johnny-come-latelys is a trade paperback, Lucifer: Devil in the Gateway, which is due in May and compiles the initial mini-series and the first four issues of the ongoing series.

	Fanzing 48 - September 2002 - The Mount
		I speak of "Lucifer", a comic that started off as a spin-off of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series and has, over the last three years, evolved into a worthy replacement of that legendary series.
		The events of this battle are detailed in a three part Lucifer mini-series, now available along with the first four issues of the current monthly series in the ("Lucifer: Devil in the Gateway") Trade-Paperback.
		DC characters are used here in fan art and fiction in accordance with their generous "fair use" policies.

	The religion of Lucifer
		Lucifer obviously made a decision and dealt with the consequences of that decision, but Gaiman points out that leaving Heaven was not the last decision Lucifer can, or would, make.
		I'd also have to go for Lucifer, which uses the biblical backstory as it's underpinning, asking many of the same questions as Preacher about the nature of God, and whether he loves his creations or is indifferent, as well as how we should feel about that.
		DC's the co that made all these characters, so it seems very unfair to not be able to use them.

		This issue, the focus falls on deceased angel Elaine Belloc and her friend Mona, the former of whom has been very helpful to Lucifer and who is a likable and intelligent character anyway, and who has paid for her kindness with tragedy.
		Elaine's story is not as light as that of Mona's, exploring what has happened to the life she left behind, but there's still some sweetness in her getting to say goodbye to her friends or getting to twist the knife a little in her would-be assassin, who has earned an ironic punishment.
		Lucifer has several artists on its regular team, but the editors do occasionally bring in guest talent, and this was a perfect occasion for it.

		Leaving his immortality and power at the door, Lucifer walks into a labyrinth of traps and treachery where the only thing more dangerous than failure is success.
		Now, as Lucifer labors in his new-formed garden of Eden, schemes and plots are growing among those left behind in the old world - particularly in Hell, where the minor lords of the damned play at a human masquerade, hoping to use the power of the Morningstar to further their own infernal ends.
		The full measure of Lucifer's strength still waits to be returned to him, hidden within two feathers taken from his angel's wings and spirited away by a vengeful god.

	Lucifer (DC Comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beneath his charisma, however, Lucifer is a deadly and Machiavellian character, with no regard for human life or indeed anyone or anything but himself: a proud and vindictive fallen angel who has no qualms using powers second only to those of his father, Yahweh.
		As the series opened in 1999, Lucifer's "restful" retirement was disturbed by a series of associates from his past, and after various catalytic events, he endeavored to create a universe in competition with (and presumably against the wishes of) his father, Yahweh.
		The links to DC universe are very sparse, consisting of mainly Lucifer at one point during "Gods and monsters" storyline leaving to the end of the universe and shown referencing Jack Kirby's New Gods mythology, via the Wall and the Source.

	The Unofficial Lucifer Morningstar Biography
		Lucifer was a wise, caring and passionate angel and ultimately that was what brought about his downfall.
		Lucifer had to kill the voiceless gods, forgotten deities from a time when men were not advanced enough to imagine anything better than dark clouds as deities.
		Lucifer could not enter Izanami's realm with his powers and his immortality, so he had to leave that at the door, so to speak.

		As the title suggests, the book falls Lucifer, the fallen angel who was exiled to Hell.
		When Heaven asks Lucifer for a favor that only he can provide, though, it sets in motion a series of events that even now are still spinning towards a conclusion that only Lucifer understands.
		Carey wisely has never made Lucifer a "good guy", but instead has several times put him into a situation where it seems that Lucifer is helping others, when in reality he's just helping himself.

	Sequential Tart: Read This or Die - Lucifer (vol VII/iss 4/April 2004)
		Lucifer cares about Lucifer and everything and everyone else is there for him to use as a means to his ends and no more.
		Lucifer shows the reader one of the most multi-layered and soul chillingly cold portraits of what evil really is ever conceived.
		Perhaps Mike Carey's Lucifer really is, as one grimly-focused immortal self-styled instrument of justice describes him, "a monster who looks out upon the universe and sees nothing but a box of tools." But the stories that he uses those tools to construct are nearly always oddly compelling, usually in incongruous and unexpected ways.

	Welcome to Slushfactory.com: A Pop Culture Extravaganza
		We hope to offer to the reader a number of comics they might not be reading, and perhaps give them good reasons to start doing so.
		Less a doctrinaire lesson of dogma or scripture this is a thoughtful work that considers the paradigms of hell and heavens and the consequences of various issues of faith and reason.
		While it is true that I find myself an enormous fan of the current work and was a fan of the Legion 20 years ago, the time spent between now and then was largely filled with the suffering a fan goes through when people who do not share your love of the characters takes over.

		When we last saw Lucifer Morningstar, in the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, he was the owner and chief performer of Lux, a piano bar.
		DC has been looking to spinoff something from Sandman for quite some time now, or at least something that could stand up to its source material.
		Lucifer is exactly what you would want him to be, like I said above: the original opportunist.

	The religion of the Phantom Stranger (DC Comics)
		The Phantom Stranger is a powerful and mysterious DC Comics character John Broome, Carmine Infantino and Sy Barry.
		In some stories he seems to be answerable to a mysterious Voice, implied to be God, although within the DC Universe mysterious benign Voices (such as the one responsible for Hawk and Dove's origin) are usually identified as the Lords of Order (albeit not always at the time of their original introduction).
		Lucifer is Latin for Lightbearer and most of the other Angels have Hebrew names AND in the Book of Job, it's pretty clear that Satan is one of the Angels (host of heaven), not a fallen or rebellious angel.

		It's the kind of scale that Lucifer should be operating on, and it's delivered in all its artistic glory by Peter Gross and Ryan Kelly, making their already-impressive world-building from Books of Magic look like simply a warm-up for the main event here in Lucifer.
		And their interpretation of Death, Lucifer and Elaine, among others, has a range of emotional expression that is very impressive.
		Lucifer is a grand epic tale in the tradition of Sandman or Preacher, with a creative team that ranks among Vertigo's finest.

		The strength of his protagonist is a very useful resource in that regard, as his machinations provide a central hub for the others to project from.
		And even while Lucifer seems many steps ahead of everyone, there is foreshadowing that suggests that all those other agendas are more than mere fodder for his plans.
		Lucifer’s goal is power, true, but he’s seeking power over himself, a power he thinks that God has denied him.

		Earlier this year, Dan DiDio, Quesada's counterpart at DC Comics, hinted at two upcoming gay-oriented events that are part of DC's attempts to improve diversity in their comics.
		DC Comics' mature readers imprint, Vertigo, also has some gay and lesbian characters.
		In the recently concluded series Lucifer, written by Mike Carey, a lesbian relationship was funnily and tenderly used to give a finger to the sanctimonious angels, while an earlier gay-bashing conducted by a closeted character was handled in a very mature and non-Manichaean way.

	Characters of The Sandman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Lucifer is the character you don't want to like, but you can't help yourself from doing so because, unlike the throne of Heaven, Lucifer is much more like us.
		Lucifer first appeared in the critically acclaimed Sandman series, and like its source, is very racey for a comic book featuring nudity and swearing, right up my alley for someone who prefers R rated horror films if only out of curiosity and familiarity with the R rated- 18 and over.
		Now, these are not your typical virgin 12 year old kiddie comics, DC published the Vertigo imprint for mature readers to suit a variety of literary tastes.

		Carey succeeds because the focus of the series is not so much on Lucifer's dealings with mortals, but with the forces of heaven, hell, and other spiritual realms.
		So since the book is told from Lucifer's point of view, and because he just seems so much smarter and more capable than anyone working against him, it becomes much easier to accept him as the lead of the book.
		The reader never really roots for Lucifer, but I found myself fascinated and intrigued by how each scheme would play itself out, and how he would outsmart his opponents.

	Paul Levitz: Living In An Amazing World
		All of the comics industry was in the NY metro area, except for a small office Western maintained in LA doing licensed titles, and virtually all the 200 or so creative people in the field were clustered around NY as a result in those pre-fax/FedEx/Internet days.
		I don’t think it was to get DC into the “fanzine business” because I don’t think it was ever much of a business...but as Junior Achievement it was a fabulous experience, and I think all of us who worked on it got the chance to do some work we’re very proud of decades later.
		While there were many such questionable moments at all the comic companies of the time, it remained accepted practice for a long time, and most the conflicts had as much or more to do with creative issues as economic ones.

		Between each major story arc in Lucifer, Carey has delivered a self-contained story introducing players and regions in the divine drama and revisiting secondary characters in need of greater attention.
		After thirty-three issues (thirty-seven including the miniseries), it is easy to forget that Lucifer began as a spin-off from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, but these self-contained stories serve as a subtle reminder.

		He hasn't appeared much in recent comics, outside popping up in a Post-Crisis story in the 80s, and a mention in a recent Books of Magic series (which, of course, isn't really in DC continuity).
		This is a story that should work exceptionally well in the comic format, though it could potentially get a little graphic towards the end for some younger readers.
