I've been following the Lucifer graphic novel series for a couple of years now, and the is the penultimate edition. It is also one of the best. Like many such things, Lucifer started strong, lulled in the middle but then returned to form by the end. Characters established early in the series play prominant roles in the twists and turns of this gripping story involving the fate of creation (three of them, in fact), which as one reviewer has noted, would serve as an effective end to the series as it is. The characterisation is excellent, with the titular character showing both dependence and manipulation in equal measure. We even get a conversation with God. Can you ask for anymore?
The penultimate chapter - but an ending in itself September 26, 2006

This is the second to last book of the series, but contains events which could easily be described as the climax.
Mike Carey has written an astonishingly well thought out and imaginative epic which, in my opinion, has outstripped its roots (in Neil Gaiman's Sandman).
Carey (and his artistic collaborators) have sustained a narrative arc over 1000 pages of 'comic book' to produce a work which is worthy of the title 'Graphic Novel'.
My only complaint is that the last book will have to be damned special to top this one.
This series is beautifully drawn throughout with tight characterization, great dialogue and more than a few plot twists. I cannot recommend it highly enough, but please start at the beginning, this is not an appropriate place to join the story.
