Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1 (the Sandman Universe Classics), Carey Mike

His omniscience only works because there are no alternatives. But I have conceived of a revolution that may surprise even Him.

Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaimans The Sandman, the Fallen One begins his own epic journey in this first of two oversize omnibus collections featuring Mike Careys acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated series. Since resigning his throne and abandoning his kingdom, Lucifer Morningstar has filled his days supervising a considerably reduced staff at Lux, Los Angeles most elite piano bar. The arrival of a once-in-an-eternity job offer, however, is about to put an end to his quiet retirement. The contract comes straight from the Creator Himself, and if Lucifer successfully completes his task, the former lord of Hell can name his own price. But negotiating this particular razors edge between opportunity and catastrophe will require all of his legendary subtlety and will--and no small amount of sacrifice. For his part, the Lightbringer is prepared to risk everything to win the power of Heavens reward. The Devils hands have been idle long enough.
