Lucifer may be a "mere" spinoff of the Sandman franchise, but this fallen angel now has the distinction of being the only Sandman character to now have two ongoing series to their name. Vertigo is kicking off a new Lucifer comic just in time for the debut of his TV series. As of yet this book doesn't quite have what it takes to rival previous Lucifer stories, but it offers an entertaining return for the character all the same.
The upcoming TV series is concerning because Fox has taken a grand concept and used it to build the very last thing the TV landscape needs more of - a police procedural. Thankfully, this comic doesn't tie into the show. It's a continuation of the previous volume, though presented in such a way that readers need no knowledge of either that book or Lucifer's early appearances in Sandman. There's just enough of a thematic link here to the show that viewers should probably find it an easy transition. The basic premise is that Lucifer has returned to Earth, diminished in power but eager to partake of the pleasures of sin. Instead, he finds himself partnered with one of his brothers and charged with solving a cosmic murder mystery.
