Lucifer (2000) (Old Trades)
This dark fantasy series follows Lucifer Morningstar after he abandons Hell. He opens a piano bar in Los Angeles, but his past and the machinations of Heaven and Hell continually pull him into cosmic conflicts. The series explores free will, destiny, and the nature of good and evil within a mythological framework.
The Lucifer comic series is a spin-off from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, with Lucifer Morningstar first appearing as a character in that seminal series before getting his own ongoing title.
There is a television series titled Lucifer that draws inspiration from the comic books, though it takes significant creative liberties with the source material and its narrative.
The series is best read in the order of its collected editions, which typically group story arcs chronologically. Starting with the first collected volume is essential to follow Lucifer's journey after abandoning Hell.
