Since resigining his throne and abandoning his kingdom, Lucifer Morningstar has filled his days supervising a considerably reduced staff at Lux, Los Angeles' most elist 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 he successfully completes the task the former lord of Hell can name his own price. But negotiating this particular razor's 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 Heaven's reward. The Devil's hands have been idle long enough.

Few have turned adversity to advantage on a scale comparable to Lucifer Morningstar. After gaining entry to a realm outside of his own Creator's dominion - and defending it against a host of would be usurpers - the former Lord of Hell has achieved his greatest ambition, the creation of a new universe in which his will is absolute.

Now, after settling the last of his terrestrial (and infernal) obligations, Lucifer has turned to the familiar task of gathering souls. But in contrast to his previous charges, immigrants to his new cosmos will receive freedom instead of torment. The only law by which they must abide is that they never bow down in worship - to anyone.

Not all who pass through Lucifer's gates are content to honour those terms, however. And as proud as he is of his achievement, Lucifer should know better than anyone that pride goeth before a fall.

Collects LUCIFER #14-28 and LUCIFER: NIRVANA.

After building his new universe in the void outside of this Father's Creation, Lucifer Morningstar has populated his realm and defeated the powers who sought to cliam it as their own. But this effort has cost him dearly, and the scope of his accomplishments belies his fragile state. The full measure of his strength remains bound within two feathers taken from his angel's wings - two feathers that rest in the hands of a humiliated and vengeful god. Until that strength is restored, the Lightbringer is exposed and vulnerable.

Unfortunately, he also has obligations that will not wait. Even in his diminished state, the terms of a formal duel with an angel of the Host must be honoured, and his debt to the half-angel Elaine Belloc must be repaid. The Devil always keeps his word, even if it means utter destructions - for himself, or, more likely, for any who oppose him.

Collects Lucifer #29-45.

So laments the Heavenly host, left behind by God to ponder His departure. For their elder brother Lucifer Morningstar, however, the disappearance of Yahweh brings to mind a more practical concern - survival, both for himself and, secondarily, his Father's creation.

As chaos rushes to fill the vacuum of God's absence, those who mark themselves as wronged by Heaven prepare to storm the Primum Mobile and smash its palaces to rubble. But even if the angels of the Silver City can hold their walls, they cannot defend them against the greater threat that has just awoken, hungry to fulfill the terrible dictates of its nature. Only Lucifer can see what is coming to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and what will happen at its roots when it arrives. The Hour of the Wolf is at hand, and its echoes threaten to shatter the foundations of Lucifer's cosmos as well as our own.

That, the Lightbringer will not allow.

Collects Lucifer #46-61.

War has come to Heaven. A new host, born of Lilith, marches against the Silver City, and Lucifer Morningstar must descend into his former realm to find an army willing to defend the holy walls. But the Lightbringer's powers are waning, and hell has a new king - one who is not at all sympathetic to Lucifer's cause.

As the chaos spreads across two creations, sinking worlds into despair and bleeding their souls into the void, the champions of light will make their last stand on the plain of Armageddon: a fallen angel, a demon, and a human woman facing down the wolf of destruction and an immortal army that cannot be numbered.

The odds are hopeless. For the First of the Fallen, however, victory promises freedom - the ultimate freedom to choose his own fate. For that, he will risk everything - and everyone - in existence.

Speak of the devil.

Once he was the Morningstar, first and most beautiful of the heavenly host. Then he ruled over Hell, until he gave up his kingdom to pursue his absent Father. Finally, after tracking down and confronting the Alpha and Omega, he left our universe behind - apparently forever.

But now Lucifer is back - wounded and weakened, but suave and savvy as ever. And he's about to be handed the biggest mystery in the history of Creation: God has been found dead, and the Lightbringer is the prime suspect in his murder.

To clear his name and reclaim his throne, Lucifer must solve this Deicide himself. But even with help from the disgraced archangel Gabriel, the task is daunting. To maintain the status quo in both Heaven and Hell, angeld and demons alike are determined to pin the crime upon the First of the Fallen - but it will be a cold day in either realm before the Devil fails to get his due.

After being wrongfully accused of deicide by his angelic brethren, the Prince of Hell undertook an epic quest through the cosmos to clear his name. Now he wants nothing more than to retire to his Los Angeles club, Ex Lux, and drown the world’s sorrows one drink at a time.

With the throne of Heaven still vacant, archangels are turning on each other in an effort to seize their absent Father’s crown. And since the Lightbringer has no desire to revisit his former kingdom, a vicious power struggle has erupted in the infernal realm, as well.

Caught between chaos above and below, Earth has never been more vulnerable. In order to keep his terrestrial retreat safe from collateral damage, Lucifer must reluctantly rejoin the fight for control over Creation. But as the battle rages, the aftershocks from his Father’s demise are growing stronger -- and making it clear that some fates really are worse than death.

The Prince of Darkness is missing, and from the look of things he's not coming back. Blind, crippled, and without a penny to his name, the onetime ruler of Hell is now a wizened, unkempt old man trapped in a small town where sinister forces torment him at every turn and nothing is as it seems. He has no memory of how he got here, no hope of escape, and no way to track down his child--the only entity capable of preventing the end of the world.

At the same time, a police officer in Lucifer's adopted hometown of Los Angeles is about to lose everything he holds dear. Desperate to find a reason for his suffering, Detective John Decker is drawn into a shadowy conspiracy whose widely varied members share a single common purpose: to kill Lucifer Morningstar.

With monsters and magicians from every plane of reality set against him, can the Lightbringer heal his broken mind and body and regain his wrongful place in the cosmos?

God is angry. Lucifer has committed an unthinkable act of sacrilege, and now the forces of Heaven have left him with nowhere to turn but the lands of the dead.

Much has changed since Lucifer's last visit to his former kingdom. Meanwhile: a cherub appears in a motel room, a witch queen walks the Earth for the first time in millennia, and Mazikeen gets to break a finger or two. Plus, things in Hell are heating up with too many potential leaders as Mazikeen prepares to fend off a usurper with assistance from an unexpected ally. But with Heaven and Hell so engrossed in their own affairs, who's keeping track of what's happening on Earth?
