Lucifer (2018-) Vol. 1: Infernal Comedy

Lucifer, the Prince of Lies and the Bringer of Light, is the protagonist of this one true tale. In a quiet little town, a blind, destitute old man resides in a small boarding house, where nothing is quite as it seems, and no one can leave. Trapped in this bizarre prison, he has no memory of how he arrived or why he is there. Unaware that he set out to find his offspring, a mission that could determine the fate of all things, the old man remains lost and confused.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a police officer who may be battling brain cancer has been tasked with a crucial assignment: to locate and eliminate Lucifer. This high-stakes pursuit is chronicled in the collected issues of Lucifer #1-6 and The Sandman Universe Special #1.

The old man's captivity in the mysterious town is the central focus of this narrative. Stripped of his memories and confined to this peculiar setting, he struggles to understand his predicament and the implications of his missing mission. The town itself is shrouded in enigma, with an unsettling atmosphere that suggests all is not as it appears on the surface.

Amidst this perplexing scenario, the Los Angeles cop's hunt for Lucifer adds an intriguing parallel storyline. Driven by his mission and the possibility of his own deteriorating health, the officer must navigate the complexities of tracking down this enigmatic and powerful figure. The convergence of these two narratives sets the stage for a compelling and potentially cataclysmic confrontation.

The tale of Lucifer's imprisonment and the cop's pursuit offers a captivating exploration of themes such as the nature of memory, the boundaries of reality, and the profound consequences that can arise from the actions of mythic figures. As the story unfolds, the reader is drawn into a world where the lines between truth and deception, freedom and captivity, and the mundane and the extraordinary are constantly blurred.

Through the intertwined narratives, the reader is invited to ponder the motivations and the ultimate fate of both the old man and Lucifer, as well as the broader implications of their respective quests. The collection of Lucifer #1-6 and The Sandman Universe Special #1 presents a rich and multifaceted tale that delves into the complexities of the human condition and the reverberating effects of the supernatural.
