But I have conceived of a revolution that may surprise even Him."<br><br>Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's <i>The Sandman</i>, the Fallen One begins his own epic journey in this first of two oversize omnibus collections featuring Mike Carey's 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 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. <br><br><i>Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1 </i>collects <i>The Sandman Presents: Lucifer </i>#1-3<i>, Lucifer </i>#1-35<i>, </i>and <i>Lucifer: Nirvana #1 </i>with a foreword by Neil Gaiman and an introduction by Mike Carey, along with an extensive gallery of never-before-seen art from the making of the series.
