Lucifer #3
This third volume of Mike Carey's acclaimed Lucifer series collects issues #14–20, continuing the saga of the fallen Lightbringer as he navigates a complex web of celestial politics and personal schemes. The story arc 'A Dalliance with the Damned' sees Lucifer Morningstar forging an uneasy alliance with the Basanos, a demonic card deck that can predict the future, while also dealing with the repercussions of his earlier manipulations. Carey's intricate plotting and Peter Gross's detailed artwork deepen the mythos of the Sandman universe spin-off, exploring themes of free will and redemption without ever losing sight of Lucifer's sardonic charm.
In "Triptych 1: The Seeds of Time," Lucifer finds himself drawn into a web of betrayal and divine manipulation as Lord Arux discovers a letter meant for him—intercepted by an unseen hand. With tensions rising in Effrul on the Eve of Candles, Rudd's machinations unfold as he twists fate by forcing Lady Lys to consume the agony of the damned, while Seviram and his allies plot to overthrow Arux and crown Lucifer instead. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross, with inks by Ryan Kelly and colors by Daniel Vozzo and Jamison, this issue builds a chilling atmosphere of moral decay and hidden agendas, all framed by Christopher Moeller’s striking cover.

Lord Arux realizes that someone intercepted his letter for Lucifer in order to have Lucifer present in Effrul on the Eve of Candles. Rudd tricks Lady Lys into ingesting the pure suffering of the damned, filling her with regret and guilt. Seviram and his conspirators attempt to bring down Lord Arux and replace him with Lucifer, but they fail because Rudd had informed Lord Arux of Grieve’s dying words. Lucifer gives Seviram a soul before killing him, so he can spend eternity as one of the damned.
