Oh, no! I really liked the first few Lucifer TPBs...

Like its protagonist, the series just keeps getting worse and worse as time goes on.

And we will call it... "This Land."
On that note, who reads Lucifer? I glanced through the first TPB and it looked well-written.
I've been reading it since the begining. It manages, IMO, to balance abstractness and philosophy with actual storytelling so that it doesn't go off the incoherent end like other Sandman spinoffs have.
There's a decent stable of supporting characters, who often carry a good part of the story themselves since Lucifer can be a little short on the sympathetic/fallible side.
A graphic novel called "Nirvana" came out not too long ago - it's a standalone storyline and it'll give you a taste of the style.

If I wanted a Spike action figure, where's a good place to get one? I don't care if it's mint or if it's a limited variant. I just want a Spike.
Jon, I don't know if this any help but there are some Australian sites that seem to list a few that they have currently, also some new ones that are due in March, and some that are listed as Australian exclusive.
Maybe you could organise with one of us Aussies to get one to you?
some links I found are www.fastbreak.com.au
and figuremania search page type in Spike

Anyone still interested in Lucifer... a new storyline just started this month.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes?
(or did you mean the comic books, acknowledged spawn of the devil since McCarthy?)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Since this is sort of the unofficial comic book thread, I thought I'd ask--I just ordered the Sandman Volume One Preternatural-somthingorother. Was that a good choice for an intro to Sandman?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Preludes and Nocturnes?
I think general consensus is that it's not the best of the Sandman series, but it's still worth reading. The whole thing picks up momentum with the last issue of that collection. "The Sound of Her Wings" (I think, memfault.)
The real problem is that once you start, you can't stop.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
That's a problem?
Preludes & Nocturnes isn't the strongest of the series, but it's such an arcy series that I think it's worth reading them in order.
