An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our culture's impacted gridlock of 's like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. 'The best B movie I've read in at least twenty years. Sandman Slim is my kind of hero.'-Kim Harrison Crisp world building, recognizable and fully-realized characters, and a refreshingly unique storytelling style make for an absorbing read. 'Nicotine and octane in equal parts might come close to the high-energy buzz from Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim. I couldn't put it down.'-Charlaine Harris Green wrote an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter, it would read much like Sandman Slim - violent, vivid, non-stop action of the supernatural kind. I loved this book and all its screwed-up people.'-Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother all confident and energetic and fresh and angry. 'The most hard-boiled piece of supernatural fiction I've ever had the pleasure of reading. a lot like a mosh pit - rough, exuberant, unpredictable - and a heck of a lot of fun.'-Miami Herald Rich, group editor of Vertigo, included Tom King (THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON), Joshua Williamson (FROSTBITE), Scott Snyder (AMERICAN VAMPIRE ANTHOLOGY) and Tim Seeley (THE LOST BOYS), with a special message from John Ridley (THE AMERICAN WAY: THOSE ABOVE AND THOSE BELOW).'Sarcastic, irreverent and ridiculously enjoyable riff on the Urban Fantasy genre. “I feel incredibly lucky to have written Lucifer’s return to comics and now I feel equally lucky getting to kick back and read what happens next.” “I’ve been a fan of Richard’s since Sandman Slim and I can’t imagine anyone more perfectly suited to take up the infernal reins of LUCIFER,” says Black. The issue is a darkly festive and irreverent ode to the joy of seasonal sin and twisted Secret Santas. I’m going to do my best to live up to their high demonic standards.”Īnnounced last month, Kadrey will join Black for LUCIFER #13 this December, with a holiday special that’s naughty, nice and everything in between. And I love where Holly has taken the story and characters. “Mike Carey’s run on the series was a beautiful thing. “I’m both thrilled and a little intimidated to be taking over LUCIFER,” said Kadrey.

Holly Black, the popular young adult author who has currently been writing LUCIFER, will be leaving the title in January.

Today at New York Comic Con’s Vertigo panel, it was announced that New York Times best-selling author Richard Kadrey ( Sandman Slim) will take over writing duties on LUCIFER.
