You're going to have to clarify this for me.

Not in Vertigo. Wasn't interested.
Tell me something cuz' I've either missed it or haven't read it yet: Did Lucifer still tempt Eve in this rendition?
Quote:
"Sin" has very little to do with Gaiman's or Carey's plots. Quite the opposite for Carey: Lucifer kills a large percentage of the population of Beijing in one story simaply as a means of dealing with a threat. And no consequence, only a few mild words from Michael. And then 15 issues or so later he destroys a realm with millions of souls just to honour a debt. No consequences, because by that stage God has quit being God.
In the first volume, Lucifer made a point of showing that "lies and coercion" would impede on his mission. I think this shows that sin carries weight in this universe. Though, as a juxtaposition, those are puzzling.

You haven't read the series, have you?
Not lately. I'm going off the first three TPBs. I find though that my arguments only need that much, unless Carey prolly deviated from his own plot....Which I'm beginning to think is what happened.

The first story arc merely sets the scene for the balance of the plot. And in the context of he and Rachel's search, lies and coercion would not have assisted. But there are Lucifer's usual stock in trade, as implied.
I happened to read issue 60 over lunch two days ago, and not having read beyond the 6th tpb, I'm totally lost. Certainly not a good jumping on point for new readers.

I like Yorick because he's a whiny screw up. He's probably what I'd be like in the same situation.
Only with an accent.
