Connection To Other Works
The depiction of the angels and their city is similar to the depiction in Gaiman's earlier The Sandman series of the Silver City and its angelic inhabitants, but there is nothing to say that the two are the same. (Particularly in light of the fact that the subsequent comic-book adaptation of "Murder Mysteries" was published by a different company.) Also, in this story Azazel is presented as an angel, but in Sandman it is strongly implied that Azazel is a demon who was never a fallen angel. However, the events in the story provide a rationale for Lucifer's eventual revolt against the Presence. At the end of the story Lucifer leaves dissatisfied with the justice of the conclusion.
