They're 100s of pages each. It's a hell of a weekend read to do them all at once. :)
Check these out:
You can get the entire series divided into five volumes. https://www.amazon.com/Lucifer-Book-One-Mike-Carey/dp/1401240267/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517934201&sr=8-1&keywords=lucifer+book+1
If you haven't already, you should read the comic that Lucifer (the tv show) is "based" off of.
The TV show is a very, very... very loose adaptation, but the comic sounds right up your alley.
Read the Mike Carey series, based on the Neil Gaiman character. Start here
> same starting point completely different everything
Yeah pretty much. the comics are completely different. the only thing they have taken from the comics are a few character names. ( Maze, Amenadiel, Lucifer.) These Characters in the Comics look different and have drastically different personalities. The comics ARE NOT a police procedural. The Human show characters ( Chloe, Trixie, Dan, Linda Martin, Ella, Malcom etc.) Do not exist in the comics. The Devil doesn't have a therapist! Lucifer is also a lot more powerful in the comics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_(DC_Comics)#Powers_and_abilities
Some people say you have to read Sandman first. I didn't and was able to understand what was happening. If you start with the Lucifer comic https://www.amazon.ca/Lucifer-Book-One-Mike-Carey/dp/1401240267/ref=sr_1_2ie=UTF8&qid=1483290863&sr=8-2&keywords=Lucifer I would recommend getting these books as it ensures you read the comics in the right order.
This is as comic spoiler free as possible but assumes you've watched season 1 of the show.
The comic starts off with an introduction and you are in darkness. Then we meet a human character. Then we end up at Lux. Amenadiel shows up. Like in the show but he wants something different. An agreement is made. And from here your off into a story that has absolutely nothing to do with the show. However like in the show Lucifer does not have his wings. This becomes a major plot point later and SPOILER ALERT they weren't stolen by a human.
What I've described here ( being purposely vague) is from The Morningstar Option. If you read Online start Here: http://www.readcomics.tv/the-sandman-presents-lucifer/chapter-1
Read all three issues and then go to: http://www.readcomics.tv/lucifer/chapter-1
STOP at issue 16 and go read Nirvana.
http://www.readcomics.tv/lucifer-nirvana/chapter-1
this is a oneshot that is important for Character development.
Then you can read from issue 17 on to the end.
There is also the new 2016 ongoing series. http://www.readcomics.tv/lucifer-2016/chapter-1
But make sure to finish the original run first.
I don't think someone's enjoyment of the Fox show can determine if they will like the comic. But since you like supernatural I think you will like the comics. Do you like Spn Lucifer and/or the heaven and hell stuff? Do you like it when Spn gets Philosophical. If yes than you should enjoy the comics. Kripke got inspiration for supernatural from Sandman and Hellblazer. Also if you like spn Lucifer as in Season 5 and Endverse You should like the comics.
I hope this helps. :)
One last side note. In the comics don't worry about the way Mazikeen speaks. It doesn't last long and due to certain events she starts speaking normal.
Please read and enjoy the comics. :)
Lucifer
Lucifer is the spin off of neil gaiman's "sandman" comics. And legitimately my favorite comic ever written.
personally, I can't watch the show because its not even sort of close to the books in any way, and I'm a giant ass fan of the books.
First step is to figure out what characters you think you might like, then find out what the recommended reading is for those characters.
The sidebar is a good resource for that.
My person recommendations:
Batman: Death of the Family: You can't go wrong with Batman, and this is a great Joker story. It is the third Volume of Batman New52, this collects Issues #13-17. #1-13 is also worth your time if you're a Batman fan.
Batman Eternal Vol.1: A great on-going series, following the wake of Forever Evil, which was a recent big event.
Green Arrow: The Kill Machine: Vol. 4 of Green Arrow New52, this collects #17-24, and is a great arc, Vol. 5 Outsiders War collects #25-31 and is also amazing. Other essential Green Arrow books: Year One, Longbow Hunters.
Flashpoint: This is a large scale book, it is the event that led to the creation of the New52 universe, worth checking out, but if you want to save time, there is an animated DC movie that covers this story pretty reliably. Justice League: War is another decent DC movie which covers Vol. 1 of Justice League new52.
Stories outside of the New52 world:
Batman: The Killing Joke: an amazing Batman/Joker story from Watchmen writer Alan Moore.
The Flash: Rebirth: This is an essential pre-new52 Flash story that covers Barry Allens return to comics after being dead for a very long time.
Kingdom Come: A very interesting older book. Good story, and unique art.
Injustice: Year One: This is a comic based on the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us, but it has turned into so much more. Absolutely amazing on-going elseworlds book.
If you're looking for darker themed books, check out:
Hellblazer, Vol. 1 Original Sins: Very different from classic hero comics, in this series Constantine deals with magic, demons, etc.
The Sandman Vol. 1 Preludes & Nocturnes: Another great book, this follows the story of Dream, younger brother of Death, and sibling to the other Endless.
Lucifer: Book One: Lucifer Morningstar started out as a side character in Sandman, but received his own book later. This series begins where his character left off in Sandman, having resigned his post and abandoning his kingdom of Hell he lies low on Earth, however things change when he receives an offer from his father, God himself.
I'll add some more if I think of anything, or if you even find this helpful. I imagine it is pretty overwhelming. Good luck.
Definitely! Here's the first book, which has the first 13 issues and some additional back story on Lucifer.
You can always. . . sail the seven seas to find .cbr files, if you're a right ship mate. Avast me mateys, yo ho.
I'm glad it helped - I've been reading Vertigo books since there was a Vertigo imprint, so I figure I should make use of the time spent by giving my advice!
And, again, it is just advice - I'm a huge Mike Carey fan boy so your mileage may vary with Lucifer. Speaking of Lucifer though, if you actually buy the comics you read, they just started re-releasing the series in large trades. Book Two just came out this month - they're nice, I recommend them.

Fiction, but...if you want to read about Lucifer...
I got you dude
Lucifer, Hellblazer (Constantine), and American Gods (as well as other works) all operate under the larger Sandman universe created by Neil Gaiman. Start there for a good primer and to get a better idea of how the greater cosmos works in this. Sandman also sets up why Lucifer left Hell and why he's on Earth, though that doesn't happen until the Season of Mists arc of Sandman.
It's not as silly as superhero comics: all of the characters are based on older myths and the arcs have a specific purpose and the story has a specific end in mind.
Lucifer (the comic) follows the Sandman cosmos in scale and characterization, while American Gods is a smaller story with somewhat smaller characters, and Hellblazer wanders off a bit to establish a different pantheon, but it's still heavily influenced by the greater Sandman mythos. There are others that I haven't delved into in a while and can't remember as clearly, like Books of Magic and Anansi Boys.
Vertigo comics in general are a good source for these kinds of stories.
Keep in mind that Lucifer in the comics is a vastly different character. Don't get me wrong, I like the actor and the character they've created for the show, but he doesn't fit into the original mold at all. The story in the show is incredibly simplified and the scale and pacing are greatly diminished, to make for a serialized TV show. They tend to make Lucifer out to be a character from Supernatural, when the original story shows a completely different character. Be ready for that change.

Lucifer was a spinoff of the Sandman series and I think you can get the collection on Amazon:
You can also find the entire collection on the piratebay.
You'll need a torrent program and you'll need to make sure your security settings are set up correctly.
You'll need a comic reader if you want to read it on your computer:
