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.
