Comic book writer Neil Gaiman has recently came under some fire with the upcoming Fox show arriving next year, 'Lucifer.'

The American Family Association took to creating a One Million Mom's petition to get the show canceled before it even airs. In their defense, they believe that the show will perpetuate a false representation of Satan.

Their official statement reads:

"The program previews mischaracterize Satan, departs from true biblical teachings about him, and inaccurately portrays the beliefs of the Christian faith. By choosing to air this show, FOX is disrespecting Christianity and mocking the Bible."

Gaiman has since took to Tumblr to respond to the recent allegations.

In this he states:

"Ah. It seems like only yesterday (but it was 1991) that the 'Concerned Mothers of America' announced that they were boycotting SANDMAN because it contained Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans characters. It was Wanda that upset them most: the idea of a Trans Woman in a comic book... They told us they were organising a boycott of SANDMAN, which they would only stop if we wrote to the American Family Association and promised to reform.

I wonder if they noticed it didn't work last time, either..."

The petition currently has about 72,000 signatures, which isn't near enough to deter a network from airing a show.

Here's the official synopsis for 'Lucifer':

"Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things - wine, women and song - when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him."
