As for Lucifer and his ability to die, here's a more complete picture of what you posted some scans of. Some of it supports the idea that perhaps Lucifer could die, and some of it casts more doubt.
Recap: The Basanos (Plot-device incarnate) nearly kill Lucifer by burning him up. His wings (the source of his power) are almost entirely burned. The remaining two unburned fall out.
Evidence for death being possible

Elaine: "Will he die? I don't think I could bear it if he died"
Meleos: "He is made of will, as your father Michael is made of power. He might survive in spite of everything. I have been doing what little I could to mend him. Because if he dies, something terrible is going to happen."

Lucifer is on the brink of death. Any action could send him one way or the other.

Among other things, Lucifer: "I intend to surive this" (i.e. it's possible I could not?)

God: "Did I not tell you that your brother Lucifer was given over to destruction? That if only Heaven held its hand, he would surely die, and all his works come to naught?"
(Michael started a chain of events that caused Elaine to save Lucifer) Pretty ambiguous, but yeah, I think some of this is supportive of Lucifer being able to die... Under optimal circumstances.

Elaine: "You're not going to answer my question, are you" (will he die?)
Meleos: "Where the flame goes, wood turns to charcoal, water to steam, flesh into ash. But he is not flesh, and you are not flesh."

Meleos: "When God made the world, the first thing he created was the host of heaven, beginning with your father, Michael -- and Lucifer." "For everything else that was made, they were his intermediaries"
For everything else that was made, they were his intermediaries

Death: "You and Michael were his first big ideas. You came out pretty much undiluted"
Would those two statements not mean that it was Lucifer and Michael that created abstracts such as the Endless? It's a grey area for sure.
Through all of this though, Lucifer was powerless. Perhaps that is the only reason he could die

Lucifer: "Meleos -- in my wings, there should have been two feathers untouched by the flame. Did you find them?"

Lucifer: "They absorbed most of my power and essence when I burned"

Meleos: "Then you're powerless without the feathers? Lucifer, you've destroyed me. You've destroyed us all." Hm, all of these scenes are also pretty ambiguous, but I still don't really see how any of it suggests that Lucifer is death-proof..?
Sidenote: Lucifer and Death's 'chat' is one of the best scenes of dialogue I've ever read. droolio
