Welcome my friends to The Lucky Devils #3, where it is abundantly clear that “Some Devils just want to watch Hell burn!” 

Official Synopsis: 
The third circle of Hell is where they stick the gluttons—the folks who just want more! That’s how you’ll feel when you read the next installment of this infernally delectable title from the creators of EIGHT BILLION GENIES! Cam Stane and Starr Winslow have seen their lives greatly improve since they began working with their shoulder devils, Collar and Rake. But enough is never enough, and the higher they go, the more temptation they face. PLUS: two devils make out at a beatnik bar!

Creative Team:
Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: Ryan Browne
Colorists: Ryan Browne & Kevin Knipstein
Letterer: Christopher Crank

So far, here is what we have learned: Hell is indeed real and it is a perverse, and twisted version of our own world. On the brighter side, we are told Humankind is naturally good, but the Devil on your shoulder could be real, and it might try to corrupt you using one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Finally let us not forget about the five-pointed stars of the show, Collar and Rake, who are definitely not happy with their lot in life and will do anything to get ahead, even if it means tearing Hell apart in the process.

In the latest installment of The Lucky Devils, we start off by learning a little bit of the history between our counter-culture “friends”, Collar and Rake. After this short flashback, we return to the present where their master plan appears to be producing fruit.

Our Earthly pals, Starr and Cameron, are both moving up in the world, thanks to the help of their respective Devils. They have influence over roughly a thousand people a piece, but the problem with this is that they are still good at their core, and it is disrupting the design of Hell. This has started causing all sorts of chaos there, and it just so happens that the higher-ups are starting to take notice.

The Dynamic Devilish Duo, and by that I mean Charles Soul and Ryan Browne, are pumping on all cylinders here. Their depiction of Hell and it denizens continues to get more entertaining (and disgusting), and oddly this has brought a bit of humanity and relatability to it. Once again, I found myself at the end of the issue cursing, not because I am being influenced by a Devil, but because it was over, leaving me longing for the moment I get to continue this adventure!
