PORTLAND, Ore. 07/03/2025 — New York Times bestselling writer Charles Soule (The Oracle Year, The Endless Vessel, Star Wars) and critically-acclaimed artist Ryan Browne (Curse Words, God Hates Astronauts) are back with the sinfully-good next chapter in their white-hot fantasy-satire, The Lucky Devils. Fans will be introduced to a crucial new character in the upcoming issue #4 and have the chance to catch up on the series with a reprint of The Lucky Devils #3 hitting shelves simultaneously this month.
In The Lucky Devils #4, readers descend to the fourth circle, where the greediest among us end up. Our devilish heroes Collar and Rake have successfully begun their revolutionary plan to destabilize Hell by secretly doing good up on Earth—but the demonic bigwigs are taking notice. They’ve called in a terrifying hunter to find the devils responsible for all this underworld disarray…and this lady is BAD NEWS. What the hell will our lucky little devils do?
“Goddamn, it’s good to be back,” said Soule. “The Lucky Devils #4 took a little longer to get to shelves than we wanted, but we basically had to battle back the forces of hell itself in order to make it happen. The battle’s won, we’re back on track, and I think this is our best issue yet. I’m also thrilled that interest remains strong enough that we’re still selling out and reprinting earlier issues in the series. Ryan and I are so proud of this book, and are so excited to show the readers where the story’s going to go. Hell, as they say, yeah.”
Browne added: “I went through a sudden, and unexplainable health crisis at the end of issue three. I’m better now, and so damn pumped to be back into the world of Collar and Rake. Had one hell of a time making this one sing. Wait’ll you see what’s next and thank you THANK YOU for your patience as I healed and got back on track.”
The Lucky Devils #3, second printing (Lunar Code 0525IM864), The Lucky Devils #4 Cover A by Browne (Lunar Code 0225IM366), and The Lucky Devils #4 by Andrew MacLean (Lunar Code 0225IM367) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 30.
The Lucky Devils is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
