PORTLAND, Ore. 04/03/2025 — The debut issue of the popular series The Lucky Devils—by New York Times bestselling writer Charles Soule (Undiscovered Country, The Endless Vessel, Star Wars) and critically-acclaimed artist Ryan Browne (Curse Words, God Hates Astronauts)—has sold out completely at the distributor level again. Image Comics will rush the issue back to print this week in order to keep up with rising reorder activity, with a unique cover featuring Ryan Browne’s original pencils for the first issue cover, and a beautiful silver foil incentive variant for the collectors.
“As an indie comics creator, one of the biggest things you worry about is making sure people can find your book—there’s a lot of competition for shelf space and readership,” said Soule. “So, knowing retailers are continuing to support The Lucky Devils the way they have feels magnificent. I’m so happy people will have a chance to find issue 1 at their local shop and take their first steps into our fun, charming little version of hell!”
Browne added: “Another printing?! Beyond blown away by the response to this book and that it keeps finding new people! Huge thanks to the stores that keep ordering it and putting it in discerning readers hands! Exclamation!!!!”
Gremlins meets The Good Place in this new series from the duo behind smash-hit Eight Billion Genies. The Lucky Devils is a tale of two rebellious demons who decide to start a revolution in Hell—and the two ordinary, 20-something humans they’re going to manipulate to do it. A cheeky, satirical look at Good and Evil, The Lucky Devils explores Faustian bargains and temptation in a rip-roaring, hilarious new way.
The Lucky Devils was first announced at New York Comic Con and whipped Eight Billion Genies fans into a flurry of anticipation for Soule and Browne’s new project together.
