Soule and Browne reteaming on THE LUCKY DEVILS

1 month ago 5

Image Comics have announced Eight Billion Genies and Curse Words writer Charles Soule and artist Ryan Browne are teaming up again, this time for The Lucky Devils. A satirical fantasy adventure, the nine-part series follows two young people, who make a deal with the devils on their shoulders to become wealthier and more successful, inadvertently becoming the world’s most powerful people in the process.

The Lucky Devils is a tale of two ordinary, good-hearted, 20-something Chicagoans who begin working with the devils on their shoulders in an attempt to fix their broken lives. It works beyond their wildest dreams, and in time they become two of the most powerful people on earth. While they fully intend to use that influence to make the world a better place, we all know what they say about the road to Hell…

A dark, hilarious satire about the struggle to do good in a world that makes it so easy to be bad, The Lucky Devils is an examination of everything that makes humanity both grand and terrible from two of comics’ most unique storytellers.

The pair will have more to say about the series ahead of its debut on January 8, at Image’s New York Comic Con panel Breaking Ground on Sunday, at 11 am in room 406.2. In the meantime, Soule and Browne both describe The Lucky Devils as being a spiritual successor to Eight Billion Genies in the press release, with Soule saying, “what Genies did for wishing and desire, Devils does for Faustian bargains and humanity’s struggle with temptation. Not to mention I get to see Ryan draw hundreds of hilariously badass little demons — unbeatable. In The Lucky Devils, it’s good to be bad. I can’t wait for people to check it out this January.”
