In this one-shot by Warpton Press, Lucifer goes
into a confessional and shows the priest what he
says is the true reason he got kicked out of
heaven and that he's sick of existing and wants to
kill himself. This presents the Priest with a
problem. Do you believe this man? And if you
do, what do you do about his desire to kill
himself, because if there's to be a God there has
to be a Satan, too, to balance things out?
Overall, the story is very interesting. The art,
however, puts me off. It's not that it's bad art.
I think it is the fact that the inking is
inconsistent throughout the book that does it for me.
I thought that maybe it was the fact that I had
a black and white preview copy that the inking
looked so wonky at times, but I looked at the
scans of the final colored product and it looks
about the same.
Like I said, though, the story is interesting and
the take on the Devil is different. It's worth
looking into just for that. You can check it out
Warpton's site,

interested in seeing what some of it looks like
and judging for yourself.
