Lucifer #16

In "Triptych 3 of 3: The Ancestral Deed," Lucifer crafts a world for a man and a woman, offering them life on the condition they worship no one but him. When the man is tempted by a serpent to seek knowledge of good and evil, Lucifer grants it—only to see the commandment broken, leading to a final reckoning. The twist comes when the serpent reveals its true identity as Amenadiel, cloaked in deception. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross with Ryan Kelly, Daniel Vozzo, and Jamison, this issue features a striking cover by Christopher Moeller.
