Lucifer #17

In "A Dalliance with the Damned [Part 1 of 3]," Lucifer’s realm stirs with quiet tension as Lady Lys takes a dangerous interest in a mortal named Christopher Rudd, while Lord Arux’s plans for Effrul hang in the balance. When a messenger bearing a crucial message to Lucifer is assassinated by a conspiracy led by Seviram, the truth begins to unravel—only for a new warning to be sent across the infernal highways. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross, with inks by Ryan Kelly, colors by Daniel Vozzo and Jamison, and lettering by Comicraft, the cover by Christopher Moeller captures the weight of this shifting power play.
