Written and illustrated by Drew Hayes, the story deepens the series' blend of dark fantasy, offbeat humor, and gritty character dynamics as Ith confronts new enemies and old debts. A key installment for fans of the indie comic scene of the late 1990s.
In "The Last Temptation of Lusiphur," the powerful Elf Sorcerer Tenth confronts Lusiphur in a deadly duel, driven by suspicion and pride after sensing a drain on his magic following a wish granted by a genie. Written, drawn, and inked by Drew Hayes, this 1997 issue from Sirius Entertainment blends high-stakes fantasy with personal rivalry, all rendered in Hayes’ distinctive style. The cover, by Janine Johnston, captures the tension with striking detail.
In "The Last Temptation of Lusiphur," the mischievous elf Lusiphur stumbles into a dangerous summoning, awakening the alluring genie Anhkikiahl—only to be killed and reborn in her presence, bound by her power to grant him three wishes.
In "Tenth's Game," the mighty Elf Sorcerer Tenth confronts Lusiphur in a high-stakes duel after sensing his magic has been siphoned by a genie’s wish. Driven by pride and the need to reclaim his strength, Tenth pushes Lusiphur to the edge—where the line between challenge and survival blurs.
In "In Fear of Fear," Widowmaker, a relentless E'jja assassin who once lost a crucial wish to a genie, returns with a cold fury—determined not only to reclaim Lusiphur’s stolen wish but to make him pay for the humiliation. The story unfolds as a tense, shadow-drenched pursuit across shifting realms, where every step brings the past closer to catching up.
In "Cohesions - July 17th, 1514," a single page unfolds a richly detailed snapshot of the Poison Elves universe, mapping out the whereabouts of familiar and unknown figures on a pivotal date. With subtle hints woven through the imagery and text, the story suggests unseen forces are aligning across the world, setting the stage for what’s to come.
