Our lucky devils have been through hell and back. With one trying to have it all, and the other deep into the revolution. It’s no wonder our humans are so confused. As Collar attempts a hell of a hail Mary, we see how far both sides are willing to go to get what they want.

The Story for The Lucky Devils #8
As Collar gives his human, Cam, one hell of a tour of his home (sorry…the puns are too much fun to stop now), Rake’s human, Starr, continues to reach levels of insane influence. However, Starr is ready to step out on her own with the power of Christ compelling Rake. Meanwhile, Collar and Cam are in it for the long haul together. Now they must get their message out, and there’s no better way to spread the word these days than in the most bro way possible… to the podcast! It’s now Good V. Evil…Devil V. Devil.
The Art
The art in THE LUCKY DEVILS continues to be beautiful, disgusting, detailed, and hilarious. We continue to get moments so detailed they create visceral reactions. Which isn’t always good when a bucket of urine is being poured on someone, but it’s so hilariously done, that I continually find myself cringing and laughing at the same time.
A highlight in issue 8 is Cam’s podcasting moment. It’s an awesome splash page full of so much story in every little detail, all while sucking you completely into what’s happening, and wondering where it’s going to lead.
When the art is as fantastic as the story, that’s when the comic hit levels of perfection. Which is what we have here.

Final Thoughts
My only issue with THE LUCKY DEVILS #8 is that it’s the penultimate issue. This is a 9 issue run, and it’s all about to come to an end. This run has mirrored real life moments and issues, but wrapped them in gruesome and hilarious art and dialogue. All with unexpected twists and turns. Despite not wanting this to end, I can’t wait to see how it all wraps up.
Overall Grade: 10/10
If you haven’t grabbed The Lucky Devils yet, there is no better time, than right before that last issue. Soule and Browne did Eight Billion Genies together which had an amazing ending, so I don’t doubt they’ll nail it again.
