@VertigoComics is launching a new Lucifer comic on December 16, featuring the character originally created by Neil Gaiman for The Sandman. In order to get new readers oriented about this particular incarnation of the character, we have created a handy guide for getting to know your Devil.

The experiences of an author and former paramedic, Daniel José Older, advisor on @VertigoComics new monthly series, SURVIVORS' CLUB.

Opening Prologue - "Thirteen" The Loom of Stories stretches into infinity, each golden thread glowing with moments of heroism, tragedy, and choice. Mosi Carter, cloaked in his Kwaku Anansi regalia, walks among them. His gaze halts on a single fraying strand. On it, two figures - Burnout and Fairchild - both battered, bloodied, and moments from death. Their hands clutch one another in a broken battlefield, surrounded by fire and silence. A sharp pain jolts through Anansi's chest. Not his pain - theirs. A bond deeper than friendship, deeper than teammates - siblings. The number 13 blazes into the void above them. Mosi Carter (narration): "Some stories hurt when you touch them. This one... burns. But maybe... maybe this time the ending isn't theirs to write alone." He spins his hand over the dying scene, weaving a new golden thread into the tapestry. The blood fades, the battlefield dissolves - and the story rewinds to before it all went wrong. ⸻ Series Premise In this Anansiverse retelling, Genesis 13 follows the rise of the next generation of Gen-Active heroes - the children of the infamous Team 7. The Gen-Factor, a lethal biochemical forged from the DNA of cross-reality nomad Sigma, has turned them into living weapons. The government calls them subjects. The world calls them dangerous. But to each other, they are family. This timeline reshapes history: Burnout (Matthew Callahan) and Caitlin Fairchild are siblings - survivors of an escape from Project: Genesis. Unlike the original Wildstorm timeline, Anansi's thread alters key events: they escape together, discover other Gen-Actives before I.O. can hunt them down, and are united under a reluctant mentor - John Lynch.

After almost a month and a half of knowing Lucifer Morningstar, Detective Chloe Decker still can't accept that Lucifer is the devil. As Chloe struggles with her personal problems, a serial killer keeps the LAPD busy with multiple cases. Amandiel continues to harass Lucifer with "offers" to go back to Hell, and after a bit, Amandiel says, "Dad must have to make you go back by force". What does that mean for not only Chloe, but Linda?

Take a peek inside Chloe Pierce’s notebook to find out what horrors await inside the CLEAN ROOM.

Gail Simone, writer of @VertigoComics’ new horror title CLEAN ROOM, details the unvarnished reality of what it takes to become a comic book professional.

I have decided to switch things up a bit by instead of focusing on one particular fandom, you would be able to ask all my favorite fandoms. The starting 8+ fandoms will be DC Comics, Marvel Comics, anime, manga, creepypasta, Doctor Who, other television shows, and Vertigo comics.
