Hell hath no fury like its former ruler as VERTIGO's newest ongoing series continues. In a botched effort to thwart Lucifer's plans, the fallen angel-turned-bookstore owner Meleos has inadvertently unleashed the Living Tarot Deck into the world. As the malevolent cards run amok feast on the denizens of Hamburg, an extremely irritable Lucifer comes calling on Meleos...and there's going to be hell to pay.

The Basanos are on the loose in the city, Lucifer makes plans to catch them so that he might bend them to his will and Jill Presto meets a young girl named Innocence, who offers her all the power in the world.
