The Concept: Satan's got a plan to conquer Heaven and Earth. By bearing a mortal son, he can reclaim his angelic sword of fire and break free of Hell. Unfortunately, he's been betrayed by his closest advisor, who hid away his other child...a daughter who now holds the key to his defeat. There's only one slight problem... she's not the slightest bit interested in getting involved.

This Issue: "The Scabbard" Conclusion-No more jokes. No more distractions. No more flirting. This issue Ivan does the unthinkable, and there's no coming back from it. The war between Earth and Hell is about to enter its final stage, and if you thought you knew who was on which side... you're wrong. Dead wrong. There's a reason this book is called Defiance, you know... and this issue is it.
