Devil Wings
After Celestine was killed in the Violator/Badrock storyline her story continued on. Celestine's death made it obvious that angels can die, but where do they go? In Celestine's case she ends up in a place where the inhabitants claim it is hell, but it is more like an insane asylum for the ones neither the Devil nor God want in their kingdoms. Celestine is taken on a tour of the place against her will. Meanwhile Joseph Yallop is attempting to resurrect her on Earth's surface, but some people don't want that to happen... people like Naamah. In the end Celestine meets the ruler of this realm and that being claims it is none other than the Devil herself. Celestine, to her surprise, finds her powers wanting, but what will become of here in this realm?
