==== ''Faction Paradox: Hellscape'' ====

The audio story ''[[Lucifer (audio story)|Lucifer]]'' was written and performed by [[Trevor Spencer]] and released by BBV Productions under the subtitle ''Faction Paradox: Hellscape'' on [[1 January (releases)|1 January]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]]. While BBV continued to use the ''Faction Paradox'' logo on further ''[[Hellscape (audio series)|Hellscape]]'' releases,<ref>{{cite web

Two issues of [[Faction Paradox (2003)|a bimonthly ''Faction Paradox'' comic]] were produced by [[Mad Norwegian Press]] and published by [[Image Comics]] in the latter half of [[2003 (releases)|2003]]. Each issue had a central, 16-page comic along with shorter, illustrated text stories. The main comic story was an ongoing one, so the early cancellation of the title meant that the story was never finished. It was set after the end of the [[War in Heaven]] and acted as a prequel to ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]''; the ''[[The Faction Paradox Protocols|Faction Paradox Protocols]]'' audio stories ''[[Sabbath Dei (audio story)|Sabbath Dei]]'' and ''[[In the Year of the Cat (audio story)|In the Year of the Cat]]'' were intended to be prequels to the comic, although they were ultimately released first.<ref name="Downtime" />
