A literal deal with the devil is at the heart of "The Wicked Bargain" ($16) by Gabe Cole Novoa. Mar, a transmasculine nonbinary teen pirate, hides their magical abilities, but even that magic isn't enough when El Diablo comes to collect on a deal Mar's father made for the souls of the whole crew. After Mar is rescued by another pirate crew, they're faced with a choice: use their magic to fight back with the help of new allies, or never see their father again.
