This sounds absolutely hysterical! I think your main character(s) should be demons who work for the Hell SEC, who are trying to fight their way through corruption and bureaucracy to stop the bubble before it's too late and a huge quantity of souls are lost to the vile clutches of God in Heaven.
That sounds great. My problem is that I can't think of a good cause for a soul bubble in hell. It'd be good to tie it to some historical event, but what could I say was clearly a failed demonic soul investment scheme?
Why would there be a soul bubble? Well maybe an outbreak of religious revivalism on Earth has restricted the supply of souls available for Hell's consumption. Oh, and some new processing method is making certain demons very rich and pumping too much capital into a market that's fundamentally supply-limited.
This also lets you make jokes at the expense of religious revivalist movements ;-).
