Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has joined forces with Sumerian Comics to launch a new graphic novel series titled Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction.
A press release describes the graphic novel series as follows: “Set in a neon-drenched Paradise City where humans and robots are meant to co-exist, Appetite for Destruction follows Axl Rose, a half-human, half-robot who lives on the fringes, and finds solace in the music of a back-alley lounge singer. When she vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Axl’s search for answers drags him into a deadly conspiracy, one that could decide the fate of humanity itself.”
Nathan Yocum, Sumerian Comics co-founder and series co-creator, added, “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction is a raw, neon-noir fever dream, part rock anthem, part cyberpunk prophecy. Axl and I built a world where rebellion isn’t just attitude, it’s survival. It’s Axl like you’ve never seen him before, on the front lines of a battle for humanity’s future.”
Along with the story by Rose and Yocum, the graphic novel features art by Frank Mazzoli (DUNE: Edge of a Crysknife, Rebel Moon: Nemesis), colors by Antonio Antro (Hell Is Us, The Offspring: Come Out and Play), and lettering by Micah Myers (American Psycho).
Pre-orders are available now in multiple tiers, ranging from the basic hardcover at $39.99 to a limited super deluxe edition signed by Rose, and featuring numerous goodies, priced at $299.99.
Fans can catch Axl Rose and his Guns N’ Roses bandmates when the iconic rock act kicks off a Latin American tour this Wednesday (October 1st) in San Jose, Costa Rica. Tickets are available here.
