Heavy metal is an excellent genre. Heavy Metal is an excellent magazine featuring some of the best/demented artists and storytellers around. We love it when the two mix! Last week, we learned the magazine is releasing a music issue featuring comics based on songs from the likes of artists like Slipknot, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Code Orange, High On Fire, and Mastodon. Additionally, the issue will feature a story from Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small.
Today, we have an exclusive look at 17 pages from the upcoming issue. Here is the description:
“‘Heavy Metal’ has a music festival worthy lineup of song adaptations coming your way! SLIPKNOT’s first appearance in the magazine. Megadeth’s ‘The Skull Beneath The Skin’ written by Tim Seeley. Mastodon get otherworldly with a story written and illustrated by Realm creator, Jeremy Haun. Tenacious D’s ‘Metal’ is coming in hot from God Hates Astronuats creator, Ryan Browne. Alex De Campi & Tony Parker bring you Amon Amarth’s ‘Berserker.’ Other adaptations of Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Code Orange, High on Fire, Ho99o9, Evanescence, and more! Two original stories, one by Metalocalypse creator, Brendon Small & Joe Satriani and a crazy ‘Heavy Metal’ demon comedy fest from Dan Fogler, Burney aka Batdog and Justin Mohlman, The Ghoul Screamer.”
