Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has announced he is adapting GnR’s hit album “Appetite for Destruction,” but not how you’d think. Rose is working with Sumerian Comics to launch the cyberpunk graphic novel series “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction.”
“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,” a press release explains.
“Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction is a raw, neon-noir fever dream, part rock anthem, part cyberpunk prophecy,” Nathan Yocum, Sumerian Comics co-founder and series co-creator, said. “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.”
Yocum and Rose co-wrote the story “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction.” Frank Mazzoli (“DUNE: Edge of a Crysknife”) will be handling the art with color by Antonio Antro (“Hell Is Us”), and lettering by Micah Myers (“American Psycho”).
Pre-orders are currently open for a basic hardcover version of “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction.” There are several other packages available including a limited super deluxe edition signed by Rose, pictured below:
