Slayer: Repentless Issue #1 Available Today! Take a Peek Inside!
During last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, we learned about Slayer: Repentless, a new comic series from the band Slayer and Dark Horse that crosses over with the “Repentless” trilogy of music videos. Well, Issue #1 is out today, and to make sure you haven’t forgotten about it, here’s your reminder in the form of a half-dozen pages of interior art.
About Slayer: Repentless:
Legendary heavy metal band Slayer has teamed up with Metalocalypse writer Jon Schnepp and Twilight Zone artist Guiu Vilanova for the three-issue Dark Horse Comics series Slayer: Repentless, with covers by Eisner Award-winning British comics artist Glenn Fairy.
“It’s been my honor to chronicle the bloody road trip that is the Slayer comic series from Dark Horse/Nuclear Blast,” said writer Schnepp. “Using the band’s music and lyrics from their three decades of albums, while crossing over and through the ‘Repentless’ music videos by BJ McDonnell, I have woven a tale of betrayal, hate, perspective, loyalty, family, and murder that will need to be experienced through the comic books’ pages.”
“We’re telling the story that we’ve always told about society and how humans treat each other,” added Tom Araya of Slayer.
With its story of a raging road trip down a bloodstained highway, a tale of the doomed and the damned, the Slayer: Repentless series is an expansion of Slayer’s “Repentless” videos, written and directed by BJ McDonnell (Hatchet III).
