Axl Rose has launched a new cyberpunk graphic novel, Appetite For Destruction.
The Guns N'Roses' frontman announced this project, and will see him join forces with Sumerian Comics, which also shares its name with the band's 1987 album.
A synopsis read: “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".
Comprising of 108 pages overall, Appetite For Destruction is available to pre order now, and is expected to arrive in January next year. The book is available in five tiers, with the top package featuring a signed bookplate by Axl Rose, figurine collector's coin and more. It also includes artwork from Frank Muzzoli, colours by Antonio Antro and lettering by Micah Myers.
The standard edition is also priced at $39.99.
It was co written by Axl Rose as well as Sumerian co founder Nathan Yocum, who said: “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".
