The Devil Wears Prada develop comic book
Rising metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada are releasing their fictionalised adventures in the form of 'Zombie, The EP Comic'. A limited-edition, traditional-sized comic book, it will be bundled with the band's upcoming 'Zombie' EP, out on 24 August.
The 14-page comic was written by JL Bourne who penned 'Day by Day Armageddon - A Zombie Novel', considered one of the best zombie novels ever written, and tells the story of five combat soldiers, armed with a hi-tech arsenal, on a perilous, top-secret mission in a harrowing world infected with zombies.
'Zombie, The EP Comic', was illustrated by Kevin Mellon, noted for his 2007 book 'Gearhead' which is currently in development as a major motion picture.
"We thought doing a comic book as a companion to the 'Zombie EP' was a natural and fitting idea," said the band's vocalist/frontman Mike Hranica, whose concept for a zombie-themed disc was rooted in his having read 'The Zombie Survival Guide' by Max Books late last year.
"We love that 'Zombie, The EP Comic', is not a CD-booklet, but a full-sized, stylized, superhero comic book that stands on its own."
