Halestorm and Z2 comics have teamed up to bring you a supernatural horror comic featuring the rock band this Halloween. Twins Brittany and Brianna Winner (the Twin Soul series), artist Sara Scalia, and colorist DJ Alonso will you bring you a tale of terror as the band encounter doppelgangers and other supernatural events as they stay in Hyde Manor trying to record an album. Can they stay sane or will they succumb to the madness of the manor?
The comic is set to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their 2012 EP Hello, It’s Mz Hyde and its ensuing LP, The Strange Case Of… The comic will use the whole discography to tell its tale, so it will have plenty of amazing material to work with. Cofounder and frontwoman Lzzy Hale says
I’m so incredibly excited that this is finally happening… …We are releasing a graphic novel! Penned by our beautiful, badass friends the Winner Twins and featuring a few of our favorite artists, the story takes you down a rabbit hole of good and evil. An epic battle of Darkness vs Light. Is it truth? Is it fantasy? You decide!
Halestorm was founded by siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale in their teens and has since grown into one of the greatest rock bands. Along with Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith they frequently sell out shows around the globe and their new single, “Back from the Dead” hit #1 on rock radio last fall with “The Steeple” closing in on the top 10. Both new singles are from their upcoming album Back From The Dead releasing May 5.
If you haven’t listened to Halestorm before stop reading this and go do it now. This is one of my favorite bands of all time, so I’m very excited for this comic. The artwork looks really good and with how amazing the music is, the story should be really cool too. Hyde Manor will be available in both softcover and hardcover formats, as well as oversized hardcover deluxe, and an oversized hardcover deluxe edition. Alison Sampson provides cover art. Deluxe Editions include gallery-ready prints courtesy of fan artist Egidija Guobyte, as well as a Lzzy Hale/Ms. Hyde two-sided coin, Ms. Hyde special edition Collector’s Card in a plastic frame, and an exclusive Halestorm: Hyde Manor Deck of Cards.
