Slayer Releasing New Comic Book

(Classic Rock) Slayer are working with publisher Dark Horse on a three-part comic book title based on their revenge-themed videos for songs Repentless and You Against You - which share a story arc written by director BJ McDonnell. The first issue, Slayer: Repentless Volume 1, is due out later this year.

Guitarist Kerry King tells Rolling Stone: "I think of the songs I write as stories. And if nothing else, they are certainly visual. BJ managed to string it all together so it made sense."

The comic's writer Jon Schnepp describes the story as "a road journey - like a road movie of horror - and it goes across many states. It isn't a mystical or supernatural story. It's a straight-up human story of terror." Read more here.
