AUTOGRAPH SIGNINGS AT EVIL INK COMICS BOOTH 1312 FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
NEW YORK, NY October 8, 2012 –
Hot off the heels of their announcement at
SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON that MARK WAHLBERG and
STEVE LEVINSON will produce the live-action film version of CLAUDIO SANCHEZ and
COHEED AND CAMBRIA’S sci-fi epic tale, THE AMORY WARS, the band is set to embark on their latest mission from their Launchpad at
NYCC 2012 (Evil Ink Comics booth 1312).
COHEED AND CAMBRIA
are the New York-based, multi-platinum post-punk-metal
band that has developed one of the most devoted fan bases in rock
music. Not only are they zealous anthem-weaving wizards of guitar and
drum, but they are science fiction storytellers from another reality.
Created by songwriter/guitarist/singer
CLAUDIO SANCHEZ. THE AMORY WARS is his Bildungsroman; a cosmic narrative spanning five concept albums, countless comic books, and a novel co-written by
PETER DAVID. It's become a defining tale for hundreds of
thousands of dedicated Coheed fans, who devour and dissect each new
chapter with an ardor to rival followers of Lost or Game of Thrones. THE AFTERMAN is
Sanchez's DOUBLE ALBUM prequel, illuminating the mysterious history of the Amory world.
In Volume I,
THE AFTERMAN: ASCENSION (in stores Oct 9), we witness the
legendary Sirius Amory ascension into the Keywork; a vision of the
afterlife as if created by James Cameron and Dante. In the Keywork,
unshakable episodes of your past
life metastasize and mutate into unforgettable adversaries with names
like Vic the Butcher, Holly Wood the Cracked, and Sentry the Defiant.
Sirius must unlock the secret of the Keywork, and the mysteries of life
itself, to return home for Volume II
THE AFTERMAN: DESCENSION (in stores Feb 2013) -- and to
his true love, Meri. But in the process of his grand discovery, the most
important thing in his life slips through his fingers when Meri dies in
a tragic accident; and Sirius’
only mission left is to make amends. If you think THE AFTERMAN is just
STAR WARS: THE MUSICAL, you're wrong. Imagine BLADERUNNER
paired with DARK SIDE OF THE MOON as covered by Sabbath. It's Odysseus in the Matrix, with a sick solo from a Flying V guitar.
The band plays a sold out show at
NYC’s WEBSTER HALL on Thursday, Oct 11.
The full stream of
THE AFTERMAN premieres today on ROLLINGSTONE.COM.
