Coheed and Cambria is one of the more formidable rock bands in the world today, with two gold records under their belt, a new album in the fall, and a rabid, loyal fan-base. The band's frontman, Claudio Sanchez, is known for his ability to craft amazing stories with his lyrics. Now Sanchez is taking those stories and transforming them into comic books in THE AMORY WARS.
Sanchez had this to say: "THE AMORY WARS is the overall title of the mythology that surrounds Coheed and Cambria. Bringing this story to life on the printed page, exactly the way I’ve always envisioned it, is very exciting to me."
Claudio's own Evil Ink Comics has teamed up with Image Comics and 12 Gauge Comics for a June debut. THE AMORY WARS chronicles the life and death of Coheed and Cambria, a young couple who discover their lives have been a lie, that memories have been imprinted on their past, and that their future is tied to a deeper - and perhaps more sinister - purpose within the universe. The series is edited by acclaimed writer David Tischman.
12 Gauge President Keven Gardner said, "This is an exciting project and I'm thrilled that 12 Gauge Comics is working with such a great group. Claudio is an incredibly talented creator and having someone as well-respected as David Tischman at the point assures quality at every step."
Covers are provided by Eisner-award nominated artist Tony Moore.
"I've been a huge fan of Tony's for years and I love the work he's been doing on Fear Agent," Sanchez said. "I feel honored to have someone of his caliber associated with THE AMORY WARS."
With an official launch set for June, THE AMORY WARS is poised to take both the comic book world and the music world by storm. In addition to comic-convention and in-store appearances to promote the series (official announcements coming soon), comic book retail sales will be supported by sales on the nationwide Warped Tour (which Coheed will be headlining) this summer, and through major retailer Hot Topic.
THE AMORY WARS is a five-issue, full-color miniseries debuting this June from Image Comics. For more information on the comic series, please visit Evil Ink Comics.Net and 12 Gauge Comics.Com.
