SERIES INSPIRED BY CLAUDIO SANCHEZ’ SOLO MUSIC PROJECT PRIZE FIGHTER INFERNO, CO-WRITTEN WITH STEVE NILES
The Amory Wars creator and Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez launched his new horror comic, “My Brother’s Blood Machine,” a six-issue mini-series loosely based on the debut album from his solo music project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. On “…Blood Machine,” Sanchez teams up with prolific horror author Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, October Faction) and artist Andrew Ritchie (Cthulhu Tales, Necronomicon).
Issue 4 of the New York Times Best Sellers latest tale is available in local comic shops today, January 18th, and is the first title to be released exclusively through Sanchez’ own comic brand, Evil Ink, distributed through Diamond.
From the Diamond listing: “Escaped from her captors and with nothing left to lose, Cecilia returns to town just as Arthur is prepared to make his Man of the Year speech. The Bleam Brothers’ hideaway is discovered and they are prepared to protect the Machine at all costs. Their jubilee has only just begun…”
Sanchez is no stranger to making readers uncomfortable (see: The Amory Wars, Key of Z), and “Blood Machine” takes it up a notch. Deadly, bizarre and beautiful, quirky and horrifying. Prepare yourself for a wild and bloody ride.
He didn’t do it alone. Co-writer Steve Niles has been crafting nightmares for comics, TV and the Silver Screen for two decades… Throw in the perfectly abstract style of artist Andrew Ritchie and grind it all up into My Brother’s Blood Machine.
