Dark Horse Comics will release the first of three comics based on Slayer's brutal music videos from the album Repentless on January 25.
The three intertwined video clips, which each contain explicit gore throughout, were written and directed by B.J. McDonnell (Hatchet III) and the comics (titled Slayer: Repentless) were scripted by director/producer Jon Schnepp (Metalocalypse, The Venture Bros).
Twilight Zone artist Guiu Vilanova created the inside artwork, while Eisner Award-winning British comics artist Glenn Fabry drew issue#1’s cover and Eric Powell (The Goon, Hillbilly) created a variant cover.
Slayer released Repentless in 2015. It was the band’s 12th studio album and first without guitarist Jeff Hanneman.
The comic can be pre-ordered from http://nblast.de/SlayerNB
