With their problems behind them, everything slowly returns to “normal” for Hector and his daughter. But their moment of peace is about to come to an abrupt end as someone comes back into their lives. Someone Hector thought he’d never see again.
Broke and directionless, the three members of the metal band Satanic Hell arrive in Texas for a chance tour set up by a mysterious promoter. Death Priest, Dante, and Exodus quickly find trouble in the bizarre world of Texas, now controlled by a council of religious fanatics. The quixotic tour is Satanic Hell’s last chance to keep their rock’n roll dreams alive but doing so means going through their own version of hell on earth. Can three guys in a metal band save the Holy State from itself and survive? This is the complete seven-issue series of the metal band’s raucous tour through the dystopian Lone Star State. 202 epic pages with added bonus material!
An odd, but humorous mix of religious extremism, metal, and tongue in cheek humor. If you are fan of heavy metal, this is defiantly a book you will enjoy. That being stated if you are religious in any, your odds of enjoying this book aren’t high. Which is sad, cause you will miss on fairly entertaining read. The writing is superb, as it has an equal balance of misfit rebel characters, and religious zealots.
Each artist manage to bring something to different to the series. Yet despite having three artists, they seemed to different parts of the art. However they don’t tell you who did what.All the art is decent throughout though.

It’s deadline day at the small town newspaper, The Wise Progress. Joe Hale the editor and owner struggles with deadlines, writer’s block and supernatural goings on while trying to keep a secret that will change his friends, family and his own life forever.
Choose, to continue in your family’s footsteps, or to sell out? Joe Hale manages to do both, at different points of his life. In some ways he has a mid-life crises as he realizes the newspaper, that was handed down from his father is slowly going bankrupt. As he begins to debate the sale, he decides to go to a concert out of town. In a sort of cliche manner, he meets a younger girl that changes his life.
The comic embraces its independent roots and is done entirely in black and white. That choice honestly really works with story in a sort of brilliant way. The characters are drawn with a degree of realism, that manages to make some of the stranger things in story stand out greatly.
