Spiritbox Unite with Z2 Comics for Eternal Blue: A Spiritbox

Following their formation in 2017, Canadian quartet Spiritbox has continually possessed the charts with its dynamic blend of metal and block-leveling live shows. The group will now channel the story behind its 2021 debut LP, Eternal Blue in a new graphic novel co-created alongside veteran comic scribe Jim Krueger and artist Amilcar Pinna. The graphic novel unspools the eerie tale of Eva, a brilliant painter on the verge of unbelievable acclaim and success. But her inability to reconcile her public perception with her true self allows a Spiritbox—a device used to communicate with the dead—to transport her to an ethereal world. Here, she finds herself trapped in a realm where false shadows become real and dangerous.

Ushering the cursed device from the pages of Eternal Blue: A Spiritbox Graphic Novel to reality, deluxe versions of the book will include a fully functional Spiritbox replica. This machine cycles through the radio frequency spectrum, creating a web of white noise that lost souls harness to communicate from beyond the veil. This limited edition Spiritbox is a precise replica of the mysterious artifact that allows Eva to escape from the shadow world. When activated, the box gives off a blue glow as it emits the noises of the spirit world. From the top of the box, an image of Eva is projected onto the ceiling.

Z2 and Spiritbox present Eternal Blue: A Spiritbox Graphic Novel by writer Jim Krueger, artist Amilcar Pinna, and colorist Treonna Farrell in both softcover and hardcover formats, with covers courtesy Justin Cherry available in comic shops, as well as deluxe, super deluxe, and platinum editions packaged with a Spiritbox device, exclusive vinyl variant LP of Eternal Blue, gallery-ready prints by Jason Levesque, and more available exclusively through Z2’s webstore.

No Ghosts in Hiroshima is Out this June from Scout Comics

Hell doesn’t always come in a hand basket; sometimes it comes in a briefcase. Guilt is the greatest ghost of them all. For James Henricherson, the guilt of a mistake made many years ago continues to haunt him. It dogs his every move. It keeps him from sleeping. He believes he has condemned an innocent soul to eternal suffering and pain. And he has worked for years to invent a way to free this soul from Hell itself. But Henricherson’s attempts and his theoretical success has stirred the condemned souls of Hell, who see this as a way to get power in Hell.

Gabriel’s quest to fulfill his mentor’s last request takes him and his girlfriend onto the California Highway (Route 666), where they find that they are being followed and threatened by demons who make ‘Road Rage’ seem like a walk in the park. While on the run, they discover that they may hold the key to escaping Hell itself.

Gabriel is convinced that the men searching for the secrets of his former mentor’s experiments are no men at all. They are demons hellbent on getting their hands on what they believe could indeed be an escape from Hell. And while his quest takes him from the city of Los Angeles to the forests of San Francisco, there is no escape from the shadow of the damned that reaches out for him. And all those who try to help him!

No Ghosts in Hiroshima is from writers Jim Krueger and J. Luigi Borrillo featuring art by Alberto Rios, lettering by Dave Lanphear, and colorist Zach Brunner. It’s edited by Andrea Lorenzo Molinari, featuring a cover by Brunner, and being published by Scout Comics.
