Z2 Comics and Skillet Return to Eden this Fall

Z2’s fall lineup continues as they’ve announced a second collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated rockers Skillet . They’ll return to the post-apocalyptic world of Eden, as established in their 2019 graphic novel debut of the same name.

Eden II: The Aftermath pairs Random Shock Studios with Skillet frontman John Cooper and his Eden artist Chris Hunt in October of this year.

Two editions will again be available; both the standard and limited deluxe edition, the details of which will be revealed within the coming weeks. The deluxe edition is formatted to sit perfectly next to the previous volume on the bookshelf of every discerning rock fan or comic book reader. Both are available for preorder now through the Z2 website.

Z2 Comics Presents: Making Music in Graphic Novels

Saturday, October 5 
7:45 pm-8:45 pm Room 1A24

What is a graphic album? Z2 Comics, in working with the likes of Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Japanese kawaii-metal phenomenons BABYMETAL, Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Beirsack and pop-internet enigma Poppy have pioneered the marriage of comics with music. The pairing of some of the finest talents in comics with groundbreaking and legendary musicians has led to a rich, immersive experience that pushes the possibilities of what both comics and music can do. 

Z2 Comics Partners with Skillet for Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel

Coming on the heels of Apocrypha: The Legend Of BabyMetal and the upcoming The Ghost Of Ohio graphic novel, Z2 Comics has announced their next title is a collaborative partnership with multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated rockers Skillet. Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel is based on an original story idea created by Skillet frontman John Cooper alongside the creative team of Z2 Comics: Josh Frankel and Sridhar Reddy. Writers Alex Paknadel and Dan Watters of Random Shock Studios are writing the comic with Cooper. Artist Chris Hunt created the cover and will be working on the pages of the comic scheduled for release late Summer 2019.

The story of Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel follows the two main characters of John and Korey (based on the real life Coopers). To save their family and town they must uncover the mystery of what lies behind the dreams of a prophecy that threaten to consume them. They set out on a quest that will take them through the barren wastelands and gleaming cities of a near-future Tennessee. Bandmates Seth Morrison and Jen Ledger are also focal characters in the story about survival, determination and strength of personal beliefs. Fans can pre-order the standard edition of Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel. A deluxe edition of Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel, available for $99.99 and limited to 1000 copies, is autographed by John Cooper and comes in a large, coffee table bound edition with four exclusive prints.
