KISS Goes Solo!

A House Divided will Still Rock!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Diego, CA (December 12,
2012) - Echoing their famous series of 1978 solo albums, this
March, legendary rockers KISS take to solo
adventures in a new miniseries from IDW Publishing! Further
exploring the deep mythology that's made the Kings of Rock hold
dual citizenship as Kings of Comics, this year,
The-Four-Who-Are-One must take up arms alone against a slew of
dynamic enemies and evil forces.
Spread out across four dimension-shattering issues, this
face-melting slew of hard-rocking comics tectonics kicks off with
KISS SOLO: THE DEMON, a tale starring Gene
Simmons' classic alter ego, The Demon! Veteran
KISS writer Chris Ryall and
fan-favorite Kiss artist Angel Medina,
rejoining the band for the first time since Kiss: Psycho
Circus, weave another tale of epic bombast
and explosive rock and paving the way for the accompanying tales of
the Starchild, the Celestial, and the Catman!
"We've turned KISS into gangsters, barbarians and teenage girls so
far in our KISS comics," said Chris Ryall, IDW's
Chief Creative Officer, "but now it's time to give everyone the
unfettered KISS over these four issues. Issue one sees the Demon
taking on none other than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and
no one draws widescreen apocalyptic action better than Angel
Medina. It's a thrill to have Angel back in the KISS fold."
In addition to providing full art on issue one, Medina is on board
for covers for all four parts of the solo series. To further give
longtime fans a bit more, each issue's storyline and title is
culled from the original solo album songs, such as issue one's
"Radioactive."
Continuing a comics partnership as fruitful as it is sonically
booming, the solo series is a must-have for comics fans and members
of the KISS Army. After all, rocking 'n' rolling
all night and reading comics every day sounds like a pretty solid
plan, doesn't it?
KISS SOLO: THE DEMON (FC, 32 pages, $3.99). In
