Massive Signing Tour And Exclusive Covers For GWAR: Orgasmageddon Announced

 
A massive signing tour and a raft of retailer exclusive covers for GWAR: Orgasmageddon has been announced, invading comic shops over the course of their 4 issue comic books series published by Dynamite.
The signing tour kicks off this week on June 7th with the arrival of the first issue, for the series about the heavy metal band by the same name, written by Matt Miner (Toe Tag Riot, Critical Hit), drawn by Jonathan Brandon Sawyer (Welcome Back, Critical Hit), colored by Marissa Louise (RoboCop, Escape from New York), lettered by Taylor Esposito (Batman Eternal, Red Hood and the Outlaws) and edited by Brendan Wright (Archie vs. Predator, Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight).

You can check out Comicon.com’s recent interview with Matt Miner about the series right here.
GWAR is a music group who has “drenched the music and film world in gore, humor, and political/social satire for 30 years”, and now these comics bring the world of the band to new fans and longtime followers alike.

Series co-writer Matt Miner says:

You already love bonkers fun comics about dinosaurs, giant robots, monsters, aliens, and enough blood spew to drown drown a small nation anyways, so you’re gonna love the GWAR book.  It’s written as a perfect jumping-on point for people unfamiliar with the band, but still has enough juicy tidbits to make the die-hard fans go ‘oh yeah, I remember that awesome thing!
