Coheed and Cambria frontman to unveil Kill Audio at Comic-Con

Chris French on 7/16/09 @ 10:51 AM

Claudio Sanchez, Coheed and Cambria's big-haired frontman, along with BOOM! Studios, will unveil his newest comic book series, Kill Audio, at this year's Comic-Con International (July 23 through July 26). The Kill Audio vinyl will also be available at the showcase. BOOM! Studios will be shipping the new material in October.

The new series from Sanchez follows an immortal troll as he searches for the meaning of life in a land snubbed of creativity.

Kill Audio is the second comic book series from Sanchez. His first, the wildly popular Amory Wars, parallels Coheed and Cambria's music and their four studio releases.
