Here’s another great new offering from Heavy Metal…an Iron Maiden mini-series. I don’t know why there hasn’t been comics based off the artwork of their albums before now. Their album covers are some of the most striking graphic images from that age.
“When dark forces conspire to corrupt the fabric of reality, Eddie’s immortal soul is shattered and strewn across the cosmos, his unbound essence corrupting countless worlds. Now, a weakened, primal Eddie must journey across space and time to battle the twisted legions of The Beast, seek out the lost shards of his soul, and bring order to the realms. With each victory, and with the aid of old friends, Eddie will restore his fearsome powers as he draws ever closer to facing the Unholy foe behind his fall – and thwarting a plot to unravel all of Creation. The first official Iron Maiden comic series, based on the band’s hit mobile role playing game, Iron Maiden: Legacy Of The Beast, where players battle as Eddie across the many worlds of Iron Maiden’s discography, from the ancient sands of Powerslave to the far future of the Final Frontier.”
