Axl Rose to launch graphic novel series

The comic series focuses on GNR’s Appetite for Destruction

Legendary Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has teamed up with Sumerian to launch a new multi-volume graphic novel series, Axl Rose: Appetite For Destruction.

Set in a neon-drenched Paradise City where humans and robots are meant to co-exist, Appetite For Destruction follows Axl Rose, a half-human, half-robot who lives on the fringes and finds solace in the music of a back-alley lounge singer. When she vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Axl’s search for answers drags him into a deadly conspiracy, one that could decide the fate of humanity itself.

Created by Nathan Yocum and Axl Rose, with art by Frank Mazzoli (Dune: Edge Of A Crysknife, Rebel Moon: Nemesis), colors by Antonio Antro (Hell Is Us, The Offspring: Come Out And Play), and lettering by Micah Myers (American Psycho), the series blends cyberpunk worldbuilding with the spirit of rebellion that has defined Axl Rose for decades.

Fans who pre-order will have access to a range of exclusive bundles available only at sumeriancomics.com. Collectibles include a map of Paradise City, a Collector’s Coin, an Axl Rose figurine, and — at the most limited tier — an Axl Rose signed bookplate.

Sumerian Comics, founded in 2020 by Nathan Yocum and Ryan Swanson, is an American publisher based in Nashville, Tennessee. Formerly known as Behemoth Comics, the company sells over 500,000 comics annually and ranked eighth in total market share in 2021.
