With 14 days to go on Kickstarter, AIPT has a preview of Metal Warrior: Getting the Band Back Together. The book features Ben Templesmith as one of the artists contributing alongside Ben Fellowes for the new graphic novel.
So what’s Metal Warrior: Getting the Band Back Together about?
After disappearing from Earth for decades, it is now known that the four intergalactic warriors that make up Metal Warrior were off fighting a thousand-year war billions of light years away. Well…a thousand years their time. It’s…complicated. But thanks to Quanndamm’s Black Blade, Metal Warrior has left the highly inhabited and highly dangerous “Five Galaxies” and traveled through the temporal rifts of the very fabric of the Time Space Dimension Construct (TSDC).
After surviving that and finally coming back together, their reunion nearly killed them. This new graphic novel tells the story of the nefarious villainy Metal Warrior had to face to bring you two brand-new songs: Serenity and Malaçite Smash. Presented here in a special prestige format, this Premium Edition of their first graphic novel is perfect bound, oversized (8” x 12”), and contains a vinyl record exclusive to this edition, featuring the two songs, as well as the songs digitally, and even a special bonus digital track: Peace Love Push & Shove.
Check out the preview below.
