Kill Audio Issue 2 Chatter

"Humorous, dark and edgy, Sanchez and Echert make a great team."

----Staticechoes.com

"It’s equal parts graffiti on paper, crass humor, creative fantasy, and music commentary. It’s completely like nothing else you’re reading."

----Projectfanboy.com

"Pick up this series from BOOM! and Evil Ink Studios and crank up the stereo."

----PendragonsPost.com

First review of the day

The Outhousers gives KA Issue 2 a 9.5 out of 10!

"It is very reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN, in that it takes abstract concepts and gives them physical form."

Comic Vine Review

COMICVINE gives Kill Audio 4.5 out of 5! Watch the video review here.

Ain't it Cool Kill Audio # 1 Review.

"It's kind of like WIZARD OF OZ if it were envisioned by Hunter S. Thompson. It's Tom Waits singing an Enya song. It's a Pollock painting if Pollock had twelve arms... you can't just say this is a must read book. This is a must experience book."--Aintitcool.com

BCC Follow Up

"If you put “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Nightmare before Christmas” and lots of hallucinogens in a blender, what would come out is “Kill Audio.”

---Lehighvalleylive.com

Amazing time with everyone who came out to Baltimore Comic Con to support Kill Audio. The whole crew had a blast and the turn out was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Huge thanks again to Boom! Studios for all their hard work and for the BCC for putting on a great show.

In the meantime, some gab about the new KA series:

"This is one of the freshest books I have read in years. Mr. Sheldon, his crew and this book are truly ROCK AND ROLL!" --Nathan Fox

(PIGEONS FROM HELL, DMZ)

"KILL AUDIO scratches just the right itch." --Joe Casey

(ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, IRON MAN: THE INEVITABLE)

"This will scrape the dark matter out of the back of your brain and force feed it back to you."

--Richard Starkings

(ELEPHANTMAN, founder of Comicraft)

"This is a disturbing work, and I mean that as a compliment. Anyone who's a fan of THE MAXX or of ROBOT CHICKEN should check this out." --Mark Waid

(IRREDEEMABLE, KINGDOM COME, Editor-in-Chief BOOM STUDIOS)

"Regardless of what KILL AUDIO might have to say, this is a delightfully surreal world we are reading about, and readers are helpless to do anything other than simply run with it."

--The Outhousers.com

"Art-wise... the book is a fucken masterpiece."

--iFanboy.com

"KILL AUDIO is a strange, strange book. It's probably the single oddest thing I've been called upon to review in the four years I've written for IGN Comics. What else is to be expected from the mind of Claudio Sanchez?"

--IGN.com

There will be blood. Oh yes, there will be blood...

Happy Birthday Kill Audio! Drop by and support your local comic shop if you haven't already pre-ordered it. Also, feel free to leave comments or questions here on the first issue when you get your hands on it.

A letter from Claudio

Hello everyone,

With the debut of Kill Audio this week, a new Coheed album in the works, PFI slowly brewing and the end of the year quickly approaching, I wanted to take a second to address Evil Inks other running projects and things you have been asking about.

The second TAW Trade will be coming out in December through Image comics. We wanted to get it out for you guys sooner, but it seems the comic world has it's own calendar sometimes. Nevertheless, there will be some cool extras in it that we will start to unveil when we get a little closer to release. Also, keep in mind that the birth of Kill Audio does not mean for a second that The Amory Wars saga has been shelved or forgotten. In fact, I've been hard at work on a brand new TAW project for almost a year. All we can say now is it's going to be unlike anything Evil Ink has done yet and we think you'll be as excited as I am about it. We'll give you more info around Christmas time.

For the time being, I hope you enjoy Kill Audio when he arrives at your local comic shop tomorrow and let his little troll ass and gang of degenerates into your hearts. I think you'll find the story will keep you on your toes and keep an eye out for Mr. Sheldon's Coheed and TAW easter eggs scattered throughout. There will plenty of catching up with your friendly Amory Wars characters in December and much more to come.

Over and Out-

Claudio

KA Preview book review on Comics Bulletin.

"Kill Audio made its preview debut at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and it has to be one of the most WTF comics I’ve ever read. Really I don’t know where to start. Well, okay, there’s a Goth-punk troll, his name is Kill Audio, and he seems to be on a mission to find his purpose....There is also a pimp chicken who's coked out of his mind, a skeleton that wears a beaver costume, and a pillow who likes basketball. Weird enough for you yet? "--Karyn Pinter

For full review of the preview, click HERE.

The insanity continues October 2009!

Like Coheed? How about KA? Live near Denver?

Meet Coheed and Cambria on the Heaven and Hell Tour for their exclusive signing.

Coheed and Cambria will be signing their incredible DVD, Neverender, prior to their very first performance at RED ROCKS later that night. 5 pairs of tickets to the show will also be given away!

Kill Audio and BOOM! Studios present:

Sanchez to Sign KILL AUDIO Preview Book at Comic-Con '09 and KILL AUDIO Vinyl Figure

Comic Con '09 - BOOM! Studios / Booth #2543

July 13th, 2009 – Los Angeles – Claudio Sanchez, the celebrated creator of the COHEED AND CAMBRIA mythology, including the best selling sci-fi mini-series, THE AMORY WARS, is back with an entirely new concept!

 One of the most unique and powerful minds in rock and comics unleashes possibly the most provocative new comic of 2009: KILL AUDIO!  Shipping this October from BOOM! Studios, fans can get a first look at KILL AUDIO this July at Comic-Con International, when Claudio Sanchez signs the KILL AUDIO PREVIEW BOOK available only at the BOOM! Studios Booth #2543.  In addition to the KILL AUDIO PREVIEW BOOK, fans will also get a chance to purchase the monotone variant of the KILL AUDIO VINYL FIGURE, limited to 1200 pieces. The KILL AUDIO VINYL FIGURE will only be available during signing times.

“This is disturbing work, and I mean that as a compliment,” BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid said. “Anyone who’s a fan of THE MAXX or of Robot Chicken should check this out.”

KILL AUDIO follows the adventures of an immortal little troll who struggles to find purpose in a land where creativity is a controlled substance. When musical creativity spirals into chaos, KILL AUDIO discovers his life mission.

Supported by a wildly eccentric posse and a nemesis hell-bent on proving his mortality, KILL AUDIO takes on non-sensical musical sub-genres while traipsing across a vivid landscape, all of which could only come from the intense mind of Claudio Sanchez.

The KILL AUDIO PREVIEW BOOK and the KILL AUDIO VINYL FIGURE* will be available at the BOOM! Studios booth (#2543) with Claudio signing on Friday and Saturday from 4pm – 5pm.

Written by Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert, KILL AUDIO features mind-melting art by Harvey Nominated Mr. Sheldon with covers by Mr. Sheldon and Kristian Donaldson of DMZ fame. The KILL AUDIO PREVIEW BOOK will sell for $5 while the limited edition monotone variant KILL AUDIO VINYL FIGURE will sell for $40.

*Please note the Vinyl Figure will only be available during signing times.

Mr. Sheldon nominated for Harvey Award.

Congrats to Kill Audio's very own Sheldon Vella for his book Supertron's nomination for a Harvey Award for Best New Series!

Claudio at San Diego Comic Con 2009!

Claudio will be appearing at the San Diego Comic Con this year with 2 signings and a big surprise for Evil Ink fans!

This year's SDCC is from July 22-July 26 and will be at the San Diego convention center as usual.  

Claudio's Signings are at Booth #2543 on Friday and Saturday ONLY from 4:00 - 5:00 so plan accordingly. We can't wait to see our "con family" and hope you can all make it out.

New Jersey signing photos.

Just put a couple Kill Audio NJ Hot Topic Signing pics up in the Photos section.  Thanks again to everyone at HT for making Claudio and KA feel welcome!

Thank you New Jersey!

Huge thank you's to everyone who turned out for the KA Hot Topic signing on Thursday. Claudio had a great time and hopefully so did all of you. We'll get pics up this week so keep checking in.

Hot Topic Kill Audio Signing and Release Event!

Kill Audio on Weeds.

For all you Showtime "Weeds" fans out there (and soon to be fans) you'll find a new addition to Andy's bedroom--our very own Kill Audio!  Tune in to the new season, starting June 8th.  

Chicken Coke Daddy spotted on local farm.

Ok, not really.  But the "silky hen" could definitely pass as his cousin.  Bu-cock!

KA cover sketch idea

When we first started dreaming up possible art for the cover of the premiere Kill Audio issue, we tossed around a lot of different ideas. The sketch above was one go at the idea of a mass of characters piling out of KA's hair. What will the final cover be? Only time will tell.

Coming in 2009.

For those of you that made it to NYCC, you might have seen the tease above.  This week marks the start of Mr. Sheldon getting to work on drawing Kill Audio, which will be coming off the computer screen and into your filthy little paws later this year.  Keep checking back for progress reports, release dates, sketches and all the goods that comic book lovers should expect.  It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

--Evil Ink.
