Scott Ian throwing up the sign of the horns... |
Today was an amazing day for news of future comic book releases. First there was covert agent Venom, and now it has been revealed that Scott Ian of Anthrax will be penning a mini-series starring one of my favorite characters of all time, Etrigan the Demon! The two-part series will be illustrated by none other than Sam Keith. Non-comics fans might recognize his creation, The Maxx, from the awesome 90's MTV cartoon era.

Etrigan the Demon is wicked! Pun intended. Created by comics legend Jack Kirby, Etrigan is the son of the demon Belial, and the half-brother of Merlin. He speaks in rhymes (most of the time - I hope Scott Ian writes him that way), and is bound to Jason Blood, an immortal from the Middle Ages. There is not a release date yet, but Ian promises ancient mythology and lots of violence. Hot damn, it's good to be a comics fan right now!
