Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has partnered with Sumerian Comics to launch Axl Rose: Appetite For Destruction, a multi-volume graphic novel series now available for exclusive pre-order.
Described as a “neon-noir fever dream, part rock anthem, part cyberpunk prophecy,” the story takes place in a dystopian Paradise City, where humans and robots struggle to coexist. Axl is portrayed as a half-human, half-robot figure who finds solace in the music of a lounge singer—until her mysterious disappearance drags him into a deadly conspiracy that could decide humanity’s fate.
The project was co-created by Nathan Yocum and Axl Rose, with artwork by Frank Mazzoli, colors by Antonio Antro, and lettering by Micah Myers. The series blends cyberpunk aesthetics with the rebellious spirit that has defined Axl for decades.
Pre-orders include access to exclusive collector’s bundles: a map of Paradise City, a commemorative coin, an Axl Rose figurine, and at the highest tier, a signed bookplate by Axl himself.
Sumerian Comics, known for licensed adaptations like The Crow and American Psycho, continues its partnerships with music icons. This project expands Axl Rose’s legacy into a new medium, bridging rock history with futuristic storytelling.
