So I'm on a new comic kick lately and it isn't exactly something completely new to me I've just been recently inspired to collect the whole series. I did a quick search and didn't find anything on the forum so I figured I start a new thread.

Is anyone familiar with Evil Ink comics? If not its basically the comic company that is mostly funded by Claudio Sanchez of the epic band Coheed and Cambria. The two main comics produced by EI are "The Amory Wars", which is written by Claudio and is the story that goes along with the bands music and lyrics, the other is "KillAudio" which is written by him and his wife.

Evil Ink also has an exclusive vynil figure of the character KillAudio (Figured this was appropriate considering the forum we are on, lol).

I've read the first volume in the comic series, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, which goes along with their first album of the same name, the graphic novel, No World For Tommorrow, which goes along with the album of the same name, and I just finished reading the novel which is also written by Claudio, Year of the Black Rainbow, which goes along with their latest album of the same name as a prequel to the whole Amory Wars saga.

I've been a fan of the bands music now for quite some time and Claudio is just as talented a writer as he is a musician everything of his I have read has been amazing. So now I'm on a quest to collect all of his different works. I want to read what I have not yet of Amory Wars to see what happens next and KillAudio looks very promising.

Anyway Coheed's music is amazing and I strongly recomend it to anyone who is into progressive rock. The comics are real cool and have one hell of a twisted and awesome storyline, and the novel was amazing and is definately a good starting point for anyone who is new to the series, especially since its a prequel.

If anyone knows of a good place to get the comics cheap or has seen them forsale anywhere it would be appreciated cause they are tough to find especially at a decent price. Also if anyone has any questions I'm always happy to share my knowledge.

And on a final note I leave the Evil Ink thread open to discussion. (Boredom brings much typing, lol).

I am a HUGE CoCa fan but I have not read any of Claudio's work. I am not huge on comics though. Is Year of the Black Rainbow something a guy with no knowledge of the Armory Wars can pick up and understand?

How are you liking Year of the Black Rainbow? Guns of Summer is ridiculous!

Instantcollector,
If you like coca as much as you say you do then pick the book up. Like I mentioned before its actually the prequel to the whole story and explains how the whole war started and how co and ca were created so its a great starting point. Not to mention the music makes way more sense when you know the story behind it. Alot of the weird lines and song names make more sense after reading the book. Most likely you will wanna read everything else after the book to see what happens next. And since you're not much of a comic fan it may help to mention that the comics are pretty short.

Oh and as far as the album, I love it! I really like the broken, we are jugernaut, shattered symphony, and the two bonus tracks, chamberlain and lost shepherd.

My favorite album is still, in keeping secrets, though.

Well the cd, dvd, hardcover set runs around 45 bucks so you may want to keep an eye out for the paperback that just came out, it runs about 18 bucks and comes with a downloadable copy of the cd but it will be a limited run. Amazon has it for sure. So far barnes and noble and borders no luck, me and animal crazy tried today.

Thats cool I appreciate it. I've bben doing some research online and I don't think getting them will be too much trouble. The only one thats gonna be tough is the Second stage turbine blade vol. 1. Its going for about 45 bux on Amazon. Does anyone know any good sites to buy comics from that carry TPBs?

make sure you see what cover it has. Hot Topic had an exclusive cover for the TPB and i know it goes for a little more.

You know I've noticed two different covers for vol.1 but I wasnt sure if that was accurate or not. Doesn't one have the original issue 1 cover with coheed slicing heads and the other kinda has a co, ca, wilhem and deftinwolf? Covers dont really matter to me I would just like to get everything in TPB if possible and for reasonable prices.

I almost forgot to share my recent come up. So I've been shopping everywhere for volume one of amory wars and it was such a pain finding it since its been out of print so damn long. Almost everywhere I find it online it goes for like $50 and thats if they aren't sold out. So I checked Ebay a second time and someone had a copy up buy it now and it was autographed by claudio sanchez. Its legit too, looked up his sig on google. Aparently it shipping from a comic store in tampa, FL where claudio did a signing so the guy has quite a few. Best part was the price though, $35 shipped!


Now that is luck if I ever beleived in it.
