BABYMETAL Reveals A!SMART Variant Cover for APOCRYPHA Graphic Novel


This fall, BABYMETAL will release the original graphic novel APOCRYPHA: THE LEGEND OF BABYMETAL, which will explore the unknown mythology of the group.

To coincide with Comic-Con International, the first of four variant covers has been revealed by Amuse Group USA – a subsidiary of BABYMETAL’s management company Amuse, Inc. – and independent publisher Z2 Comics whose previous collaborators include rock star Dan Auerbach and DJ Paul Oakenfold.

The cover, from the book’s award-winning illustrator GMB Chomichuk, is an exclusive for the online store A!SMART and copies are available for pre-order now. The other three covers will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

When the book was announced in April, Z2 Comics co-publisher Sridhar Reddy cautioned that it was “too early to reveal much” aside from the core concept, in which BABYMETAL assumes alternate forms and identities in order to confront a time-hopping force of darkness intent on bringing about the true apocalypse. Since then, the graphic novel’s social media accounts have been teasing fans with sneak peaks of the art and story.

Now available for pre-order online via Amazon, A!SMART, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million, the book will be in comic book stores and bookstores on October 16, 2018 and retails for $24.99.
