(W) Amy Chu (A/CA) Kewber Baal. KISS is back! Back to the FUTURE in this dark sci-fi adventure. In a world without sun and a world without heroes* four young friends embark on a dangerous mission - to uncover the truth about the mysterious Council of Elders and their underground home* the city of Blackwell. But first they need some help from the past... "What is the power of KISS? I was having breakfast recently with the fabulous writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. When she found out I was writing this series* it was like firecrackers had been set off in the restaurant* she was so excited. So I'm doing this not just for the hardcore fans (like Kelly Sue) but also the new ones* like her children. It's a huge challenge for me. KISS is iconic. Legendary. It's global and cross-generational. So much has been done before with KISS in comics* a LOT of fun and crazy stuff. So for this series* I thought* why not go more serious? For research* I hunkered down and listened to the 1981 album Music from The Elder several times. Like the movie Blade Runner which came out around the same time* people didn't know what to make of it. If this album came out now* I think it would be entirely different reception. So this storyline is more focused on mythology* h
