KISS Goes Solo: A House Divided Will Still Rock! - Dec. 14, 2012
Echoing their famous series of 1978 solo albums, legendary rockers KISS take to solo adventures this March in a new miniseries from IDW Publishing. Further exploring the deep mythology that's made the Kings of Rock hold dual citizenship as Kings of Comics, this year, The-Four-Who-Are-One must take up arms alone against a slew of dynamic enemies and evil forces.

Spread out across four dimension-shattering issues, this face-melting slew of hard-rocking comics tectonics kicks off with Kiss Solo: The Demon, a tale starring Gene Simmons' classic alter ego, The Demon! Veteran KISS writer Chris Ryall and fan-favorite KISS artist Angel Medina, rejoining the band for the first time since Kiss: Psycho Circus, weave another tale of epic bombast and explosive rock and paving the way for the accompanying tales of the Starchild, the Celestial, and the Catman!

"We've turned KISS into gangsters, barbarians and teenage girls so far in our KISS comics," said Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer, "but now it's time to give everyone the unfettered KISS over these four issues. Issue one sees The Demon taking on none other than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and no one draws widescreen apocalyptic action better than Angel Medina. It's a thrill to have Angel back in the KISS fold."

In addition to providing full art on issue one, Medina is on board for covers for all four parts of the solo series. To further give longtime fans a bit more, each issue's storyline and title is culled from the original solo album songs, such as issue one's "Radioactive".

Continuing a comics partnership as fruitful as it is sonically booming, the solo series is a must-have for comics fans and members of the KISS Army. After all, rocking 'n' rolling all night and reading comics every day sounds like a pretty solid plan, doesn't it?

KISS is a band of comic-book-type characters (and yes, I'm a fan), but there hasn't really been a decent KISS comic book yet.

Go figure.

I disagree....I thought the Psycho Circus series was very good and the video game was decent as well, though not a big seller. I'm really surprised that they have taken another stab at the video game market.

Gene probably agrees with Steven Tyler's comment about Kiss being a comic book rock band....not unlike how Gene agreed with Carlos Santana's comment about Kiss being entertainers more than they are musicians.

Title was misleading as hell. But I'm glad it didn't mean what I originally thought.

I say this from the bottom of my heart as a classic KISS fan: If you stop buying this shit they'll stop making it. It's as simple as that. If we all work together we can bring this embarrassing and evil corporation down like a Saddam Hussein statue in Firdos Square.

LOL. You got a point. I must be in the minority as all i buy is the music. OK, I STILL have my old KISS lunchbox from the 70's (the one where they are on top of the NY skyline wearing the DESTROYER costumes).
LMAO.
another classic KISS fan here.
I'm AMAZED at the stuff they sell (and STILL sell apparently)

I've turned the corner on Kiss...I used to dislike them but now I kinda dig them and appreciate what they've done. The new album is not very good though imo

I imagine Gene (Greedo) must love to continue to put out the cartoon merchandise, comic books, and wear the make-up on stage because that is the coolest he can ever look now. In real life he's an ugly (you have to admit it) person - both physically and in how he acts. In his mind, the sooner they get the characters running all by themselves - to continue on forever - without the real band, the better. Then he won't even have to play... he'll live on forever - like superman, batman, spiderman... AND THE DEMON.
It's not AT ALL about the music to this DICK.

I remember when the demon was a pro wrestler and he got his ass beat every week, I don't like his odds against the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Is bad. Really really bad. They suck. They really really suck. They are comics. Really really comics. They can't play, they are fake I tell you, fake! This travesty must eradicate itself. But alas....after 40 years,....I doubt it.

I think at this stage, they're either trying to steal that title away from Howard Stern or their sorry asses really think they can conquer all the media avenues. I remember buying the original comic, the one supposedly made with their blood (turns out didn't happen). They're just trying to reclaim their former glory days. Ain't happening. Kiss is like every other band out there struggling for attention in a very competitive stressed out world and against the competition. Sorry, I just fucking hate whats left of them and what they've become and cannot wait until they announce their retirement.

I thought they were actually going to make 4 solo albums again to show off their individual talents. I've never been a big Kiss fan, but if they believed in their band, that would be pretty cool. Also, people here would have material for years to come. Good or bad.
