Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists.
I am torn between wanting to go from comics shop to comics shop looking for this comic book ( found out about it on ONTD) or just ordering it through the safe anonymity of the Internet. Considering I don't really know any comics shops around here (at least one that doesn't have a considerable amount of stock that's not Marvel/DC/Image), I might go the Internet way.
Basically, yes, it's published RPF in graphic novel form and having it feature Rollins and Danzig made me LOL but what REALLY made me want it is how they've set it up with Hall & Oates as their evil next-door neighbours. I mean, read this synopsis and just try to talk me out of getting this book:
Starring super-notorious musclebound punk/metaldudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rockdudes Hall and Oates) Henry & Glenn Forever is a love story to end all love stories! The premise of this Cantankerous Titles-released comic is explained at the front of the zine: “Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'room mates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists.” What follows is ultra-metal violence and cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweety-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil-yet so considerate? Well, illustrating/writing team Igloo Tornado (featuring super-awesome comixdude Tom Neely) did and they kicked down 64 fully-illustrated pages with it. Genius on all fronts. Terrifyingly cute. Cutely terrifying. As the real-life Rollins says, quoted on the back cover, “Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be impressed.”
(emphasis mine)
Man, I am so overdue for that Hall & Oates post I've been planning for a few months now.
In the meantime, enjoy this, erm, mashuparody.
