Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this here comic book, “Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle”. It’s somethin’ special, ya know? It ain’t just some regular comic book. This one here, it’s based on the music of that band, Bad Omens. I reckon ya mighta heard of ’em. They’re one o’ them bands that’s been all over the charts, real big now, like some kinda viral sensation. They’ve got a sound that’s been makin’ waves all over the world, and now, they’re takin’ their music to the pages of a comic book. Ain’t that somethin’?
The story’s tied to their latest album, “The Death of Peace of Mind”. I don’t rightly understand all them fancy words, but I gather it’s a mighty big deal in the music world. Now, this comic book’s got all them dark and gritty themes, just like the album, and it’s callin’ itself “Concrete Jungle”. Sounds like one o’ them places where things ain’t too friendly, if ya ask me. Maybe like a big ol’ city where folks are just tryin’ to survive in a world that ain’t too kind. Real rough around the edges, y’know?
And the artwork, well, let me tell ya, it’s a sight. They’ve got this young feller from Italy, name o’ Bruno Frenda. He done made the cover art for the first issue, and it’s somethin’ to behold. A mix of dark shadows and bright lights, like a jungle in the middle of a concrete city. All them buildings and streets feelin’ like they’re closin’ in on ya, but there’s somethin’ magical in all that mess. Like there’s hope somewhere in the chaos. Ain’t that a nice thought? Makes ya feel like maybe there’s a way outta all this, even if it’s hard to see.
Then, there’s the man Jeremy Wilson. He’s another one of them artists, and he’s got a style all his own. They say he’s award-winning, and I reckon it must be true, ‘cause his hand-painted work on this here comic is somethin’ to remember. He mixes surrealism with old school art, and it fits right into the gritty world o’ “Concrete Jungle”. This ain’t no pretty picture book, mind ya. It’s got a raw, real feel to it. Like the city’s alive, with all them dark corners and back alleys. You can almost smell the dirt and the sweat from the pages. But somehow, it’s still beautiful in a way.
The first issue of this here comic book is gonna be hittin’ the shelves on September 6th, 2023. It’ll cost ya $4.99, and if ya’re lookin’ to get it, ya might wanna pre-order it from your local comic book shop. I reckon there’ll be a few different covers to choose from too. You know how it is, folks like collectin’ all them variants. Might wanna get ’em all if you’re serious ‘bout your comics.
Now, let me tell ya, this comic ain’t just for folks who like comics. It’s for anyone who’s into that deep kinda music and them themes that really make ya think. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trapped in a concrete jungle, where everything’s loud and messy, but you’re just lookin’ for a way to make sense of it all, this comic might just speak to ya. It’s about survival, magic, and maybe even findin’ somethin’ worth fightin’ for, even in the messiest of places.
There’s gonna be four issues in total, so if you’re lookin’ to follow the whole story, well, you’ll have plenty to keep ya busy. Each issue’s got its own special feel, so I reckon it’ll be a wild ride from start to finish. And who knows, maybe you’ll find yourself in that Concrete Jungle too, right alongside the characters tryin’ to make their way through it.
So, if you’re in the mood for somethin’ different, somethin’ a little dark but full of heart, “Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle” might just be what you need. Don’t let it pass ya by, I tell ya. Get yer hands on it when it drops, and see what the buzz is all about. Who knows, it might just be the comic book that changes the way ya think about the world around ya. Like they say, it’s all a jungle out there, but there’s always somethin’ worth fightin’ for, even in the heart of it.
