System Of A Down Drummer John Dolmayan Announces New Comic Book Series “Dead Samurai”

System Of A Down’s John Dolmayan has announced a new comic book series titled “Dead Samurai.” The first issue will be released on October 9 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.

The drummer commented:

“With ‘Dead Samurai’, I’ve had the chance to combine two things I love: feudal Japan and zombies! I hope people enjoy the adventure!”

Here’s a description of the comic:

“In 16th century feudal Japan, a leprosy-based infection that penetrates the brain has turned millions of humans into cannibalistic creatures devoid of morality or memory. A half-Japanese, half-Portuguese Samurai named Shinzu has failed to defend his Daimyo and his family from danger. Shamed beyond redemption, he resigns himself to seppuku (ritual suicide). Before he has a chance, he discovers the Daimyo’s youngest daughter has survived!

With a regained sense of purpose and a way to regain his honor, he sets off on a quest to find a safe haven for his ward. Dead Samurai is a Three Musketeers-esque story of duty and honor, as well as personal sacrifice and friendship.”
