Z2 Comics is launching multi-Platinum rock band Skillet's New York Comic Con debut in a big way in support of their brand-new, best-selling graphic novel, “EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel.”

The New York-based publisher began collaborating with musicians to create graphic novels centered on unique stories and exclusive music in 2016 and, with the release of “EDEN” in late August, the book is on the fast-track to becoming Z2's best-selling book of all time.

First up at #NYCC, fans can catch Skillet on the Syfy Wire Live Stage at 12:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, or stream online http://www.syfy.com/nycc or https://www.youtube.com/syfywire.

That afternoon, one of the world's most acclaimed sellers of comics, graphic novels, toys and other collectibles since 1981, NYC's Forbidden Planet, will host Skillet for a signing at 4 p.m.

This rare opportunity to meet the band is open to all Skillet fans, with or without a New York Comic Con badge. RSVP to the event here. 

In addition to #NYCC news, Skillet's current rock track "Legendary" has been tapped as the official theme song for WWE's "RAW" on USA Network. To see the exclusive live footage shot by WWE, click here. 

In support of their latest top-selling project “VICTORIOUS,” Skillet just kicked off the “VICTORIOUS SKY Tour,” a 21-city trek with Alter Bridge, running through Oct. 25. Nov. 6 marks a European headlining jaunt through the remainder of the year, much of which is already sold out, including stops in London, Paris, Hamburg and Budapest.

About Skillet

One of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, two-time Grammy Award-nominated, Pandora Billionaires Club recipients, multi-Platinum Wisconsin quartet Skillet (John Cooper, lead vocals/bass; Korey Cooper, guitar/keys; Jen Ledger, drums/vocals; and Seth Morrison, lead guitar) writes the soundtrack to triumph.

An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, the band not only garnered a pair of Grammy nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but it also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-Platinum “Awake.”

Skillet’s breakout single “Monster” remains one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time with 285 million global audio streams. 2016’s “Unleashed” bowed at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200. Going No. 1 on rock radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went Platinum. Meanwhile, the Gold-certified “Unleashed” became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a Gold, Platinum or double-Platinum status.
