Release #1 - FML #1

As Riley and his band become schoolyard pariahs, accused of murder, their daily life turns into a bizarre blend of fear and isolation. The school principal, ever so helpfully, suggests remote learning “to avoid disruption”—because nothing says normal like school over Zoom. Determined to clear their names, the gang finally joins forces with the Whine & Crime ladies, diving into the murky depths of the dark web and past misdeeds. Meanwhile, a dog walk with Dad takes a nosedive when Riley discovers another body, this time in a sinkhole. Cue the clandestine purchase of a burner phone—because reporting a body anonymously is just another Tuesday in Portland. Back at the house, a revelation from Mom about her imagined magical friends sends shockwaves through the group, only to be overshadowed by Amy’s bombshell confession about her past with Kat. In the stunning silence that follows, the phone rings: Riley’s been arrested and charged with murder.

From the Eisner award-winning creators who brought you Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet, and Wonder Woman: Historia comes this genre-busting, apocalyptic odyssey about a group of metal kids who face a medley of bizarre foes and encounters in Portland, Oregon during a worldwide pandemic. Riley is a teen that sketches out his heavy metal future with a ballpoint pen between monster movies and band practice. But musical stardom needs to compete with high school, the temper of a former Riot Grrrl mother, the morbid obsessions of a goth sister, and the eccentricities of bandmates that threaten to drive him and everyone around him insane. The balance gets harder after a ritual during a party in Portland's Forest Park causes him to wake up one day to discover that the creatures, witchcraft, and metal world he's obsessed with may be a bit closer to home than he preferred. • A brand-new creator owned series from the team that brought you Captain Marvel! • Features bonus material exclusive to the single issues only, such as essays on music, true crime, interviews, and more! • Eight issue series.
