New GWAR OGN The Enormogantic Fail Revisits the Obliteration of Flab Quarv 7
We didn't get that news out of New York Comic Con, but close enough! A new GWAR comic has been announced, a 96-page graphic novel by Matt Maguire, Matt Miner, and more. Called GWAR: The Enormogantic Fail, the comic's story was explained in an update to GWAR: Orgasmageddon Kickstarter backers:
The story's gonna involve the telling of the destruction of Flab Quarv 7 and GWAR's coming to Earth from 7 unique viewpoints, the members of GWAR, as they're interrogated by Sawborg and Bozo Destructo. It's gonna be so much fun and by the end of it, you're guaranteed to see GWAR and the Destructos throw down against Cardinal Syn – it's gonna be glooooorious!
The destruction of Flab Quarv 7 was, of course, previously documented in the song The Obliteration of Glab Quarv 7 on GWAR's 1994 classic, This Toilet Earth. You can listen to it below… but there's a pretty big spoiler at the end, so maybe you want to skip it.
In a press release, writer Matt Miner said:
Well it looks like I'm not quite done with GWAR yet, and I'll be hanging out with that crew long enough for some more dick jokes and blood spray. Always a good time when I can hide from the world in piles of bodies, covered in spew.
And publisher Alexander Finbow:
The opportunity to work with GWAR on this new graphic novel gave us the chance to help create a great story in a collaborative process that respects the band, creators and GWAR fans. The first GWAR comic series was successfully funded through Kickstarter, but the team were keen to try out a different approach this time, one that tied in with some ideas we'd also wanted to try. That's why we created the gwarcomic.com website, a place where GWAR fans can find out easily what the book is all about, and decide whether they want to sign up for the ride.
And Sawborg Destructo:
The time has come once again, human filth, to show your Lords and Masters your undying, but most likely dying, devotion! I Sawborg Destructo commands you to get your pre orders in now for GWAR's new comic The Enormogantic Fail! That's right, get your preorder in today and maybe you'll survive long enough to read it.
