This Halloween, Z2 Comics and Grammy-winning rock band Halestorm will be adapting the band's songs into comic books for the Hyde Manor graphic novel, described as "a harrowing descent into one woman's fight with the darkest parts of herself" as Halestorm seek refuge in the Hyde Manor—a sprawling gothic estate perched on the remote end of the Oregon Coast Writer twins Brittany and Brianna Winner (of the Twin Soul series), artist Sara Scalia, and colourist DJ Alonso are creating the book. The cover is by friend of Bleeding Cool, Alison Sampson.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 2012 EP Hello, It's Mz Hyde and its ensuing LP, The Strange Case Of…, the Hyde Manor graphic novel depicts the members of Halestorm encountering sinister doppelgangers of themselves. Within the decrepit halls of Hyde Manor, mirror reflections independently talk back and photographs transform to reveal sordid prophecies, leading the band to slowly succumb to madness while recording a new album. The tale creaks and twists with doom-filled revelations, perfectly tied to Halestorm's scorching discography.
