UPDATE:

ROCKSTARS by Joe Harris & Megan Hutchison
Fan-favorite Joe Harris (THE X-FILES, SNOWFALL) teams up with artist Megan Hutchison for an all-new, ongoing series a la Almost Famous meets Supernatural called, ROCKSTARS.

ROCKSTARS follows a pair of young, rock 'n roll investigators as they uncover a mystery involving a legendary band, dead groupies, human sacrifice and a supernatural undercurrent connecting so many famous—and even more undiscovered—secrets, myths and conspiracies peppering rock music throughout the ages.

When a pattern of unsolved 'groupie' murders dating back to the 1970s resumes in present-day Los Angeles, nobody makes the connection except for Jackie Mayer, a young rock nerd who not only knows everything about music history, trivia and its myriad secrets and factoids, but also harbors a mysterious, almost magical ability to 'see' what most people miss, and determine and divine what's going unreported.

Joined by a music writer and aspiring investigative reporter named Dorothy Buell, and his loyal cat, Skydog, they soon uncover a vast mystery involving a legendary band's exploits, their mercurial guitarist's occult associations, demonic possession, and sacrifices to the dark gods of rock.

"Rockstars is a story I've wanted to tell since I was a little kid, flipping through old records, trading bootlegs with the older kids in school, sewing patches onto my denim jacket, playing guitar in bands, and absolutely surrendering my imagination to the majesty of rock n' roll music and excess, the crazy culture both within and behind it, and what it means and has meant to fans throughout the years. It's a supernatural investigation into the music I love, the kinds of genre stories I adore, and the kind of larger-than-life figures that always felt so suited to the comics medium."

Each story arc will feature a case sprung from a different rock n' roll era—British Invasion, Punk, 80s Heavy Metal, etc.—and draw on Jackie's unique connection, knowledge, and darkly magical associations to crack them.

The series will launch in Fall 2016.
