2021 might be the year of Helloween. They released their self-titled album, Helloween, to rave reviews. Now they’re teaming up with Incendium for the launch of Seekers of the Seven Keys. The supernatural horror-fantasy comic book explores the cast of characters from the various album covers of the German Power Metal band. They’re also releasing action figures inspired by the cover artwork and the lore of the band’s lyrics. You can grab: The Keeper of the Seven Keys, The Witch, and Jack O. Lantern in the first wave.
Incendium’s OPUS imprint brings the new comic from writer Joe Harris and artist Axel Medellin. The cover art comes from Santi Casas. Here’s the synopsis of the new Comic.
In Seekers of the Seven Keys, the mystical Seven Keys have been lost, and the Keeper wants them back. But he’s not the only one looking. And when teenage siblings stumble upon the quest, they embark on a 1980s-style science-fiction, fantasy adventure filled with the horror tropes, campy characters, and throwback humor for which the band is known.
Guitarist for Helloween, Michael Weikath, had this to say about the releases:
Obviously, Dr. Stein is not the only one who can come up with funny creatures. We are thrilled to see the characters from the HELLOWEEN universe finally come to life! The team of Incendium did a great job and created an exciting new comic adventure. As we say in Dr. Stein: And their time is right!
Seekers of the Seven Keys is available for pre-order and releases October 31st. The figures release in Spring 2022. Pre-order everything here.
