A dystopian science fiction graphic novel based on the iconic 1982 album Screaming for Vengeance by heavy metal rock icons Judas Priest
500 years from now, a ring of cities will orbit high above the surface of a dead world, controlled by a ruling elite that maintains power through manipulation and brutality. When a naïve engineer inadvertently threatens the status quo with his vital scientific discovery… A bloodstone... he is betrayed by those he trusted and cast out to the broken planet below. In the wreckage and desolation of a broken world where every day is a battle for survival, he must choose between accepting his new life in exile… or screaming for vengeance.

“…offers an engaging sci-fi story with a mix of futuristic and normal language, and a cool heavy metal vibe.”—Graphic Policy
“…a good story, maybe a slow paced, a slow burn but that is part of the charm perhaps. The plot reminds me of some vintage 70’s sci-fi, (Logan’s Run, Zardoz etc. ) meaning it is much more cerebral than much of modern ‘sci-fi’ which is all about lasers battles, spaceships and funny talking aliens that can easily made into plush toys..”—Metal Rules
“Well worth a look. 7/5/10 stars.”—Atomic Junk Shop
