“Each song on the record tells of a concept, situation, or subject that I’ll be making comics about. It’s basically that simple. However, they’re all intertwined in one way or another. For example: The song, “MEGADROID” is about a giant robot that was discovered in a hidden silo buried deep underground. For years, government officials have been trying to discover what its purpose is, and who built it, but to no avail. (This is the first storyline that will be dealt with in MEGADROID issue #1)”

“The storyline in the song “Attack of the KT-88’s” takes place not long after the MEGADROID’s launch. It’s a story about rebel forces battling deadly, automated patrol drones. These killing machines guard the quarantined border of Manhattan island after a near catastrophic seismic event. “Dominus, Sanctus, Infern!” is about three people who find a long lost book of incantations called the “Malevolus Invocatus”. One of these three characters is also a rebel soldier from the song “Attack of the KT-88’s”. This links them to the storyline and making part of the MEGADROID universe.”

“”Before the Ink Dries” is about a nefarious criminal agent who is pressuring one of the three people from the song, “Dominus, Sanctus, Infern!” into reacquiring the, “Malevolus Ivocatus” and turning it over to him. He additionally has many different connections to many different characters within the MEGADROID universe and so forth.
