The Press Release:
Together with Tobias Forge, founder and mastermind of global theatrical rock phenomenon GHOST, Dark Horse Comics presents Sister Imperator, a comic miniseries that pulls back the curtain of mystery on an influential figure from official GHOST lore. Writer Corinna Bechko (Avatar: Adapt or Die) joins Forge in writing, along with artist Puste (The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries), colorist Thiago Rocha (Kill All Immortals) and Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt (Ghostbusters: Back in Town), to tell the hidden history of the woman who became the force behind Ghost. Featuring cover art by Mikael Eriksson, this four-part miniseries will begin in March 2025.

“Sister Imperator” #1

“As a fan of Ghost, working with Tobias to bring his vision of Sister Imperator’s story to life was a dream come true,” says Bechko. “Her history is rich, tragic, and brutal in ways that transcend what people might think they know about her character. The team at Dark Horse has really put together something special here, and I know the art is going to blow everyone’s mind. I’ve had the honor of writing a lot of amazing women, from Vampirella to Wonder Woman, but I’ve never written a character more kickass than Sister Imperator. Working on this project has been an unparalleled privilege and I can’t wait for the world to see the result!”

News of the tour first broke via a new installment of GHOST’s long running Chapters webisode series, which picks up immediately following the events at the conclusion of RITE HERE RITE NOW.

It was just a short time ago that the Recording Academy had announced the nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards and as is the usual practice here at the Metal Media High Command HQ, I’ve culled that almost 100 category list to serve up the nominations for the Rock and Metal releases. I’ve even kept to the inclusion of the Alternative stuff as well since sometimes that gets really close to the kind of stuff we are listening to as fans. There were some interesting nominations this time around.

Best Rock Performance – For new vocal or instrumental solo, duo/group or collaborative rock recordings.

Sculptures Of Anything Goes – Arctic Monkeys
More Than A Love Song – Black Pumas
Not Strong Enough – Boygenius
Rescued – Foo Fighters
