This summer, Heavy Metal magazine will unleash an Iron Maiden comic book, reports Nerdist.

“Metal music and comic books have a long history of intertwining, so teaming up one of the genre’s most iconic bands with one of the industry’s most innovative publishers is a no-freaking-brainer.”

Based on the mobile role-playing game Iron Maiden: Legacy Of The Beast, the comic is set to feature the band’s longtime mascot Eddie battling through the worlds of their albums.

Written by Llexi Leon and Ian Edginton with art from Kevin J.  West, Iron Maiden: Legacy Of The Beast is set to premiere in July’s Heavy Metal #287.
