If Family Circus never resonated with your lifestyle, maybe Belzebubs is more up your alley. Like the former, it centers on the day to day issues of raising children and balancing work and home life. In Belzebubs, however, the work is making Satanic black metal music and home life is often (literally) Hellish!
The popular webcomic had amassed legions of followers on their Facebook page and, now, Belzebubs is poised to break out in a big way with a hardcover graphic novel coming from the folks at Top Shelf this February. The announcement came out of New York Comic Con last weekend. According to IDW:
Belzebubs is a “trve kvlt mockumentary” focusing on the everyday challenges of family life: raising kids, running a small business, and making time for worship. Except the kids are named Lilith and Leviathan, the business is a black-metal band, and the worship… isn’t exactly aimed upstairs.
In a few short years, what started out as improvised social-media doodles has now become a wildly successful webcomic with hundreds of thousands of fans. The irresistible cartooning of JP Ahonen (Sing No Evil) combines relatable slice-of-life humor with over-the-top occult antics and references from metal music to Lovecraftian horror, making Belzebubs a devil of a good time.
See what Belzebubs’ quarter-million frenzied Facebook fans have been raving about! Plus: watch for the official Belzebubs soundtrack album, coming in early 2019 from the world’s largest heavy metal record label, Century Media!
