Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has revealed details of his upcoming DC project Lobo: Highway To Hell.
According to the rock star, the miniseries will see the alien bounty hunter square off against the Devil himself and take place outside of DC Universe continuity. Illustrations will be provided by Sam Keith.
"It's a revenge story," Ian told MTV. "Lobo has to get revenge, and it turns out he has to get revenge against the Devil. He picks the most powerful being in the universe and decides he has to kill him."
The musician-turned-comic book writer went on to say that he originally pitched a Batman storyline to the publisher but felt that Lobo offered him more creative freedom.
"My initial instinct was, 'OK DC, I want to write a Batman story'," he added. "The thing with Batman as I was giving them some of the ideas that I had, was that there are a lot of do's and don'ts with a character like Batman.
"I then said to them, 'What characters are there where I wouldn't have so many rules and regulations and maybe I could stray outside the continuity of the DC Universe?'"
Lobo: Highway To Hell debuts on November 4. The character is also due to appear on the big screen with Guy Ritchie attached as director.
