[ENGLISH] Claudio Sanchez, singer/guitarist of the platinum-selling rock group, Coheed and Cambria, announced today that his mini-series THE AMORY WARS will debut its inaugural collection at this year’s New York Comic Con. « While it first appeared as our music, THE AMORY WARS’ has really come alive with the comics, » said writer Claudio Sanchez. « I grew up reading the classic comics, primarily Stan Lee and his Marvel mythology, and sci-fi films and horror. I find influence inf Frank Herbert, Clive Barker and John Carpenter. It’s a work in progress, but I’m really happy how the story is unfolding finally and fans get to debunk some of the myths that have been surrounding it for so long. »
