Check Into Machine Gun Kelly’s Debut Graphic Novel With Unseen Process Art

“Between Heaven and Hell lies a waystation for the soul–a place where your deeds in life are the keys to your eternity in the afterlife–at the HOTEL DIABLO. And it’s Lidia Lopez’s first night behind the front desk! Every guest’s got a story to tell and a lesson to learn…”

Coming September 28th from Z2 Comics, HOTEL DIABLO teams award-winning rapper, rocker, and occasional actor Machine Gun Kelly with co-writers Eliot Rahal (Knock Em Dead), Ryan Cady (Future State: Green Lantern), and a talented team of artists including Martin Morazzo (Ice Cream Man), Victor Ibañez (Jean Grey), Amilcar Pinna (Generation X), Nelson Blake II (Byte-Sized), Roberta Ingranata (Doctor Who) and Rachel Smartt.

Based on MGK’s 2019 album of the same name, HOTEL DIABLO is an anthology-style project concerning the titular hotel, which serves as a sort of purgatory to all those who visit it. The comic is available in both standard and deluxe editions from Z2, and is a must-buy for Machine Gun Kelly fans or anyone looking for a fresh and fun spooky season read.
