Dynamite; $19.99 

To mark the band’s history making farewell tour KISS: End of the Road, Dynamite Entertainment released the comic book series KISS: The End. This entire rocking series is collected in this trade paperback, written by Amy Chu, who penned Dynamite’s 2016 KISS series, with art by The Twilight Zone’s Edu Menna. 

A young man, Jay, finds himself possibly dead and wrangling with some of life’s most eternal questions. What lies beyond our world? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? It’s a good thing he runs into Death, who sets him on a path to track down their own demon offspring. His prophetic guides in this quest are none other than the otherworldly KISS – the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman, and the Catman. Their help will be needed, to make his way back to the world of the living, as there is plenty of peril awaiting them…Without giving anything away, the exciting conclusion of this installment also leads into the current KISS comic from Dynamite. 

Chu captures the many personalities of the band as she leads them on this time-hopping, death-defying, rock ‘n’ rolling adventure. Meanwhile, the detailed and immersive art by Menna brings the reader right into the comics pages.
