Entropy: Exclusive Preview of Heavy Metal’s First Crossover Event Comic

Major crossover events have long been the bread and butter of superhero comic book publishers like Marvel and DC. In fact, both companies are gearing up for major crossovers this summer, including Marvel’s Avengers/X-Men/Eternals crossover Judgment Day and DC’s Dark Crisis. But now readers can look forward to a big event from quite possibly the last publisher anyone would have expected – Heavy Metal.

Heavy Metal is launching a new limited series in July called Entropy, written by Christopher Priest (Deathstroke) and drawn by newcomer Montos. This series will introduce a villain called Kako, one who will become an overarching threat across the Heavy Metal universe.

Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive first look at Entropy #1 and the next big step for Heavy Metal:

According to Heavy Metal, Kako is a godlike being who exists as the “living embodiment of chaos and misery.” This series won’t just focus on Kako himself, but also his herald, a human named Henry Hanks. After Henry betrays Kako, his punishment is to be killed and resurrected as a servant of this unholy evil.

Heavy Metal bills this series as a mash-up of Breaking Bad and Green Lantern. In fact, the Breaking Bad influence is strong enough that each issue will feature a Breaking Bad parody variant cover from G.I. Joe: Cobra’s Antonio Fuso.

Look for Entropy #1 to hit stores on July 6, 2022. Priest will also be at Heavy Metal’s WonderCon panel this weekend, where he’ll shed more light on how Kako’s introduction will reshape the Heavy Metal line.

In related news, Priest has also been tapped to write an ongoing Black Adam series at DC, one which will establish a “radically different” status quo for the ruler of Khandaq.
