Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has launched a new cyberpunk graphic novel, Appetite For Destruction. Find all the details below.
The singer has teamed up with Sumerian Comics for the forthcoming project, which shares its name with GnR’s 1987 classic debut album.
Rose co-wrote the story alongside Sumerian co-founder Nathan Yocum, who explained: “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction is a raw, neon-noir fever dream, part rock anthem, part cyberpunk prophecy.
“Axl and I built a world where rebellion isn’t just attitude, it’s survival. It’s Axl like you’ve never seen him before, on the front lines of a battle for humanity’s future.”
A synopsis reads: “Set in a neon-drenched Paradise City where humans and robots are meant to co-exist, Appetite for Destruction follows Axl Rose, a half-human, half-robot who lives on the fringes, and finds solace in the music of a back-alley lounge singer.
“When she vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Axl’s search for answers drags him into a deadly conspiracy, one that could decide the fate of humanity itself.”
Appetite for Destruction features art by Frank Mazzoli (DUNE: Edge Of A Crysknife, Rebel Moon: Nemesis), colours by Antonio Antro (Hell Is Us, The Offspring: Come Out And Play) and lettering by Micah Myers (American Psycho).
The 108-page hardcover book is available to pre-order now, and shipping is expected in January 2026. It is available in five tiers, with the top package coming with a signed Axl Rose bookplate, figurine, collector’s coin and more. The standard edition is priced at $39.99 (£29.73).

Meanwhile, Guns N’ Roses are set to kick off their South American headline tour in San José, Costa Rica tomorrow (Wednesday October 1).
Over the summer, Rose and co. played a huge concert at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of their most recent UK and European run. They also performed a show at Villa Park in Birmingham.
In other news, Zak Starkey recently urged Axl Rose to return a master recording of a song that he claims could raise $2million for charity.
