Eternal Descent comic book issue one kicked off the series by introducing Llexi Leon’s original characters and sets the stage for their epic battle. Metal bands God Forbid, Atreyu, Firewind, Static X, Children of Bodom, among others, will appear in Issue two and onward, with corresponding interviews included in each comic.
Leon began making noise in London, England in 2005. His highly intricate guitar style exhibits the many influences corralled to create his intense sound – from classical, flamenco, electronica, and ambient genres to the more prominent genres of rock and metal. All of these genres infused to one, Leon
has built a cinematic metal fantasia with his music, which has branched out to a comic book series. His main aspirations are bringing stories to life through escapism.
Leon utilizes everyday events and his vivid imagination to drive him to create more avenues for his multimedia enterprise. To prove its tangibility, Leon, who is responsible for the basic concept artwork, storyboards, and character design/creation, has assembled a team of artists through Space Goat Productions, including:
~ Jason Metcalf on pencils and inks, and a driving force behind detailing the Eternal Descent world, who previously worked on The Darkness and Magdelina.
~ David Rivera will begin inking over Jason’s pencils from issue two and beyond, while Javier Tartaglia and Joel Chua, both veterans of many Marvel and DC comics titles, provide stunning colors.
Leon began his own production company, Incendium Records, to release his first concept album “Losing Faith” and the EP “The Phantom of the Opera.” This fulfilled Leon’s dream of having all Eternal Descent media developed with the highest standards under one roof.
