METALLICA's KIRK HAMMETT Working On Nights Of Lono Comic

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is having himself a pretty adventurous year. First came the announcement of his solo EP Portals, and now he's working on a new comic series called Nights Of Lono with Marcel Feldmar. The comic is due out via AMC's new publishing arm AMC Networks Publishing and is described as such.

"Hammett and Feldmar’s Nights Of Lono (working title) tells the story of a troubled female detective in 1989 Hawaii who is hired to find King Kamehameha’s tomb before it is discovered by an unscrupulous occultist from the mainland. A mix of mystery and supernatural adventure, the story is a self-aware journey through standard detective tropes and cliches that are sharpened and given new life with fresh takes on the myths and folklore of the Hawaiian Islands."

"I’m incredibly proud to share the official launch announcement of AMCN Publishing!" added Hammett. "Excited to partner with award-winning creatives & companies to further engage @amc_tv’s passionate fanbases with the stories & characters they love."
