Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello Launches Orchid Comic Book

Rage Against The Machine star Tom Morello is set to launch a comic book series later this year called Orchid.

The book will be published on October 12 by Dark House Comics, which is also behind My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way's series, The Umbrella Academy.

Orchid is a fantasy epic set in the future that tells the story of a 16-year-old street prostitute who discovers she has a higher calling.

Each issue of the comic book will include an exclusive song by Morrello and that will serve as the soundtrack to that particular episode.

Morello, who has written the story, worked with illustrator Scott Hepburn on the images.
