SCORPIONS are heading somewhere they've never been before: outer space. SCORPIONS: HURRICANE is an officially licensed 96-page graphic novel that takes the legendary rock band on an outrageous sci-fi adventure. Centuries from now, Scorpions aren't just touring the world — they're touring the galaxy. Their latest stop is Venus-7, a mysterious planet rumored to be home to the greatest afterparty in the universe. But what starts as an intergalactic celebration quickly turns into a fight for survival when the band is captured by a technologically advanced society of warriors determined to keep their world free of men. Part space opera, part action-comedy, Scorpions: Hurricane is unlike anything the band has done before. "After more than six decades of rocking stages around the world, we're ready to take fans on a different kind of journey. We're excited to partner with Sumerian Comics on Scorpions: Hurricane, our first-ever graphic novel that lets us explore a bold new adventure unlike anything we've done before."
