EDM trio Major Lazer, which has had a number of hit songs this year and blew the doors off with "Que Calor" last fall (117 million YouTube views), has a new album due out in October and a debut graphic novel from Z2 due in the spring: Major Lazer: Year Negative One, by writer Alex De Campi (Bad Karma) and Major Lazer’s own artist, Ferry Gouw.  De Campi and Gouw will co-write the story and Gouw will illustrate it.

The graphic novel will tell the origin story of Major Lazer, a one-armed Jamaican man who was a commando in the Zombie War of 1984.  In an alternate timeline, the "retro futuristic metropolis" of Nu Kingston in Jamaica is beset by gang lords who control zombie armies through a substance called Slime, and Major Lazer must rally his fellow warriors and an arsenal of new weapons to defeat them.

The story will be published in March 2021 in three formats: a 22-page one-shot comic with an MSRP of $5.99, a 144-page trade paperback with an MSRP of $19.99, and a direct-to-consumer slipcased hardcover limited edition of 2,000, with an MSRP of $99.99.  The limited edition will include an exclusive vinyl picture disc of Major Lazer’s new album, Music Is the Weapon. as well as three exclusive prints.
