Hilltop Hoods To Release New Comic Book In Australian-first Venture

Hilltop Hoods: Australian music heavyweights. Multiple ARIA Award winners. Space recruits? 

The hip hop trio have today announced an Australian-first venture with Z2 Comics which will see them release original comic book, Hilltop Hoods Present: Noctis, this October.

Here's what fans are in for: 

"Pressure, Suffa & DJ Debris are the Hilltop Hoods and Noctis’ newest inmates—er, recruits—when an anti-space incident infests the base with demonic aliens from another dimension! With the barriers between realities breaking down, it’s up to the Hoods to reverse the bleed before a nightmare god takes hold!"

The collaboration with Z2 - who have previously worked with major names like Gorillaz, Jimmy Eat World, Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud - will also include writer Scott Dooley (The New Yorker) and Andrew Archer (The Tokyo 5), with art by Jeff Nice (The Tokyo 5).

"Getting to work with Z2 on a comic is the realisation of a childhood dream," Suffa said.

"I grew up reading Deathlok, X-Force, Spawn and a host of others, I never thought I'd be able to play a part in putting a comic together, and Z2 have been so generous with their knowledge, resources and time.

"As for the writing and illustrations - I've been a fan of Tokyo 5 since it's inception, Nice's artwork is stunning, and Andrew Archer writes like someone who really understands how comic book universes should be constructed.

"Teaming them up with comedian Scott Dooley, who injected his sense of humour throughout, has resulted in a really exciting comic that everyone's really proud of.”
