Dark Horse brings the unmistakable spectacle of KISS to comics in this 2002 series opener, with all four members — in full signature makeup and elaborate stage costumes — staring down the reader from a bold photo cover that practically crackles with stage energy. Writer Joe Casey, fresh off his X-Men work, scripts the first chapter of a three-part story, promising a narrative as theatrical as the band itself. The tagline says it all: "You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best.
