Satch The Superhero
The guitarist will become a superhero in forthcoming comic book
Gibson reports that Satriani will be part of the second volume of the comic book Eternal Descent, appearing as a "cryptic entity” with supreme powers.
The story will apparently concern the character Sirian, who finds himself caught lost in time and space as strange beautiful music (i.e. the Satriani album Strange Beautiful Music) resonates throughout the cosmos, heralding the arrival of Joe Satriani (who will save the day).
"I reached out to Joe directly with a taster of previous Eternal Descent collaborations and some ideas for incorporating his musical heritage into the world of comics,” says writer Llexi Leon. "I was blown away when he responded a few days later, all the paperwork signed and his own ideas noted down along with the answers to some questions I had raised.”
There will be four covers for the comic, each a variation on a Satriani album cover.
