She has now released a preview of the first half of issue #1 via The Nerdist. Alternatively, you can also go to Lights' site to read the sneak peek as well.
About the main character and story, The Nerdist reports:
“The main character of Skin & Earth is a young woman named Enaia Jin, who lives among the underclass in a post-apocalyptic future that is ruled by corporations. As you’ll soon see, the Tempest Corporation not only controls the university, but also the drugs it provides to placate the population. Enaia may not live among the fortunate survivors, but she is allowed to attend school among them if she submits to wearing a mask that exposes her as one of the outcasts.”
Lights also says about her decision to write and illustrate the comic book along with her album, “It’s a complete convergence of everything I love–music, comics, post-apocalyptic romance, crystals, wine, and powerful ladies, all perfectly entwined. It’ll be by far my most carefree and fierce album yet. I think now, more than ever, people need a reason to listen to a whole record, and this is mine.”
Lights also gave her fans some easter eggs to look out for while reading. “All the lyrics from the track in the trailer (the intro track on the album) are hidden throughout these pages, along with two song titles.”
We seriously cannot wait for the entire comic series to be released (coming July 12) and her album!
