Judas Priest has teamed up with Z2 Comics for their Screaming For Vengeance graphic novel. The novel was written by Rantz Hoseley (Comic Book Tattoo, The Heroin Diaries) and Neil Kleid (Savor), given artwork by Christopher Mitten (Hellboy And The B.P.R.D.), and of course features tons of Judas Priest references and imagery. Z2 Comics describes the novel as such:
"500 years from now, a ring of cities will orbit high above the surface of a dead world, controlled by a ruling elite that maintains power through manipulation and brutality. When a naïve engineer inadvertently threatens the status quo with his vital scientific discovery… A BLOODSTONE… he is betrayed by those he trusted and cast out to the broken planet below. In the wreckage and desolation of a broken world where every day is a battle for survival, he must choose between accepting his new life in exile… or SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE."
