KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Driving through town, I caught this out of the corner of my eye. I had to drive around the block and block traffic just to snap the pic. These posters are in the windows of Urban Outfitters in Westfield NJ. KISS really is everywhere!!

On a side note there is a mistake here on these posters, while Benjamin Franklin was a major KISS fan, he was not a president!!

Comic Book Resources contributing writer - Karl Keily

Celebrating 40 years of rocking out together in 2013, KISS is marking the occasion by returning to comic books this March with the miniseries "KISS Solo" from IDW Publishing. "KISS Solo" spans four issues, each chronicling a different member of the group on an individual adventure. The first installment titled "KISS Solo #1: The Demon" stars Gene Simmons, better known to fans as The Demon.

Writing this first issue of the miniseries is IDW Publishing editor-in-chief Chris Ryall, who has also penned "Zombies vs. Robots" and "Mars Attacks: KISS." Ryall is joined by artist Angel Medina on the issue. Tom Waltz, who co-writes IDW's ongoing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" title with Kevin Eastman, is writing the second issue of the miniseries, with the subtitle "The Starchild," with Tone Rodriguez on pencils.

Ryall and Waltz spoke with CBR News about what to expect in their respective issues of "KISS Solo," their love of the franchise and Ryall's personal experience of geeking out with Simmons over comics.

CBR News: Chris, what's the gist of "KISS Solo #1: The Demon?"

Chris Ryall: It's a lovely, touching indie movie-like little tale of The Demon versus the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

In the context of this story, do the members of KISS have super-human abilities or are they just a bunch of really good musicians?

Here's the cover of the lastest issue of the KISS Swedish fanzine, DESTROYER. It will be released next week.

PETERS BRINGS BACK ICONIC 80’S ICE BLOCK TO MAKE KISSTORY!



‘Lick It Up’ with legendary rockers KISS during their upcoming Monster Tour in Australia

Iconic Australian ice cream brand, Peters, has joined forces with legendary rock giants KISS to make their upcoming Monster Tour even sweeter by bringing back the famous Peters KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ ice block.

In February 2013, Peters will re-launch their widely popular 1980s KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ ice block to coincide with KISS’s Monster Tour in Australia celebrating their 40th Anniversary. Peters and KISS will be encouraging KISS fans to ‘Lick It Up’ while stocks last* and rock out at a concert in their local city.

Alicia Munday, Peters Marketing Manager, said, “The original KISS ice block was such a hit when it first launched that we knew we had to bring it back at some stage. When KISS announced that they were starting their global KISS Monster Tour in Australia we knew we had to make it happen.

“We know the comeback of this ice block will conjure up a sense of nostalgia and excitement for new and old fans and expect the Peters KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ to be a sellout success,” added Munday.

KISS front man, Paul Stanley, is excited by the partnership and can’t wait to ‘Lick It Up’ Down Under. “Getting a chance to revisit our first time here through this awesome Aussie project gives us a taste of KISSTERIA and all that made us a phenomenon back then.” he said.

Gene Simmons, KISS bassist and co-founder, admits-- “I still have 12 original boxes of the ice blocks from the 1980s."

The Peters KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ ice block is a triple threat of three flavours that will take you straight back to childhood – lemonade, raspberry and cola.

The Peters KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ ice block will be one of the first products to be released under Peters’ new Australian ownership and part of a renewed commitment to creating products that Australians want.

*The Peters KISS ‘Thunderbolt’ ice block is available exclusively in Caltex outlets from Wednesday, 6 February and Coles supermarkets from Wednesday, 13 February until sold out.

We've been a couple for many years and thought it was about time we make a baby…well, a Rock' n Roll, baby to be exact!

Of course every couple wants their wedding to be awesome and memorable. And we couldn't have imagined ours to be more perfect.

Traditional ceremonies are fine, but let others do them. We wanted to get married short and sweet with a big bang and make everybody feel like rock stars. And damn did we - with the help of the phenomenal team of the Hotter Than Hell Wedding Chapel. Big thanks to all!

From beginning till end it was all one big rush of excitement and joy. The crowd was cheering, our Mini-ster did an amazing job, and when our maid of honor pulled the shotgun and revealed that Nikki is pregnant the masses went berserk. So, so, so much fun!

We're feeling so fortunate that we shared this with our friends.

Thanks to KISS News for the images!

Thank you, KISS Army for sending us so many wonderful letters, like the one below, celebrating 40 years of KISS!


I don't have enough space to write about what this band has meant to me in my lifetime. I have been with KISS through all the ups and downs, and have never wavered in my loyalty. From the moment I heard Detroit Rock City played to me over the phone by my best friend, I was hooked. KISS has changed my life, given me a reason to believe in myself when no one else would, and it has showed me what is possible with hard work and patience.

When no one else believed in me, KISS told me that I could believe in myself. I am a professor of English to hundreds of college students per year, and that basic KISS credo of be proud of who you are and you will accomplish your dreams is a message I preach in every class. Thank you for that.

Yes, I'm a freak, and it's a cross I'm proud to bear. Here's a photograph I took at my first KISS concert at the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum in November of 1977. All it was was a hand-held 110 film camera I held up high and clicked. The result speaks for itself.

Thanks, Paul, Gene, Eric, and Tommy, for keeping the dream alive.

Gary
