Belzebubs (Vol 2): No Rest for the Wicked



Hail Satan and help with your kid’s math homework! It’s the return of everyone’s favorite demon-summoning family next door, the cartoon black-metal band Belzebubs!

Sløth is juggling his stay-at-home dad obligations with his lifelong dream of being a black metal icon. His breadwinner wife, Lucy, is fed up with her job and just one meltdown away from sacrificing her colleagues to Satan. Their teenage daughter, Lilith, is wielding the effects of her raging hormones on her boyfriend, Sam—who also happens to be Sløth’s new drummer. And then there’s Leviathan, who appears to be the only one exhibiting some sort of societal normalcy in the family. Unfortunately, he’s only nine.

Can Sløth handle his fierce wife, wicked kids, a very lively mother-in-law, a very deceased father-in-law, his dysfunctional band, their mounting debts, and still achieve his dream? Probably not, but that sure as hell won’t stop him from trying.

In a matter of years, the comic strip Belzebubs has become a global online phenomenon with half a million fans, a chart-topping album, and animated music videos. No Rest for the Wicked is the second collected edition of the beloved cult sensation, documenting the daily lives of your beloved black-metal BFFs.

Featuring an introduction by Max Sarin and an afterword by Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth!

Praise for Belzebubs (Vol 2): No Rest for the Wicked

Praise for Book One:
“As twisted as it is sidesplitting… [Belzebubs] weaves slice-of-life drama and mockumentary-style humor into a pentagram of laughs, relatable moments, and a love for black metal.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“This webcomic has become a cult sensation... it’s a silly, Addams Family-esque family comedy with a perfect cartoony style.” Barnes & Noble (Best of the Month)

“Pure joy… the whole book works as a loving parody of all the idiosyncrasies that make the black-metal scene both wonderful and ridiculous.” — Brett Calwood, LA Weekly (Book of the Week)
