Revealed at last week's Comic Con the Faith No More. / Mr. Bungle flip book is to be the second issue of the forthcoming series 'Rock & Roll Comics' published by Wildcard Ink.

The author of both sections is Mike Wellman, who published the Kids of Widney High comic about four years ago, working hand in hand with the band.

Matt Jacobs, the artist who created the animation for Tomahawk's ODDFELLOWS video last year is illustrating the Faith No More section.

Sinclair Klurgarsh is the artist of the Mr. Bungle section. The Mr. Bungle segment is very surreal, bouncing from carnival barkers to really dark, submerged paranoia to bright, sunny earthquake-riddled fun!

Everyone involved are HUGE fans of the music and are doing their best to honor that, even though it's 'unofficial'.

Bassist Billy Gould of the reactivated influential alt-metal act FAITH NO MORE has revealed to Classic Rock magazine that the band may begin work on a new studio album at some point in the not-too-distant future, explaining, "to do something creative would be a really good thing to do."

FAITH NO MORE recently hinted at the possibility of new music 17 years after the release of the band's last LP, "Album Of The Year", and debuted two new songs, "Superhero" and "Motherfucker" — when they supported BLACK SABBATH at London,'s Hyde Park on July 4.

"We're considering doing something new," Gould said. "[But] we're not going to go into a room and bang out a bunch of songs just to put something out; it has to to be right."

He continued: "Our relationships among ourselves are really positive at the moment, and to do something creative would be a really good thing to do. We're all at that stage. I mean, we're still the same people and there's still the same shit going on, but I think maybe we're a bit more appreciative of one another than we were fifteen years ago."

The group, which made a comeback in June 2009 with a headlining performance at the Brixton Academy in London, England and has played sporadic shows for the past few years, launched a new Twitter account and one of the first posts in May was as follows: "The reunion thing was fun, but now it's time to get a little creative."

"I think we still have a lot of potential to do really good things, and I think our heads, musically speaking, are in a really good space," Gould told Classic Rock.

"If anything is to come out of this, I'll probably have to be one of the instigators. But everybody has to want to do this or it doesn't happen.

"At this point, no one has a carrot or a stick to use on anyone else. If it comes together, it'll all be completely consensual."

Influential alterna-metal iconoclasts Faith No More are set to release their seventh album — their first in 18 years — in April of 2015, bassist Bill Gould tells Rolling Stone. The record will be a totally independent product — produced by Gould, recorded in their Oakland rehearsal space and released on their own imprint, Reclamation Records (which will be distributed by frontman Mike Patton's long-running label, Ipecac Recordings).

"The name has to do with the fact that we realized we were free from our recording obligations," says Gould. "We weren't touring, we have these songs that we were working on — that we think are pretty cool — and why don't we just do our own imprint and kind of reclaim our future, in a way? We own the future more than we ever have."

Though no dates have been booked, the band is planning a full U.S. tour around the album's release. Since their return to the stage in 2009, they've only played five American cities.

The album's first single, "Motherfucker," a song they premiered in London's Hyde Park in July, will be released on a seven-inch due for November 28th release and limited to 5,000 copies as part of Record Store Day's Black Friday. The B-side will be a remix by electronic art-pop sound designer J.G. Thirlwell.
