Exclusive Preview: Machine Gun Kelly-penned OGN, Hotel Diablo

Machine Gun Kelly's new original graphic novel, Hotel Diablo, is coming soon and we've got an exclusive preview of the pop-punk superstar's latest project. Z2 Comics has teamed up with Machine Gun Kelly for the new horror title, which shares the same name as the musician's 2019 album, Hotel Diablo. The anthology will focus on Lidia Lopez's first night as front desk host and the guests in the hotel between Heaven and Hell they encounter.

Machine Gun Kelly is a rapper and rocker that originally burst onto the music scene with his 2012 project, Lace Up. After embracing a more rock sound for 2019's Hotel Diablo, MGK shifted genres to pop-punk for his 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall. The album (which featured guest appearances from Halsey, Trippie Redd, and Blackbear) was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, has also starred in a number of films, including Bird Box, The Dirt, and Project Power. Baker was also a regular on the 2016 series Roadies. Now, he's flexing his creativity again while jumping into the world of comics and graphic novels.
