The Amory Wars

The Amory Wars, originally titled The Bag.On.Line Adventures, is an ongoing series of comic books written by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez and published by Evil Ink Comics. The story of The Amory Wars is also the focus of the band's music. Each studio album released by the band (with the exception of The Color Before the Sun) tells a chapter in the science fiction saga originally narrated by Sanchez's lyrics. Many individual songs on these albums (e.g., "The Crowing," "Everything Evil," "Three Evils") use a particular song structure known as "terminally climactic form" in order to depict a particularly violent action from the comic books once in a pivotal moment only heard at the song's ending.

The albums, in chronological order, are: The Afterman: Ascension, The Afterman: Descension, Year of the Black Rainbow, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness and Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow.

The Amory Wars is set in Heaven's Fence, a collection of 78 planets held in place by interconnecting beams of energy, known as the Keywork. The first half of the story narrates Coheed Kilgannon and Cambria Kilgannon's struggle against Wilhelm Ryan, the Supreme Tri-Mage (later referred to as the Archmage). The second half of the story focuses on the heroic journey of their son, messianic Claudio Kilgannon. Over the course of the story, Claudio assumes the mantle of The Crowing, foretold savior of Heaven's Fence. In the end, he will face the Archmage, absolute ruler of Heaven's Fence and the one ultimately responsible for the death of Claudio's family.
