A hundred times more popular than The Beatles, Metalocalypse's cartoon metal band Dethklok thrashes into comics this fall. And it's leaving piles of social networking drones in its wake.

The first issue of Dark Horse Comics' miniseries Metalocalypse/Dethklok arrives Oct. 6 for $4, and it's quite the headbanging hoot. When all is said and done, the spoof thrashers of Adult Swim's Dethklok, led by guitar and comedy virtuoso Brendon Small (Home Movies), will have destroyed Helsinki, and perhaps what's left of Twitter and Facebook's integrity.

The comic's scratched-out obscenities aren't nearly as cool as the guitar squeals that mask the band members' frequent foul language in TV episodes. But any fan of Metalocalypse will instantly hear the characters' weird voices in their heads as they read. How's that for brutal?
