As disciples of the riff know, it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n' roll—a quest made even more difficult when annoyances like high school and monsters get in the way. A new Dark Horse release, The Rock Gods of Jackson, Tennessee, brings this adventure to life, and io9 has a fun preview to share today.
