Album title
As stated by the band members themselves, in an interview with MTV, the album title is inspired by the late 80's comic book of the same name. According to the band, they wanted the album title to reflect the nature of the songs themselves, and the title came once they incorporated the visual elements of the project.
Reception
After its first week of sales, the album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Indie chart, and No. 44 overall selling over 11,000 copies the first week.
