Skillet Song Featured in Marvel Comic Video

Skillet appears to be building a relationship with Marvel Comics lately, first appearing on their podcast This Week in Marvel a few weeks ago, and now teaming up by lending one of their songs to a comic trailer.

Marvel released a video trailer for the new five-part Monsters Unleashed! series. The video plays out like an emergency news broadcast and features Skillet's "Back From the Dead" as an appropriate backdrop throughout.

The series of crossover comics features a storyline where an army of classic Marvel heroes, including the X-Men and the Avengers, are forced to unite so they can battle a slew of Marvel monsters that are attacking Earth. The first issue, published Jan. 18, pits the heroes against an invasion of creatures called Leviathons. Four issues in the series are currently available.

Lead singer and Marvel fan John Cooper told Billboard that the band's involvement with Marvel is "truly one of the best moments of Skillet's career."
