Christopher Golden, best known as the writer of multiple novels focusing on Mike Mignola‘s demon hunter creation Hellboy, is being patched-in by Boom! Studios to write a new series focusing on the rough-riding namesakes of the hit FX series Sons of Anarchy.

Golden seems to think that the motorcycle-riding misfits will make a seamless transition from the small-screen to the page. In an interview with Newsarama.com, Golden says “Sons of Anarchy has the perfect combination of character and action . . . There are regular doses of violence and bloodshed and intrigue, plus the iconic imagery of the American motorcycle gang, but none of that would work if not for the tension that the show creates out of the conflict in the show between personal desire and the honor of the club (and fealty TO the club).”

In particular, Golden singles out Jax Teller, son of one of the group’s founders and current president, as one of the most interesting characters to write.

“Like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, Jax was born into this world, but when he grew up and took a hard look at it – especially when he became a father – he realized that it wasn’t what he saw for his future,” says Golden. “But also like Michael Corleone, just when he thought he was out, it pulled him back in. I love that these are characters who know without a doubt that they can absolutely, without reservation, trust the rest of the club to have their backs. . . right up until that moment when they can’t.”

Golden, who will be paired with artist Damian Couceiro, reveals that the story centers around an untold part of the club’s past and ties in to the series’ fifth season.

“The comic book’s story is called The Whistle Blower and it ranges up and down the west coast. . . It’s about loyalty conflicting with business, about human monsters, about hired killers, and about grief. It’s about keeping one young woman alive because it’s the right thing to do, even when it’s bad for the club. It’s about Tig and his pain and an old friend who would’ve been a good sounding board for him…if he’d been alive long enough.”

When asked about switching gears from Hellboy to SAMCRO, Golden had the following to say about the series and its comparisons to his previous body of work.

“I’m a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy.” Golden admits. “When I love something this much it doesn’t take a lot of acclimation. I’m deeply invested not just in the fates of these characters, but in who they are and how they see themselves. In real life, we have a perception of ourselves that is, in some ways, the most important thing we own. That perception drives us, informs all of our decisions. It can endure a lot, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be shattered. What amazes me is how far some people will go to justify their behavior to themselves, just to preserve that self-perception.

“Normally I wouldn’t say there’s much comparison to be drawn between Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy, but here’s one – Hellboy and Jax both spend their lives trying to be better than the destinies they were dealt, one with significantly more success – thus far at least – than the other.”

Look for the Sons of Anarchy to roll into your local comic shop this September.
