Lots of comic book publishers have their own app, but how many comics or magazines can say they have an app for just a single issue?! That's what we thought! From the twisted mind of editor-in-chief and wizard Grant Morrison, Heavy Metal Magazine has launched a new Heavy Metal Magazine AR app whose entire stated purpose is to "scan select pages of Heavy Metal Magazine issue #289 and bring them to life."

The app is is live now on Android or iOS, it's free, and you can even try it out on the cover image below to see what it's like. Of course, you'll need a copy of Heavy Metal #289 (in stores now) to see the rest of the pages.

Download on Android or iOS .

Heavy Metal AR is an AR application for your phone that allows you to scan select pages of Heavy Metal Magazine issue #289 and bring them to life.

Heavy Metal Issue 289 features Neon Wasteland an all new interactive animated comic book and augmented reality enabled action adventure video game. The story takes place in a dystopian future where the rich have abandoned their bodies in exchange for the digital immortality of the OmniVerse while the poor are left to grow old and die on the post apocalyptic sprawling factory slum know as Earth. You help decide who lives and dies in this interactive adventure that blends comic, cartoon and video game into a new form of story telling unlike anything you've ever experienced.
