The third installment of Image Comics and Ken Garing’s Planetoid hits shelves this week, adding a much needed human element to the arc.

Their cover of Hell’s Bells didn’t really do much for me but I’m really interested to hear Madonna‘s Frozen and Depeche Mode‘s Stripped.

Check out a video after the jump that features sound clips and interviews with several of the members.
