The first Bag On Line Adventures comic.

The Bag On Line Adventures is a series of comic books written by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez. The storyline used in The Bag On Line Adventures is also the focus of the band's music. The only edition of The Bag On Line Adventures published so far is The Second Stage Turbine Blade and much of the plotline remains hidden or even unwrittten (for instance, the orgin of the title The Bag On Line Adventures is not known).

Synopsis

The story takes place in the distant past in our galaxy. Heaven's Fence (or the Fence) is a group of 78 planetary systems connected by a visible energy beam known as the Keywork. Seven star transformers keep the Keywork operational. Three races, the Prise, humanity, and the Mages, occupy the Fence. The Mages rule over humankind, the Prise protect the Keywork, and the humans make up the general population of the Fence. Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan's rule has lasted for dozens of years and has descended into tyranny. A young female mage, named Mariah, has risen to power on Paris Earth (commonly believed to be our Earth) and represents a major threat to Ryan- she is gaining followers because she opposes Ryan's rule and demands justice.

One of Ryan's generals, Mayo Deftinwolf, creates a plan to rid the Fence of Mariah: Coheed Killgannon is the unknowing and unwitting carrier of a dormant virus known as the Monstar. When activated, the Monstar endows its host with the ability to destroy star transformers and separate planets from the Keywork's unifying energy beam, resulting in an apocalypse for the inhabitants of the separated planets as they smash into other astronomical bodies. Mayo plans to activate the Monstar and send Coheed and his wife, Cambria, to Paris Earth, in hopes that the Monstar will only destroy the star transformer at Paris Earth, thus causing Paris Earth to break free of the Fence, ridding Wilhem of Mariah.

Coheed and Cambria Killgannon are a married couple living on a planet whose name has not been revealed. They have four children: Matthew, Maria (not to be confused with Mariah), Josephine, and Claudio. Matthew and Maria are twins, appearing to be seven years old or younger. Josephine is almost 23 and Claudio appears around the age of 20.

The Second Stage Turbine Blade

The first comic book (after a mysterious and as of yet nonsensical few pages featuring Coheed's brother, Jesse) begins with an explanation of the Prise, the Mages, the Keywork, the Fence, and other fictional concepts central to the understanding of Coheed and Cambria's imaginary reality. This explanation is given by Jesse's unnamed son, widely believed to be a robot of some sort and one of the main protagonists in the band's second album. This belief, like many, can neither be confirmed nor denied until more information is released by the band.

Coheed and Cambria are created members of a defunct organization known as K.B.I.: the Knowledge, the Beast, and the Inferno. The organization's purpose was to protect the Keywork from terrorist activity. The creator, however, turned out to be a terrorist himself and put the Monstar virus into Coheed. The organization was disbanded and Coheed and Cambria's memories were wiped. Jesse, Coheed's brother and the third member of the organization, is supposedly out to activate the Monstar virus in Coheed. This information is provided by Mayo, a figure we know has malicious intentions, so its accuracy is disputed by many fans.

Coheed and Cambria's children are said to contain an evolution of the Monstar virus known as the Sinstar. It is much more dangerous and the couple is convinced to kill their children for the safety of humanity. The first comic book ends with Coheed putting poison into a green drink and bringing it to the two sleeping twins. The couple, upon killing their children, plan to fly to Paris Earth to receive a cure for Coheed's Monstar. The truth is that Mayo and Ryan plan to release thousands of dragonflies on Paris Earth, each with the ability to inject a specific serum called the Ciache into humans. If Coheed is injected with the serum, the Monstar will be activated the second he makes eye contact with Cambria and Paris Earth will be knocked from the Keywork. The Prise discover Mayo's plan and vow to stop it by stopping the dragonflies, as their duty is to protect Heaven's Fence.

Additional Information

Beyond this point, the actual progression of events is any educated person's guess. A few important plot points are known to be true, or at least possibly true:

  • Coheed and Cambria kill Maria, Matthew, and Josephine.
  • Coheed and Cambria make it to Paris Earth and the Monstar is activated in Coheed.
  • Paris Earth is separated from the Keywork, and this separation is central to the storyline.
  • Both Coheed and Cambria are dead at the end of the first album.
  • Someone, possibly Claudio, falls asleep at the end of the first album and dreams the events of the first few tracks on the second album.
  • Claudio becomes a Christ-figure known as the Crowing.
  • The second album centers mostly on Claudio and Chase, a young robot girl created by Jesse.
  • Claudio and Chase both have powers which, when used together, make the pair unstoppable.
  • Al the Killer is the psychopathic, racist pilot of the space ship The Velorium Camper. Al is important to the main characters' quest and likes to kill white girls.
  • The second CD concludes with a small group of individuals, including Claudio, headed for the home of the Prise. There is evidence Claudio wishes to destroy the Prise.
  • Ambellina is one of the Prise, as mentioned in "The Crowing", supposedly sent to become more human-like in order to help Claudio save Paris Earth.
