Gerard Way Reveals Comic Plans

2006-07-26 by Stormy Smiley Face | 13 Comments
Gerard Way, of My Chemical Romance, has announced his plans to soley write a comic-book series titled "Umbrella Academy" with several artists drawing the comic-book.

Dark Horse Comics, a popular comic company, issued this statement:

"Umbrella Academy is the story of seven extraordinary, maladjusted individuals, their triumphs, tragedies, failures and disappointments," says a statement from Dark Horse. "Most importantly, it's about a family of superhumans who need to learn to get past their spectacularly dysfunctional childhoods to defeat the Conductor and his evil Black Orchestra and do what they were born to: save the world."

The first issue of the series will come out sometime in mid-2007

This isn't surprising, considering Way is a failed comic artist.

I thought his tv show, THe Breakfest Monkey, was pretty clever so I might buy this.

Not really failed, if you have ever seen Life of the Murder Scene (I'm guessing you haven't) he says he was on his way to work as a comic book artist, witnessed 9/11 happen and thought what am I doing with my life? Slaying away making art for some cooperation, etc. Than he went home and wrote Skylines and Turnstiles.

But yeah his art is pretty neat even though I am more anticipating MCR's next album.This Message Edited On 07.26.06

the funny thing here is that no matter how bad this comic may be, it will still sell well because it carries gerard's name. i personally think that this is a horrifying idea...
