In 2008, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way seized the momentum of his Eisner win for The Umbrella Academy and pitched a Batman series to DC. Not just any wing of DC, either. Its mature-readers imprint, Vertigo. Saturday, he finally revealed some of the early designs for that never-to-be-published series, titled "Kingdom of the Mad." The art has a sort of Tim Burton-y quality to it (but more Edward Scissorhands than Batman '89), with a sort of patchwork Batman and a sinister Mr. Freeze. Check out what Way had to say about the project on Twitter, as well as his designs, after the jump!
After 12 years My Chemical Romance has come to an end, but just as the band and its music live on, so too will Dark Horse's upcoming comic set in the futuristic world of their alter-egos, The Killjoys. MCR frontman and acclaimed Umbrella Academy creator Gerard Way, co-writer Shaun Simon, artist Becky Cloonan and colorist Dan Jackson's The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #1 is still cruising f
New Year: Happy 2013, everybody... except mutants. According to the classic "Days of Future Past" storyline by Chris Claremont and John Byrne (specifically Uncanny X-Men #141, originally released on January 10, 1981), you guys aren't going to have the best year...

First announced back in January, MorrisonCon seems to be a stylish and forward-thinking antidote to the chaos and commercialism of the traditional comic book trade show. Curated by Grant Morrison and the Ignition Sequence (a collaboration of Isotope proprietors James Sime & Kirsten Baldock and iFanboy co-founder Ron Richards) and featuring no showroom floor, no merchandise dealers, and no line
The second of Grant Morrison's My Chemical Romance music videos has been released into the ether, and it contains some hints as to the background of his devilish character. "SING" features Morrison encased in some kind of stasis tube deep within the basement levels of something called the Better Living Corporation, which My Chemical Romance - in the guise of of the Killjoys -- attempt to
Given the relatively limited amount of story unveiled thus far in Dark Horse's "Umbrella Academy," it's a real testament to the strength of the book that fans of Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba's series are so wildly into it.
