Who Would Have Thought?
Apparently, Gerard Way is into more than just making music. He’s now making comic books too! Spin.com are reporting that “Gerard Way is trying his hand at comic book writing with the new series, Umbrella Academy”. They also told us a little bit about it. They said: “My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way has taken up a unique side project: writing comic books. The singer signed on with Dark Horse comics to produce a new series called Umbrella Academy, about Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a “world-renowned scientist and inventor, intrepid adventurer, successful entrepreneur, champion cricketer, and closet space-alien,” and his seven super-human kids, according to Dark Horse. In the comics, the kids need to “learn to get past their spectacularly dysfunctional childhoods” to save the world.
The first series of Umbrella Academy will make its debut in early- to mid-2007 with six issues which will then be compiled into a graphic novel.
Interesting concept. I can’t wait to check it out!
