The big rock news at this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con is that Vertigo, the division of DC Comics that published The Sandman, will turn Neil Young’s 2003 concept album Greendale into a graphic novel. The story will follow Sun Green, “a teenager and burgeoning activist whose life is changed when a mysterious stranger pays a visit to her small town,” and will be written by Joshua Dysart, who recently crafted Avril Lavigne’s manga, Make 5 Wishes. My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way also confirmed his comic, The Umbrella Academy, will be published in September by Dark Horse, home to the likes of Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Wars. Way, a self-professed comic fan, says his story is based on “a closet space alien [who] has adopted seven extraordinary children to save the world.”

I thought that concept sounded too lame for Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub, as was originally reported here.

“Does Neil Young realize he has done nothing relevant since Harvest?”

-dude, you have no idea what you are talking about!

That Gerard Way is sooooo talented! Not only is he fronting the greatest rock band of all time, but he’s also coming out with his own line of comics in September (coincidentally the start of the school season)! Man, I wonder if those comics will be plugging or making any reference to his band at all? Nahhh, Gerard is too great and talented! Those comics should sell based on their own merit and ingenuity. Who cares that they’re drawn by the frontman of the greatest band around! Kids will buy them because those comics will be so great! Right?? yeahh aiggghhhtttt!!!

Does Neil Young realize he has done nothing relevant since Harvest?

Richard Legner | 7/31/2007, 1:36 pm EST

man is right…my chemical romance SUCKS. I hate that shit…along with all the other emo crap. Fuck you, your life is not that bad. You live in the greatest country on earth, in mankind’s most prosperous time. What’s to bitch about? I hate music that is all about exploiting patheitc, sad little teenagers and their unfounded emotions.

Fuck emo
