Neil Young and Gerard Way Comics Becoming a Reality

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 like My Chemical Romance. I wonder if “Man” could define “original?”

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

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

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!!!

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

Gerard Way is the most creative original person ever,dont be jealous of the fact that hes better than you,you wish you had his sucess and fame and artistry,suck it up!,and by the way,the world is crap and we are in the best country but,its becoming crap,and it didnt used to be that way,so “emotional” [they are not emo they are heartfelt] bands point out how the worlds last hope is becoming damned by people.we are lucky to be in america,but even america our last hope “The Best Country” has humans corrupting it.so i think your full of it.thats the only thing you can come up with to diss bands:worst complaint EVER!,i do agree bands that are in it just to be emo and are not trying to make a difference in the world whatever it be,they are pointless,they are just a screaming tune to listen to,but they put out no meaning whatsoever and those are the bands i diss,bands need to use their audience [teenagers] to let them know whats going on, teenagers head’s are wrapped up in their music so they use that a comunication,and the comic is something he can do for himself,to know he has accomplished his dream since he was a young kid to make a comic book series,and he has accomplished that,and that is a huge inspiration to me and other fans to follow our dreams,even if its not likely,just keep trying,so i completely despise anyone who tries to say Gerard Way is not creative and original,FYI there is no other band like MCR because they are so unique so SHOVE IT!
