“Dark Horse Comics president Mike Richardson has teased the future of Umbrella Academy. Richardson confirmed that a third series of Gerard Way’s Eisner and Harvey Award-winning title is in the works, during an interview with Comic Book Resources”
“Super friends and cosmic dreamers Grant Morrison and Gerard Way will appear together Thursday at Meltdown Comics (7522 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles) for a discussion of Morrison’s acclaimed new book Supergods, which is a sort of meditation on meta-humanity.”
“Dodgeball director Rawson Thurber is rewriting The Umbrella Academy for Universal Pictures, based on the 2008 Eisner Award-winning Dark Horse comic written by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way. Mark Bomback wrote the first draft.”
My Chemical Romance leader Gerard Way is not your average rocker. Sure, the fuchsia-haired frontman has just one-upped the group’s theatrical 2006 breakthrough, “The Black Parade,” with an even more outrageous set, the genre-jumping “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys,” which he’s complemented with a post-apocalyptic video serial, a mythical band from this futuristic scenario (The Mad Gear and Missile Kid) and a graphic novel he’s currently scripting. But Way is also the Eisner Award-winning author of “The Umbrella Academy,” a comic concerning a ragtag group of superheroes that’s already been optioned in Hollywood.
Check out Becky Cloonan’s amazing My Chemical Romance poster for Rock Sound magazine. Becky is the artist for the upcoming Killjoys comic book that Gerard is writing.

Grant Morrison, the esteemed comic book writer and close friend of Gerard Way, has played the role of Korse in MCR’s recent music videos.
