We're starting a new feature here at the Hero Complex called "The Essential Shelf" in which we invite some esteemed talents to tell us about their favorite graphic novels. Our first guest is Gerard Way, the lead singer of the rock band My Chemical Romance and the writer of "The Umbrella Academy," the wonderfully surreal Dark Horse series that (we hear) may be coming to a theater near you in the next few years.

| Just One Question. |
[18 Jul 2008|10:33am] |
|
I was at the Wal-Mart I work at, and I saw the Black Parade Is Dead, only it said 'edited.' Is there an unedited version for sale at other retailers, or just edited?

Hey guys, I need a little help with something here...
I read this quote a long time ago, like the beginning of the year, and it's stuck to my head ever since. I think it was Mikey that said it, and it was basically about high school being the worst time of your life or something like that. So, I would really appreciate if someone could find it for me so I can live in peace without this half quote I remember haunting me, lol.

When MCR filmed The Black Parade Is Dead! DVD, they signed one of the Super 8 cameras used in the shoot, and that camera is now being auctioned off for a benefit for The Waverly School, a progressive and developmental school in Pasadena, California spanning Young Kindergarten through high school. To start bidding, click here.

The Eyeball Records Store is having a big sale - you can get I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love for $5 and Pencey Prep's Heartbreak in Stereo, also for $5.
There's some other awesome stuff up as well - it's worth taking a look around here.

| MCR Interlude Cover Poster |
[15 Jul 2008|03:09am] |
Hi guys, as some of you may remember, in 2005 Interlude magazine gave away an awesome MCR poster with a subscription to their magazine. It was only available for one month and so it's kind of hard to find now, but through my site (www.theimmortalityproject.com) I negotiated with them to have it re-released. They're selling all the remaining posters they had in storage for $15 including tax and shipping, PLUS you can get another poster free when you order it. I had the info posted on my site but I thought more people might be interested so I decided to post it here too. Full disclosure: a percentage of the profit from the sale of these posters is going towards my site to keep it running. But the poster is still totally awesome.

On this day 31 years ago, a child was born in the promised land of Kearny, New Jersey. He emerged from the womb clad with an afro and clutching a Les Paul. Let us join in celebration of this marvelous day.
WHOOOOO TORO'S BIRTHDAY! Commencing my own epic jam session in honor of the man with the plan.

| Gerard interview on Kevin and Bean on KROQ 7/14/08 |
[14 Jul 2008|03:00pm] |
Gerard was on KROQ this morning. I was able to listen to the first 10 or so minutes, but couldn't finish it. He talks about TUA, living in LA, and other stuff.
http://www.kroq.com/
Click KEVIN AND BEAN on the left, then the red and white PODCAST button. Gerard comes on at about 23:30 in the podcast.
EDIT: All I'm gonna say is - WATCH YOUR ASS, PAUL. WATCH IT. >.>

| MCR Review - General |
[13 Jul 2008|10:43pm] |
I was cleaning out my computer, and found this article/bio/review I wrote for my Music class 3 years ago. I was originally going to do it on Refused, but when it became impossible to find any information on them, I switched to MCR. Ah well, it got me an A+. Who am I to complain? I absolutely do not remember my sources for some information, as we were not required to cite, but rather write a review of a band and an album. Most of the info is from articles I had read at the time.
( so it focused mainly on Three Cheers. back in the good ole days )

Woo! Scheduling for Comic-Con San Diego just went up, and look at this!
Saturday, July 26
2:15-3:15 Grant Morrison and Gerard Way: Born Under a Black Sun— Grant Morrison (The Invisibles) and Gerard Way (The Umbrella Academy) discuss death, death, and everything: comics, culture, the war on youth, and how you can fight back. This panel will change your life! Room 6B
The con IS sold out, though, so if you don't already have tickets you probably won't manage to get any without paying out the butt for them.
Edit, this panel as well looks like it will feature Gerard, even though he's not actually listed for it:
12:00-1:00 Dark Horse Comics— Dark Horse director of publicity Jeremy Atkins and a host of Dark Horse editors and creators present a firsthand look at the future of comics. You will be given insight into the next chapter of the breakout hit series The Umbrella Academy, as well as a look at what the future holds for all of your other favorite series and characters. With exciting announcements and surprise guests, you won't want to be anywhere else. Room 2
It's also on Saturday, so I'm not sure how we'll be able to do both panels so close together...
Edit #2:
Thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mcr_lovah for this: In the interview with kevin and bean he said he was going to do a dark horse signing from 4:00-5:30pm.

| MCR playing Frances Bean's 16th b-day |
[11 Jul 2008|02:48pm] |
Just thought this might interest you guys. Apparently MCR will be playing Frances Bean Cobain's sweet sixteen.
It seems that Courtney Love wrote an angry post about Billy Corgan NOT playing the party and mentioned that Gerard and My Chem were playing...
Here's what Courtney wrote (if you can understand any of it):
"corgan

Earlier today I was on KROQ's website and I noticed it said that Gerard was going to be on Kevin and Bean next week.
link here! (click "Kevin & Bean" on the left side and you'll see it right away)
I haven't been listening to KROQ lately and I totally have no clue when the next Kevin and Bean is. Does anyone happen to know?

I live in the UK and received my LE of The Black Parade Is Dead! today (actually it arrived while everyone was out so we had to drag our asses into town via bus and then get it from Royal Mail and then bus back, which if it was for anything other than MCR, I would never have bothered) and when I finally put it into my DVD player it refused to play because of the USA/Canada region code. Have other people had this problem?

| The Black Parade Wikipedia Article |
[09 Jul 2008|03:48pm] |
|
Hey everyone, basically I've been slaving over The Black Parade Wikipedia article now for some time and it has now just been promoted to a Good Article, so basically it is of pretty good quality. I want to push it towards it being a Featured Article. I don't know how some of you feel about Wikipedia but I was wondering if you guys could help me out with this article. Maybe add some more stuff yourself or let me know what you think should be added. I bet there's some more information that can be added, possibly magazine articles or other information that I didn't have access to while editing it. Maybe some of the awards and stuff it won can be added or something. I don't know, I just know a lot of you know quite a bit about the band and any help or comments are always appreciated.
