Dark Horse Comics. Portland. FTW! living in this city for my entire life and i didn't know they were the third largest comics publisher in the US! i think it's very fitting that Gerard chose a publisher that's got an edge and is based in a city that has an edge and a half.

very excited to see the final result of the comic after seeing a little preview of it. sugarshock on the dark horse myspace has such an awesome style. check it out if you can't wait for TUA. srsly.

I read on MCR's LiveJournal that Gerard's doing a comic book signing on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at Forbidden Planet (Union Square location) in New York City (4-6 pm), and Thursday, Sept. 20 at Newbury Comics (Newsbury Street location) in Boston, Massachussets (4-6 pm)

Too bad I can't go. Living on the west coast sucks sometimes

That was a great interview with Ba! I really liked how he handled the questions about Gerard--he does not overly praise him. I'm kind of sick of MCR fans thinking Gerard can do everything and did everything with TUA. With Ba, James Jean or Dave Stewart, who are all acclaimed and talented artists, TUA would just be a story on paper. The only people who would lap it up would be impressionable MCR fans. But the team has both credibility and talent and seems like it can be taken seriously in the comic book world.
Truthfully, I want to read TUA b/c Gerard wrote it, and I like his work. However, I didn't think it would be super amazing or have the feeling it would be, but I hoped it would be. But the by the way everyone else (as in non-MCR fans) have been going on about it, it sounds really great.

And Ba addressed the stubborn manga fans! That made me giggle. So true...some kids only think Mangas are the only good kind of graphics novels.


Can't wait!

Charlotte Paranoia!:
I thought that Gerard just wrote the story for the comic? And that other dude does the drawings? *is confused*


yes, Gerard is the master of the wicket script. Gabriel Ba & twin Fabio Moon & other artists I believe [of whom I don't have names for offhand...] are the illustrators for TUA. check out more info on Gabriel and the making of TUA on Gabriel's myspace
