i got the preview copy. i actually got two b/c i convinced myself that i will hunt gerard down and make him sign one of the copies.
i'm really looking forward to the actual series. it's supposed to come out in september, but that info isn't up on dark horse's site, so i don't know how true it is.
but yea, i thought it was really good. it does a good job of introducing all the characters, but not TOO much Wink

yea, i noticed the song lyrics/my chem elements in there too.
did anyone else see the completed drawing for space boy and realize how similar it looks to the sketch he was doing in LOTMS? i think that gerard may have done all of the preliminary character sketches/had a nice long chat w/ the artist ( i forgot his name) to get his vision actually completed. i'm so happy for him, it looks fantastic and it looks like it's going to be an amazing series.

Yeah I got it today! It was the last copy too. The story sounds great but the art I'm not too thrilled about....it seems a bit......rushed.

I thought it was pretty good. It's the first actual non-manga comic book I've read so it took me awhile to get used to reading it forewards. ^-^U

yep! It was great, but the art did feel rushed. The actual characters were cool and creative.

i loved that the title for it was even an mcr lyric

i thought it was good

but, ive only ever read heartbreak comics before so dont really have anything similar to compare it to

im gonna buy it when its released though =)

i think its awesome for gerard that its coming out! im well happy for him being able to release a comic that he's written =D

I did. I went to basically every single comic book store around here and got one from each. NOLIE. hahaha. I was soo excited. <3 It's really good! I'll definately be reading it when it actually comes out.

It's good though, because I'm a huge Gerard Way fan AND comic book fan. So, I basically have both. :]

Well, my art teacher is really anti-manga so she brought a few comic books a few days ago and I liked the artwork. It wasn't superman or spiderman or anything.
There is actually a varity of storylines and characters. Their kinda cool to read. The colors are distracting but pretty. @.@
