How long is the process of creating a plot and a finished issue for the UA?
What is the one message you would like your readers to get from reading the UA?
With your busy schedual, how did you find the time to begin the UA?
Does/did it feel strange to be moving along to a new project that doesn't involve the rest of your band mates?
With comic books such as Spiderman and X-men being turned into movies, if you were offered a movie deal for the UA would you accept? Why?

You are soo lucky Shocked

Is there anything in the UA that is about your own personal experiences?
Are any of the characters like you?
Do you think this comic book will be successful?

I wanted to know...just in general, you could ask Gerard if you like:

Where/how did this facination of umbrellas start? Or what is the significance of the umbrella?

Personally I think what triggered the appearances of umbrellas in the media was MCR's Helena, then Gerard created the UA. On the other hand, Rihanna has a hot single with umbrellas in it. I wonder if he would have anything to say to that.

Well, I definatly wouldn't ask personal questions.
I just feel that is an invasion of privacy, so if I was interveiwing him, I would defrinatly not bring up his personal life, but that is just me.

But, I would maybe ask him maybe exactly how he got into music. Who introduced him to his favourite bands and whatnot.
You know, keep it simple.

I think you should definately ask him about IMCRD because I wanted to know if the guys knew and if they didn't you would be the first to let them/him know so that would be pretty cool I guess.


I would like to know if he ever plans on drawing any of TUA or any other comic and if he already has any other ideas for another comic.

Do you think he would like being asked about the band though??? I am not saying you shouldn't ask him about that stuff but I am just not sure if he would want to talk about it. I think it probably gets slightly annoying maybe being asked about the band when he is trying to do something different and seperate and just have his comic appreciated regardless of who he is.

I don't know maybe that is just me.

Good luck and hope it goes well!!!
