ARTICLE: Grant Morrison and Gerard Way Cure our San Diego Comic-Con Withdrawals at Meltdown Comics
Morrison is part of the pantheon of comic book greats. The dapper, Scottish writer is responsible for the Batman classic Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. He created late-1990s series The Invisibles and co-created the character Xorn during his time working on X-Men. When DC relaunches this fall, he'll be handling Action Comics.
Last night, Morrison was at comic hub Meltdown to promote his latest book, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human. Though Supergods was the catalyst for this appearance, the discussion touched on many aspects of his career.
Way opened the night by recalling an early encounter with Morrison. It was at the end of the 1990s and he was inside DC's New York City headquarters when the spotted the famed writer. He likened Morrison's appearance, wearing rubber despite the heat, he added, to "King Mob from The Invisibles."
Over time, Way and Morrison have become friends and the former speaks of the latter as an influential figure in his life. It was fitting then that Way conduct this live interview.
Way brought up an interesting misconception about Morrison, that many may believe "that he's like Tim Leary" in regards to drug experimentation. Morrison noted that he was "straightedge" until he reached his 30s, describing himself as a "straightedge good boy mod" in his early career. This led to a conversation about The Invisibles and, in particular, the "method acting" approach that Morrison took while he was writing the series. He discussed how he took on aspects of the characters personalities as he worked, sometimes even becoming sick when they would get sick.

NEWS: Time to buy My Chemical Romance's watch
If you ask Gerard Way for the time, he might send you to his band's website.
Yes, My Chemical Romance fans, it's about time you picked up the MCR custom Tokyoflash Watch from mychemicalromance.com/shop. The limited-edition Seikatsu Koujou Kyokusen has a brushed stainless-steel case and a white, leather strap. (This would have been a great tie-in for the Beastie Boys when "Time to Get Ill" hit the airwaves: It could have been called the "What's the time? It's time to get ill!" watch.)
The $125 timepiece is also a USB rechargeable watch -- to replenish the battery, just connect to your computer with the included USB cable. A full charge, which takes around three and a half hours, will keep the watch's colorful display running for a month, according to a statement announcing the new MCR accessory. There are 300 charges in one battery and the battery is replaceable.
No wonder Seikatsu Koujou translates to "better living."
And if you order right now, you might have it for the MCR and blink-182 shows at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater Saturday and next Sunday. As the kids will tell you, that will be time well spent.

ARTICLE: Comic Con: The Adventures of a Gerard Way Fan
f you didn't know already, I'm a huge fan of the band My Chemical Romance. And when frontman Gerard Way broke into comics with The Umbrella Academy, I followed suit. Although he has always been just as of a nerd as the rest of us, now he had a legitimate reason to attend Comic Con every year. And ever since, I have been trying to win the raffle for his signing, and every year, I have lost. Until this year.I spent the entire day in the Exhibit Hall massing as many raffle tickets as I could. This year, I wasn't going to accept defeat. Finally, I won. I lined up at 1pm at the Dark Horse booth for the signing, and once again, got to meet my hero. But instead of having him sign one of my issues of Umbrella Academy or a My Chemical Romance poster, I asked him to sign my arm so I could get it tattooed.
I looked at it and shook my head. "It's perfect. Thank you." I honestly don't remember what he or I said as I walked away. I was just ecstatic that I was finally going to get a tattoo that I have been wanting for a long time. But little did I know, once I turned the corner away from where Gerard was signing, would his little brother Mikey, be waiting for us. Although I had met Gerard before, this was the first time I got to meet his brother. I had him sign my arm right below where Gerard signed. Although it wasn't the plan, apparently it was my lucky day. One half of My Chemical Romance down, one half to go. And just behind Mikey, was yet another idol of mine, Lindsey Way. Artist and member of the rock band Mindless Self Indulgence. This was yet again, the first time I got to meet her.
All in all, it was a great day. I walked a few blocks into the Gaslamp and got both autographs tattooed at a parlor called Nothing Sacred. Here is how she looked the next morning:
Being the awesome person that he is, Gerard proceeded to ask me where, how big, how exactly I wanted him to sign it. All that I asked was that he write "keep it ugly" then sign. Other than that, I wanted him to do his thing. He's the artist, not me. Once he was done, he sat back, critisizing his work. I knew by his face that he really wanted to erase it and start again. "You might want them to clean that up."
All in all, it was a great day. I walked a few blocks into the Gaslamp and got both autographs tattooed at a parlor called Nothing Sacred. Here is how she looked the next morning:
However, the story does not end there. I'm not going to lie, I decided to walk the Exhibit Hall for a while on Saturday with a specific goal of maybe running into Gerard and Mikey again so I could show them my tattoo. But, I never did. I did however get calls and messages from numerous friends about the people that they randomly ran into. Misha Collins from Supernatural. Ray Toro, another member of My Chemical Romance. And yes, at dinner that night, I had to listen to the story of how someone ran into Gerard and Mikey in the Hall. So basically, I hated the world for a little while. Despite all the people that I have met, I have never ran into any of my heroes or idols randomly. That is, until 2:30 sunday morning.
Before deciding to try and get some sleep in line for Hall H, me and one of my new line buddies walked across the street to the Hilton to find a bathroom. In the lobby, I found a girl I had met and kept meeting in line throughout the weekend. We stopped to talk for a minute. The lobby was pretty empty, considering it was 2:30 in the morning. There was only one other group of people lounging on the couches on the other side of the room. After a few minutes, I glanced over to them. It took me a good ten seconds to react before I literally started freaking out.
Who was it sitting in one of those couches? None other than Gerard Way. Despite the fact that I was face to face with him a little over 24 hours before, it didn't matter. I flipped. Here it was, my chance to show off the lovely work on my arm, and I could barely move. It took someone pulling me over to the other side of the room for me to move. Before I knew it, I was once again standing in front of my hero in every way possible with an adorable bemused smile on his face. He knew I was having a hard time with this, and his smile wasn't making it any easier on me.
The guy that pulled me over told him, "she has something to show you." And before Gerard could look at my face again, I pulled up my sleeve and revealed the tattoo that just started to scab over. I'm not sure if he didn't believe me the day before when I told him I was going to do it, or if it was all part of his genuine humility, but the surprise on his face was priceless. He leaned forward to examine it closer and made several comments on how great it looked and how much he loved that it still looked like the texture of a marker, and not a tattoo. He laughed at Mikey's scribble beneath his artsy, loopy handwriting, then proceeded to thank me over and over again. I shook my head and told him that it was all because of the band that I was okay to begin with. This was my thank you to them.
And before I could start tearing up over how grateful he looked that a fan would appreciate what they have done so much to get their autographs tattooed on her arm forever, one of my friends walked over and asked if Gerard could take a picture with me. He was more than willing. Yeah, so much for sleeping that night.
I would totally show you guys the picture, but I'm waiting for it to be emailed to me since it wasn't taken on my camera. I'm pretty sure I can die happily now.

ARTICLE: Grant Morrison, Gerard Way talk ‘Supergods’ in L.A.
The two are among the elite creators in comics these days with Morrison writing key Superman and Batman arcs in recent years and Way chronicling the surreal adventures of “The Umbrella Academy.”
Way also has a day job as lead singer and art director of My Chemical Romance (the band is now preparing to tour with Blink-182) and Morrison portrayed a memorable bad-guy in their music video for the hit “Sing.”
I’ll be there Thursday for sure. Hope to see you there as well.

ARTICLE: My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way has got the time
He didn’t merely toss out another garage-punk powerchorder with their recent “Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys” — he scripted it as a futuristic, almost operatic, concept album, with a series of videos, even a graphic novel, that elaborate on its “Clockwork Orange” type themes. But what else would you expect from a man who’s simultaneously penning an Eisner-Award-winning superhero comic called “The Umbrella Academy”?
So don’t look so stunned when we tell you of MCR’s latest fashionable venture: A custom Tokyo Flash watch, sold exclusively at their website for an affordable $125.
Made in conjunction with Better Living Industries, the Seikatsu Koujou Kyokusen timepiece looks like something one of Way’s Killjoys gang would sport years from now. With a push of its high-tech button, it shows the time via an arced array of lit lines and dots that denote hours and minutes. It’s got a stainless-steel buckle, it’s water-resistant, and is USB-rechargeable — plug it into your computer for three-and-a-half hours, and you’re good to go for a full month.
Just one more reason why we love these guys.

NEWS: Rawson Thurber To Rewrite 'The Umbrella Academy' For Universal
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.
The comic revolves around an adopted dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers who are brought together by a mentor. As children, they defeat the Eiffel Tower when it’s turned into a laser-spewing structure by a zombie robot. In later installments of the comic, the kids disband but reunite as adults after their mentor is killed.
It’s the second Dark Horse property at Universal, which will begin production on RIPD in September. Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson will produce with Scott Stuber and his Stuber Films banner. Pam Abdy will oversee the project for Stuber and also produce, and the author is executive producer. Thurber’s repped by CAA.
