My Chemical Romance killed off the Killjoys in spectacular fashion on their Danger Days album. But death didn’t stop co-writers Gerard Way and Shaun Simon from returning to Battery City in 2013. The comic book sequel miniseries, The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, picked up where the MCR record left off. Now, Way and Simon promise to challenge everything you think you know about their beloved band of renegades in an all-new story.

The Killjoys will, once again, make some noise in a six-part comic book series, The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem. The first issue will be released on Oct. 14 through Dark Horse Comics. Based on the original idea that inspired the Danger Days album, it will focus on former Killjoy leader, Mike Milligram.

“In 2010, MCR released a concept record, Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys,” Way and Simon revealed, exclusively to Alternative Press. “The record was inspired by a story that only existed in our minds. In 2013, we wrote a comic book series based on that concept record while the original story lay dormant. Now, in 2020, the story that inspired it all will be told: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem.

“There is no dystopian future—no wasteland to hide out in. Set in the 1990s and 2000s, National Anthem is a completely different story with a whole different set of rules. Mike Milligram and his gang of teenage exterminators operate in the Unseen where they bend reality to keep the real world’s status quo safe. But everything is about to change when the doors of the Unseen are closed and Mike and his Killjoys are thrust into the real world and forced to grow up and get real jobs. Screens, phones and a stagnant malaise become the new normal. When Mike’s TV breaks and his Ramones records seem to have been erased, he starts to wake up. Mike Milligram sets off on a journey to pull the curtains down on a cover-up that could change the course of history, past, present and future.” 

Way and Simon wrote National Anthem alongside illustrator Leonardo Romero, colorist Jordie Bellaire, and letterer Nate Piekos (The Umbrella Academy). 

The first issue will feature a cover by Romero, as seen above, along with two variant covers. One variant will feature an illustration from former Killjoys artist, and longtime Way collaborator, Becky Cloonan. The other alternate cover is by Paul Rentler, whose lo-fi photocopy design work has been previously featured through Way’s DC Comics imprint, DC’s Young Animal. You can see both variants below with Cloonan’s on the left and Rentler’s on the right.

Let’s face it, 2020 has been bleak. But if there’s one thing that can cure our quarantine blues, it’s most certainly a return of the Killjoys. Earlier this year, Dark Horse announced the reissue of the original series in a hardcover edition freshly titled Killjoys: California.

Adorned with a stark, blood-dripping Draculoid cover, this forthcoming reissue was everything we thought our little bulletproof hearts needed. But Way and Simon’s return to the original concept that inspired MCR’s 2010 record promises a fresh take on the material that we have yet to see or can begin to imagine.

The idea of Killjoys sans dystopia, working day jobs and watching their morale decay in the realm of the working stiff as they attempt to unveil a hidden truth feels like The Matrix by way of Descendents lyrics. This is definitely new territory for the Killjoys–and you better believe that we’re down for the ride. 

This is one of the most Italian things Frank has done I've ever seen. THAT POSE! It's like he's gonna yell for someone to stfu, I swear😂

For all my Italian fellows: best caption for this one: AAAOOOOOOOOOO MA VE PARE???

Just beautiful 😂

Do you ever just sit down and think how these past few months would have been if MCR didn't come back? I mean it's funny to make jokes about them talking about their solo projects as if nothing happened, but they definitely had something planned, we just gotta wait. Anyway, I am so so happy they came back 'cause i found them out when i was around 12 and now that I'm almost 21 I can't believe I'm probably gonna see them next year! Also, I found so many new people who listen to them, even irl! I made new friends and grew closer to others. I'm so grateful for their return, it is one of the things that keeps me sane

Today is July 15th guys, and we all know what that means....

IT'S RAY TORO'S BIRTHDAY!!!

He is one of my all time fav guitarists out there and one of my biggest inspirations in music and life. He looks like a really sweet and humble person and I've always found his smile contagious! I really hope he gets to spend a good time with his family and friends, I think he deserves all the happiness in the world!

Look at how amazing they looked on that stage all together! KINGS👑

So guys, I was thinking... what if i did a sort of list of "fun facts" about mcr? I mean, I don't know if you'd be interested in it, but I think it would be cool sharing infos between us :)

I KNEW I SAW THAT GUITAR SOMEWHERE BEFORE!!!

Also, can we get our boy to do a live stream on whatever platform he's comfortable with and just drink coffee/play D&D/talk.... ANYTHING?

Hello fellow MCR stans! As you may know this was a piece of merch that came out in 2008 during the ProRev Tour, (it came out with the 'Mikey fuckin Way' one): it's a Ray Toro t-shirt. The front shows Ray playing the guitar. It is a homage to T-Rex's album cover: The electric warrior. As far as i know it was never available on the online store, BUT I WISH IT WAS. Don't you think it's gorgeous? I do... we should start a petition to introduce it in the MCR online store. Just an idea👀

Please be kind to one another.

Let's not forget that our boys actually came back together♡ these are really hard times, if I can be honest with you my mental health has been at its lowest and it kinda scared me. Now I just don't care. I don't care about myself because people are dying because of a pandemic and BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. FUCK RACISM. BLACK LIVES MATTER.

I have been waiting for what felt like eternity to witness a new release from the american rock band My Chemical Romance and now they release The Foundations Of Decay out of nowhere on Friday the 13 th (In my timezone ) , It is safe to say the ritual has worked
