Look Alive Sunshine- Comic Book Follow-up to the My Chemical Romance Album “Danger Days” :: Blog :: Dark Horse Comics

The Acclaimed Comic Book Follow-up to the My Chemical Romance Album “Danger Days” is Now in Hardcover

The direct tie-in to the My Chemical Romance album Danger Days is being collected as an over-sized hardcover in THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS: CALIFORNIA LIBRARY EDITION! Written by Gerard Way (The Umbrella Academy, My Chemical Romance) and Shaun Simon (Neverboy, Collapser), illustrated by Becky Cloonan (American Virgin, The Punisher), colored by Dan Jackson (The Strain, Ghost), and lettered by Nate Piekos (Fight Club 3, The Umbrella Academy), THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS: CALIFORNIA LIBRARY EDITION will feature an all new cover by Becky Cloonan.

Years ago, the Killjoys fought against the tyrannical megacorporation Better Living Industries, costing them their lives, save for one—the mysterious Girl. Today, the followers of the original Killjoys languish in the Desert while BLI systematically strips citizens of their individuality. As the fight for freedom fades, it’s left to the Girl to take up the mantle and bring down the fearsome BLI!

We also get a new cover by Becky Cloonan, and her work is always spectacular, as it is inside the pages of this volume.” –Gerard Way
