The Umbrella Academy - G. Way news

Gerard Way, who I have come to realize is called "Gee" by his obviously more devoted than myself following, is releasing a comic book entitled, "The Umbrella Academy."

Dark Horse describes The Umbrella Academy as the story of Sir Reginald Hargreeves — a "world-renowned scientist and inventor, intrepid adventurer, successful entrepreneur, champion cricketer and closet space alien...and his family of superpowered, super-abnormal superheroes."

The comic is being released through Dark Horse Comics

Can I have a moment here? I want everyone to take special notice of the stupid things written in this article that I assume are supposed to be funny:

- "Perhaps we should just hold a tournament to determine the geekiest rock band in the world."

Shame-free says - I think a better tournament would be to see who is the crappiest music television station. Wait, that wouldn't even last long enough to bother.

-"My Chemical Romance frontman, artist and longtime comic aficionado Gerard Way took steps to reclaim his uncool crown, announcing plans to pen his very own comic book series."

Shame-free says - Hasn't it been like a million years since people sterotyped comic book people are uber-nerds? Get with the times MTV...bunch of losers...

-"Mikey's superpower would probably be Lasik-related"

Shame-free says - I know he got the surgery but what does this even mean? It's just stupid.
