"A compelling story, with amazing art to back it."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This comic is easily one of the best I've read. The story opens and as it unfolds it brings you with it, feeding you the lore of the world as it goes in a way that feels natural and not like a lore dump, or telling you it in a condescending way like you should already know it. The art for this (fully coloured) comic is outstanding, and works to enhance the story and help you immerse yourself in the world. Do yourself a favour and pick this comic up, you wont regret it.

Comic is great, just a tad disappointed as the comics back cover arrived dented. Other then that love it, amazing service as always.

Description

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 or else join the mindless ranks of Battery City! Join Gerard Way and Shaun Simon as they sing the stories of the fabulous Killjoys, the final chapter of the Danger Days saga by My Chemical Romance.

Author Biography:

Gerard Way is a singer, songwriter, and comic book writer who is perhaps best known as the lead singer of the band My Chemical Romance. With My Chemical Romance, Way found fame and acclaim and toured with the band from 2001 to 2013. In addition to his music, Way is the Eisner Award-winning writer of The Umbrella Academy and TheTrue Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. You can learn more about Way and his art atgerardway.com. Shaun Simon is the former keyboardist for the New Jersey band Pencey Prep, which he founded with Frank Iero and John McGuire. Following the band's breakup in 2002, he accompanied Gerard Way's band, My Chemical Romance, on tour. It was while on tour that many of the ideas for the Killjoys comic book took shape. At the 2012 New York Comic Con, it was announced that a first look at the series would be released on 2013's Free Comic Book Day. The series is drawn by artist Becky Cloonan and edited by Sierra Hahn. Simon has also worked outside the comics medium and was the winner of the Preditors & Editors readers poll for his flash fiction story "Snowman." The author lives in Montclair, New Jersey. Becky Cloonan is a comic book artist, writer, and creator. Cloonan was educated at New York's School of Visual Arts. After graduating, she began working on Channel Zero- Jennie One. Cloonan is known for her work on 9-11, MySpace Dark Horse Presents, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Conan the Barbarian. You can learn more about Cloonan at beckycloonan.net.
