The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: California by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon
5.0
I cannot give this collection anything other than five stars.
I've been a MCR fan for years, yet I havne't read this graphic novel until just now. I found that having listened to the album 'Danger Days' countless numbers of times in the past years as well as having watched the music videos for "Na Na Na" and "SING", I was already quite immersed in this world and unlike some reviews I've come acros, I didn't find the story to be inconsistent or flat. Rather I was quite unable to stop turning the pages. Whenever I wasn't pouring over the pages and the images to discover and revel in the details.
I havne't read that many graphic novels, but I am sure this won't be my lasst.
I don't think this Killjoy-triangle, the album, the music videos and the comic, take anything from each other. In stead I found that they sort of give a lot to each other back and forth and I am honestly so happy I read this - finally. And it was definitely an experience reading this while listening to the 'Danger Days' album.
It's a little hard for me to seperate the stories of the album, the videos and the comic completely, but I really loved the story of True Lives ... and the artwork just added to the whole-ness of the universe and the story of the Killjoys, the B.L.I. and the Girl.
I really don't know what to say except that I loved it. I love it.
