The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: California Review: The perfect read for any MCR fan - First of all, the book looks gorgeous. The cover design is phenomenal and the coloring and art style inside is consistently alluring. The story is wonderful for anyone looking to venture further into the Danger Days universe. I read this within a couple of days because I couldn't stop picking it up every spare moment I had. Now all my friends are borrowing it. It really is the perfect addition to any MCR fan's shelf. Review: This was interesting - I love Gerard Way so this was a must have. Through the first five issues the pacing and story telling was excellent. But something I've noticed with Gerard is he has trouble writing an ending, or more specifically it seems he needs more issues to work with than just six. In the final issue the ending is very much rushed and everything is solved and happens tremendously fast. But besides that, this is something that is fun to read with some call backs to the My Chemical Romance album which was fun.

Amazing book by amazing authors and artists
This was such an amazing read and I loved it so much. The product was a little bent up, but overall in good condition. The story was amazing, as if anything less could be expected by these amazing authors and artists. This was one of the best graphic novels I've read and I would definently recommend it.

A bit confusing but overall very nice
To be honest it is pretty confusing and you have to read it a few times to fully understand what is going on since he explains the story through flashbacks, however once you understand it, it is enjoyable. I like the art, the writer (obviously), and that all the couples in it are subtly gay. I like watching the nanana music video and making the connections to the story and that it brings the characters to life, and I love the whole atmosphere of the killjoys

Wonderful & creative story
The art is great, the story is unique (if a bit strange and sometimes hard to follow) -- a must have for any MCR fan who wants to know a bit more about the universe of the Killjoys and see a different side to the creativity of Gerard Way.

How do I explain The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys? I guess something I need to say is that Danger Days is one of my all time favourite albums and I've always adored the M/Vs for Na Na Na and Sing. The storytelling in them made me happy as a teen. In the message from author Shaun Simon, he reveals that My Chemical Romance ran out of money to make a third video for the album this was their way of continuing the story. The comic was thought of long before the two M/Vs, initially discussed sometime around 2008 Danger Days came out in 2010. I honestly don't know how good this comic would be to someone who didn't know the background, the album. It's not necessarily required and key details are explained but it certainly helps. There are so many references like the radio, the mask and some of Dr Death Defying broadcasts, he is the first person to speak and I read the text in his voice. The story follows The Girl from the M/Vs picking up a few years later as she walks into a store and finds Party Poison's mask for sale. The gist of the plot is her finding out why the men who died for her died for her and discovering her place in the world. All while running into core characters from the M/Vs and ending the story they start. Becky Cloonan has done great work with the art, ageing up The Girl while still looking enough like Grace Jeanette (the actress from Sing and Na Na Na) to be clearly the same character. Korse is given a storyline by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon that makes him likeable (well ish, I mean he killed the Killjoys) but I appreciate the effort redemption arcs are always welcome. This really is a great deal of fun as a fan, though I did have to use Wikipedia to figure out who fits in where at some points (Cherri Cola specifically and they rewrote history with him a bit). Red and Blue have a heart-wrenching story. Essentially I think this is something that is for fans. It is good may be good enough to stand alone. But only MCR fans will really enjoy it (even if the timeline wasn't rewritten).
