Any time someone brings it up I get so excited. I'll start explaining that it was written by Gerard Way who was founder and lead singer of mcr. My friends ask me questions about what's going on and the next season as I have the first two comics (apocolypse suit and Dallas) so I'll show them the original drawings for the characters and I found the clay molds and concept art for Pogo online which is so awesome. I feel like I'm in this special club who know about the time Gerard wrote all of this and released it and yeah I know it's the MCRmy but I just feel really included about this and I can share the excitement. I'm so proud of him and his work that everyone's loving so much.

[@nightstorm16]

@@schuylermorgan9627 It's not a special club it's the MCRmy. And by first two you mean the Apocalypse Suite and Dallas graphic novels or the individual issues? Hotel Oblivion is still being written lol. I've been on the hype train for a good five years and I'm super proud of Gee too. From its early roots during the Revenge tour, to being released during Black Pararde era and now it's a TV series (which Gee has created music for with Ray ahhhh) I'm so proud of him.

Right? I had to laugh when he said in a different interview that he "was excited about the role because he'd never seen anything like it." Like... A role in a show where specific people get specific powers and you play the seemingly care-free character who can talk to the dead? mmh interesting :P But to be fair, there are plenty of differences as well that'd be fun to explore.
