I am VERY interested in the story he said was the original idea behind the Killjoy comics with the teens who shape reality by tapping into their trauma...

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

Yes, same!! I'm also curious where that falls between the old Mike Milligram idea and what it eventually became. Also, like, how literally does he mean about the shaping reality thing, on a scale from influencing the world around them to actual magical powers? Very intriguing. I do love the Killjoy universe :)

[@gabrieljimenez9762]

@@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist Considering that Morrison is such an influence on him and he's in the music videos, I would bet more on the magical side, literally bending reality.

Gerard really worked his ass off to get where he is, this was a great interview and really insightful.

[@donnovanknight]

Great interview, I think it’s interesting because I’m a fan of his comics, and my kids are fans of MCR. And they like his comics too now, but they didn’t know he made them until I showed them. I like seeing what’s in people spaces and noticed he has a Freewrite device, one of those distraction free tools. Kind of curious if he actually uses it. Almost think he might since he started writing with actual typewriters. I can’t seem to write anything with my computer, there’s just too many distractions. So, I have some of those Alphasmart Neo’s that I can write with.

[@bandersnatchcucumberpatch]

MCR reference?

[@eneswk]

I've actually been a fan of MCR for several years now but I finally decided I wanna try to get into comics, last week it just hit me...inspired by Gerard of course but Idk, I really got this feeling suddenly that this is a thing I wanna truly dive into. I just turned 27 last week also, and I don't know If is kinda late to get into this but it feels right, so, I just bought my first 3 comics (including Kill your boyfriend, which I've heard Gerard recommend before) and I'm reaaally excited to see where this takes me creatively, although I work in post production and video editing, but I'm sure I can find great visual inspiration. This was a great interview and it feels like a confirmation that this is a great time to start, so thanks for this!

[@jasongott1094]

It's never too late! Gerard's comics are really great, especially Doom Patrol and Umbrella Academy. Some of the books he mentions are not 'beginner' comics - Faust especially. It's a great comic but super violent and super sexual.

[@aliceigins]

I just turn 20 years old and wanna dive in comic making too. I really don't know where to start actually but maybe you want to share some ideas or work on something together? My email is [e-mail] 😊

[@natashahahahahaha4266]

Dude it's never too late to start 🙌 I used to draw paint etc before I had kids.. Once they came along all my drive went out the window 🤣but now there older and I'm stuck at home I've.. Got out the canvas paints and yep probably missed out on 6 years of artistic development! But now am not looking back so grab it by the balls and throw yourself into the magic of comic art etc it's mighty fun 💚💚

[@serenaramirez9563]

i get what he’s saying about the whole marching band thing, lots of kids in band think if you don’t listen to crazy complicated material, it’s not good. i’m in band, but the friends i stick with listen to around the same music as me. mcr, misfits, panic!, smashing pumpkins, etc. but on top of that i listen to jazz, classical music, classic rock. some people just have very close minded opinions on what makes music good and just it being complicated shouldn’t be it.

He seemed a lot happy here than we’ve seen in the past few years. I’m so glad people are still listening to his music and mostly I’m just glad he’s doing good. I know some mcr stuff was apparently cringey, but I honestly believe it changed my life. Listening to their music was one of the only things that made me happy as a kid/teen.
