My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way returns with more Killjoys
The original inspiration for My꧒ Chemical Romance’s Danger Days gets a sequel

With the second sea⛎son of Netflix's The 🐲Umbrella Academy debuting in a week's time, Gerard Way's other creator-owned comic book series The True Lives of thꦚe Fabulous Killjoys has been announced as returning later this year for a sequel.
Scheduled to debut October 14, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem reunites Way with his long-time writing colleague Shaun Simon to continue the a♐dventures of the Killjoys - but transposing them from the post-apocalyptic future of the first seriಞes and back into present-day America.
"After the Analog Wars, the Killjoys lost their way — and their memories," reads the description of the new six-issue se♎ries. "A rat chews through Mike Milligram's TV cord, and reality unravels. But when his Ramones records disappear, Mike remembers what th𒐪e Fabulous Killjoys and some toy rayguns can do."



Original series artist Becky Cloonan is segueing over to drawing variant covers, with Hawkeye artists Leo🥃nardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire joining the creative team to draw interior pages and the primary covers for all six issues.
"Gerard Way and Shaun Simon take it all back to their original concept, rebooting the Killjoys in present-day America, whꦺere it’s impossible to tell what’s real and what Mom and Dad just tell you to keep you calm," Dark Horse writes o♒f the new series.
The comic series originated with My Chemical Romance's 2010 concept album . Way and his te👍am followed that up with a 2013 sequel in comic books, (later subtitled 'California'). The new seriꦺes, National Anthem, continues that story.
The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem #1 (o🍎f 6) is due out on 📖October 14.
