Comic Con Panel: Spotlight on Gerard Way

Today’s featured panel was Spotlight on Gerard Way. Way, along with artist Gabriel Ba and Dark Horse’s Scott Allie, sat down to discuss The Umbrella Academy and take some questions from fans. The group talked about creating original super heroes with unique special abilities, artistic influences, the upcoming film adaptation of the comic book and lots of other topics.

Fans asked Way about the next My Chemical Romance album. He didn’t go into specifics, but talked about creating songs and inspirations. He also briefly mentioned the upcoming Umbrella Academy film, though he was strictly forbidden to give away any real details. One fan presented him with custom Lego figures of characters from his comic. He also took random questions about being a father and even his favorite fictional bounty hunter.

    Dear Everyone,

    It’s Gerard’s own freaking hair. He’s still an odd sweet creepy geeky dude in tight pants with a lot of crazy artistic vision, and that’s what I’ve always loved about him. To object to something like hair color is pointless.

If you are planning to use any of these photos on your blog, facebook, twitter, etc., please make sure the watermark is clearly visible–in other words, don’t crop it out or use some iPhoto effect to cover it up–because these photos are the property of Trashwire, LLC. I don’t have a problem with you guys posting these around, in fact, it’s great to see that other MCR/Gerard Way fans like our pics, but don’t be jerks. Throw in a simple “(c) Trashwire.com” or “Photo credit: Trashwire.com” and you can post to your heart’s content.
