So, does Mikey Way have a future in comics?  Well, he did mention a possibility with teaming up with his brother Gerard, who's own project The Umbrella Academy was honored at this year's Eisner Awards, at some point.  But what about his OTHER collaboration with Gerard: their band My Chemical Romance?


Mikey says that the band has NOT been back in the studio as of yet.  "We're taking a long break, so we can come back fully recharged," he explained, citing the only time the band has played together was when they recorded their cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" for next year's movie version of Watchmen.  But apparently they haven't laid down anything for the follow up to The Black Parade, as Mikey says "...what it really boils down to is this band really needed some time off, and that's what we're doing right now. We're getting great time off."

However, just because the band hasn't been in the studio together doesn't mean they haven't been working on new stuff.  Mikey says they're in a constant state of writing and of course there are the rumors that Gerard and MCR's musical genius Ray Toro have been working on demos for the album.  An album which has apparently been titled since My Chemical Romance's small venue tour earlier this year, before their self-imposed hiatus began.

Are you planning to pick up Mikey's comic tomorrow?  Actually, if you are, you should PROBABLY call your local comic shop today to be sure you can get your hands on a copy!  And what do you think about the possibility of Mikey and Gerard collaborating on a comic?  How much longer do you think we'll have to wait for a new My Chemical Romance album?
