MCR News, Comic Book Reviews Kick-Ass, Captain America, more

Breaking News: Lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way is calling Umbrella Academy his debut comic. BUT, we dug up a comic he published way back when he was in high school called "On Raven's Wings".

Mark Millar and John Romita take on real life people getting into superhero suits in Kick-Ass #1. This "real life" superhero even has a MySpace profile. Is this a gimmick or is it a book worth picking up? Find out in this review.

Is Thor #6 the Thor we've been waiting for? It's still early on in this series, but we think this book has finally arrived with this issue.

Then Captain America #35, continues the great story arc with Bucky as the new Captain America. Justin calls it "an event comic written like a regular comic".

In this Speed Round, we check out Good & Evil #1 which actually had some unexpected Biblical overtones, Ex Machina #34, Brave and The Bold #10 which is fun old school comic book action, Abyss #3, and Locke & Key #1 written by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son.

In the mailbag: Metamorphic asks about our take on Mini-Series. Do more minis mean less attention to long-running series? Are more minis a good thing?

I wonder why they took your chairs away? Was it because of bad Pete. Nothin worse than a bad Peter.... sorry for the Pun I have no self-respect (hangs head in shame)

We thought it was time to ditch the chairs. Gives Pete more opportunities to dance.

Big fan of Cap. America. I'm also a big fan so far of this new book released called "You Have A College Degree, Now What?"

I don't care if it's Gees first or second comic...and it shouldn't be news...past is past... If he wanted that comic not to be under his name...he should be allowed too...people say it was for the money...but did he see it coming when he was 16? Maybe, he ust wanted to share something with the world...anonymously....(sorry about spelling...I'm suppperr tired coz I haven't been able to sleep in 4 days...)

i went to your blog about the "real first" Gerard way comic and it was funny because everyone is making such a big deal of it saying "he lied to us, how dare he!"

same here, i personally felt it had a hell of a cliffhanger but the "others" statement made it sound more like more people would do this after his time.
