My Chemical Romance will incorporate theatrics and visual storytelling on their forthcoming world tour. The New Jersey rockers released the concept album ‘The Black Parade’ last year, which revolves around the death of a young man from Cancer, and the band reveal that they’ll be pulling out all the stops for the live experience, which kicks off with a U.S. tour from Feb. 22. “The story’s gonna be told visually this time around.

SAYREVILLE, New Jersey – This small Jersey ‘burb is pretty far removed from Banda Aceh or Phuket (and even though it’s Jon Bon Jovi’s hometown, it’s pretty far removed from Manhattan, too).

We chat with LIGHTS about her new album + comic ‘Skin & Earth’. Then we lose our minds over the Black Panther trailer, and Geek Actually’s Rachel Stuhler joins us. Finally, we discuss the epic showdown of Gail Simone vs. The Mummy.
‘It will be quite awhile before there’s another My Chemical Romance album,’ front man says at Comic-Con 2007. My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way has always loved comic books. His first job, in high school, was at a local comic book shop in New Jersey. He didn’t actually collect a paycheck each week – his compensation came in the form of free comic books. He idolized the likes of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Frank Miller and Grant Morrison.
