Meet My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way
Brace yourself for an emo onslaught because My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way is coming to London.
The singer and artist will be meeting fans and signing copies of his first graphic novel 'The Umbrella Academy' at the Forbidden Planet Megastore in Shaftsbury Avenue.
The two hour signing is due to take place on November 14 between 12 and 2pm, a day ahead of My Chemical Romance's live show at London's O2 Arena on November 15.
'The Umbrella Academy' - which Way wrote and designed with artist Garbriel Ba and cover artist James Jean -focusses on a central character Sir Reginald Hargreeves; a "World-renowned scientist and inventor, intrepid adventurer, successful entrepreneur, champion cricketer, and closet space-alien." Obviously.
An official statement also reveals that the six edition long series tells the story of six other central characters who along with Hargreeves were trained from birth to protect the world.
"When the series starts", it reads, "The superheroes have disbanded and gone their separate ways but, after the death of the man who bought them all together, The Monocle, they have to put the past behind them and join forces again to save the world."
Entrance to the signing is free but tickets to the London show as well as My Chemical Romance's other UK dates can be purchased from the Xfm Xchange on 0871 222 1049 or from the Xfm Online Ticket Shop by clicking here.
