      • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is an American comic book limited series written by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon, illustrated by Becky Cloonan and published by Dark Horse Comics. The series serves as a sequel to the My Chemical Romance album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, focusing on the followers of a group of vigilantes trying to continue their fight against a tyrannical megacorporation in a post-apocalyptic future.


      Synopsis


      Following the aftermath of the first battle waged during Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the group's followers have kept to the desert while Better Living Industries continues to "strip citizens of their individuality". Only The Girl, the sole survivor of the original Killjoys, can help stir up the fight or join the masses in their mindlessness.


      Development


      Gerard first announced the project, that would be co-written with Shaun Simon, at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con and in 2012 New York Comic Con stated that artist Becky Cloonan would be producing the artwork. He commented that the comic would serve as the final part of the story and that it would not be "as frantic as what people are going to expect". Way also described the story as "a coming of age story about a young girl" and that she would be "[choosing] her own path". On July 21, 2020, Way announced that the original concept of the comic would be created in a new series titled The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem.
