I think Apocalypse Suite would make a great movie if they spread out the details more and included more character background. yeah, I definitely feel that most people are biased because Gerard is most well known because of his work with MCR, but I don’t think he should have to assume a fake name just to get his work recognized.

I seriously think if he kept it on the down-low and went under a fake name, it'd be looked at entirely different from people who say "Oh, My Chemical Romance sucks so this must suck as well." As for the comic itself, the art is great. Yes, in the first series, Apocalypse Suite, the writing is a little weak but only because he's throwing all of this stuff at us at once. You've got to introduce a team and throw in a whole back-story as well as current events with them all at once. I haven't personally read the second series, Dallas, yet but I've heard very good reviews about it. Hopefully Gerard leaves his MCR persona for music and takes a new approach to help with the movie and hopefully it comes out better than people think it'll be.

First of all, who cares if it is? Second of all, MCR's music wouldn't even suit the tone of the books. And Although I don't think that a UA movie would be in the ranks of say, Dark Knight, Iron Man, or Watchmen, it would still make a really awesome cult flick that you watch at two am after a Hellboy double feature or something. And by the way, Gerard is not pretentious at all. He is a great person and a talented writer/musician. and just to be clear, they do not go hand in hand. The comics have nothing to do with the band whatsoever. I for one would love to see the Apocalypse Suite on the big screen :) The Unbrella Academy series is awesome and just because the writer haappens to be in a band does not mean the band’s music will be featured.

It´s a shame that Gerard´s stories are so lame. Gabriel Ba´s art is fantastic! It´s a shame that Gerard´s stories are so lame.
