Hey guys! I deeply apologize that this is coming out late, I touched on this a little bit in my Eternity Girl Review, but I’ll mention it again here. I had a series of days where my mental health was a struggle and I was really having a hard time keeping on top of the things I normally do. It happens. I’m ok, so please don’t worry. But that doesn’t give me a pass to give up so here we are doing a better late than never weekly recap.

Sunday 3/11/18

We started the week of right with some rad art from Marley Zarcone!

Wednesday 3/14/18

We got a pretty rad interview with Magdalene Visaggio and Sonny Liew!

.@comicosity chats with ETERNITY GIRL creative team @MagsVisaggs and @sonnyliew about the inspiration behind their protagonist, and how her point of view impacts their story. ETERNITY GIRL #1 available now: https://t.co/3rpPWB7ujG #DCYoungAnimal pic.twitter.com/2wTVBrppdJ

— DC (@DCComics) March 14, 2018

And Gerard made sure to broadcast the news that Eternity Girl was finally released!

ETERNITY GIRL!! OUT NOW! Going full steam ahead on Young Animal Wave 2, here comes a new original series by Magdalene Visaggio, Sonny Liew, Chris Chuckry, and Todd Klein. Young Animal projects are usually developed in-house, after going through old Who’s Whos and picking out some obscure characters and further developing them with creators, but Eternity Girl came in as a pitch that completely blew me away. To me, Eternity Girl, like the core YA books that came before it, represents the kind of comics I want Young Animal to be putting out. Weird, personal, at times abstract, a lot to discover, and absolutely different from anything else out there. Books like Eternity Girl that tackle issues like depression and alienation help define what Young Animal is, and what kind of stories we can tell that relate to the human condition. So please take a look at Issue 1 of this breakthrough new series created by some phenomenal talent. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Cover on the left by Sonny, variant cover on the right by Paulina Ganucheau. And a new editorial in the back written by me, with a Who’s Who file of Eternity Girl herself! #dcyounganimal #dccomics #eternitygirl

— DC (@DCComics) March 15, 2018

And a little insight into what’s in store for Eternity Girl!

The wide range of interpretations I'm seeing for Eternity Girl #1 is really exciting me. Think of it as a wave function; right now, the cat could be alive or dead. Each issue will crack the lid open a little bit further, gradually collapsing the wave function into hard reality.

— Magdalene Visaggio @C2E2 R11 (@MagsVisaggs) March 15, 2018

And we got this rad character design from Sonny Liew.

Friday 3/16/18

We feel like from now on all bad news should come with Danger Days references after we received this post from Gerard letting us know he was unable to officially work on music today because his friend and music engineer, Doug had the flu (but he still wrote a song on his phone he titled ‘Pick Up The Pants’ which we’re ready to hear right now!).

Bad news from The Zones, tumbleweeds— No recording today as my friend Doug is sick, and I don’t know how to use protools or even garage band or anything like that (I know, I should learn). When Doug isn’t helping me, I have to just record into my phone in the voice memos app, singing out the whole song and sometimes playing a guitar along with my vocals. If you ever see me walking around holding my phone near my face and you hear me making sounds with my mouth, that’s me writing a new song. I hope Doug feels better, as he’s got that gnarly flu going around. Which I hope none of you have, but feel better and get some rest if you do. For those of you that don’t know, Doug produced Hesitant Alien and engineered both BP and DD, and is a dear friend. Despite not being able to properly “record”, I  just wrote a song and recorded it into my phone, using the new guitars @Fender bestowed me with. The song is about picking up pants at the dry-cleaner and I’m pretty happy with it. I wrote Pick Up The Pants on the Fender Classic Series ’72 Telecaster Custom (photo 1), which the amazing Michael Schulz brought me. I connected with this guitar right away, bright and springy and fun to play. The second photo is of the other guitar Michael brought me, which I haven’t gotten to dig into yet but I can’t wait to. It’s a Fender American Special Telecaster in Sherwood Green Metallic. Gorgeous guitar, very high-end feeling, classic Telecaster sound. Curious to see how it compares to my 60’s Telecaster Fender put out a few years ago. ⠀ ⠀ It’s actually really fun to share gear pics with you guys and I hope you enjoy taking a look at some of the instruments, amps, pedals, and other tools I use. I’m also planning on sharing a short video on here of me using those new Fender pedals I got, which I think you’ll dig. Hope you all have a great day or evening, and talk soon. Let’s make some stuff! ⠀ xog ⠀ #fender #fenderguitars #telecaster #pants #drycleaning

Not much in the way of official news happened on Saturday. Our staff member, Becks, had a birthday and Lindsey explained why she picked up Ripple.

but she kept trying to leave thru a closed window. wouldn't have picked her up otherwise – birds don't like that shit.

— Lindsey Way (@lynzway) March 17, 2018

And that’s that! Another week down. Well be back sunday with another weekly recap to get this train back on track. Take care everyone! <3

Since the signing we’ve been struggling to get back in the groove of things! I know I know I’m sorry! I’m calling this growing pains. It’s all about learning how to balance everything! But to make up for it we’re doing a massive weekly recap that spans across the past three weeks. Enjoy!

We’re not sure if nothing really happened on this day or if it’s because we were busy driving 12 hours to meet Gerard and missed it, but we had plenty to post about on Saturday!

Saturday 2/24/18

Let’s start with Nick Derington let us know that Doom Patrol is *finally* going to start getting weird. haha!

And here’s one we didn’t take, but was taken while Gerard was talking to me. If you look close he’s holding the business cards and stickers for GWayFUN.com and smiling as he says, “I love these. Thank you!”

— Gerard Way FUN (@GWayFUN) February 24, 2018

And a major thx to Third Eye Comics for being the first signing event for Gerard that I’ve been to that a member of staff didn’t yell at me just for standing in line. I even went to ones where they yelled the entire time at everyone, even while we were talking to Gerard, even though we weren’t going over a time limit with him, they just yelled non stop and truly spoiled the experience. Being yelled at like event staff think they’re cowboys and you’re the cattle doesn’t make you feel very important or special. I truly appreciated that Third Eye understood they didn’t have to do that to keep the line moving in the right order and in a quick fashion.

Major thx to every one who came out & made our #MilkWars signing w/ @gerardway & @thesteveorlando AWESOME today! You rule!

Gerard filled us in that he’s working on new music every Friday!

New Music! New Gear! @Fender Guitars has been a long time supporter of my music, and to get ready to start recording again, my dear friend at Fender, Michael Schulz, gifted me these wonderful music-making things. The first photo is of a guitar I have wanted to check out for a long time, the Kurt Cobain Jaguar. It is, by far, the clearest guitar I have ever played. Instantly sounded like magic, gorgeous to look at, fun to play, and connected to a major influence in my life and music. And it sounds loud and lovely through my 90’s Big Muff pedal and Fender Twin. It’s very pure. Fender custom made one of these left handed for Ian Fowles, a dear friend who played with me on the Hesitant Alien tour, and also jammed with me and pitched in with some song writing during the HA process. They painted it in Daphne Blue, and Ian made so many wonderful sounds when we played live with this guitar. The 2nd photo is of Fender’s new pedal line, which I am very excited to check out and discover sounds with. So many great things to check out. I’ve been friends with Michael for a while now, and he is one of the best humans I have ever called friend. We met through Mikey when Michael helped produce Mikey’s signature bass through Fender, which I’ve also shown here in the 3rd photo. Still my favorite bass. Now, onto the music. It is far too early to have any kind of idea when new music will be coming out from me, or what it will be specifically. Would it be a solo record? A new band? Songs for the Netflix Umbrella Academy show? Something else? Again, too early to tell, but the process has started and happens every Friday at the moment. I’m in the discovery phase, and very excited about that. I’m off to make some sounds— see you soon! #fender #KurtCobain #fuzz #jaguar #effectspedals
