At low-budget ceremony...

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way married his long term girlfriend earlier this week, according to reports.

The low-budget ceremony is reported to have taken place backstage after the band supported Linkin Park at the Projekt Revolution concert at Coors Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado on Monday (September 3rd).

According to Perez, the ceremony was overseen by an official from concert promoter Live Nation who also happened to be an ordained minister.

The reported marriage makes Way the second member of My Chemical Romance to get married in a low-key ceremony.

Earlier this year, Way’s brother and bandmate, Mikey, was married by a friend who is also an ordained priest.

Celebrities dipping their names into comics is nothing new—we’ve all seen the back issues adorned with the authorized likenesses of Kiss, the Undertaker, Mr. T, even Pat Boone. But My Chemical Romance’s lead singer Gerard Way hopes to blow them all out of the water with his Dark Horse title The Umbrella Academy. The former DC Comics intern is formally trained in the sequential arts and has been working on the project in the free time he’s had on tour, even snapping photos for cover ideas with his camera phone.

We caught up with the rocker for…

A Mannsville teen was one of several people injured in a mosh pit at a State Fair concert last night.

Officials estimate 30 to 40 people were injured during the Projekt Revolution concert at the State Fair Grandstand. The concert featured Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday.

According to reports, a group from the audience was in a mosh pit during the My Chemical Romance concert, when emergency responders were called to a “Level 2 Mass Causality Incident,” which they say is standard when there were this many injuries. They say some people have head injuries, some concussions, and some people were unconscious.

13-year-old Stephennie Nichols, of Mannsville, said from her infirmary bed that people were "crowd surfing," and "this big guy kicked me in…

Sure, Linkin Park was listed as the headliner as the Projekt Revolution tour arrived at the New York State Fair Tuesday.

That doesn't mean they were the main act of the night.

That honor, due to a combination of audience enthusiasm and extreme showmanship, was bestowed upon My Chemical Romance.

This has very little, though, to do with the band. In the greater scheme of musical talent, My Chemical Romance is just not that great. They are a mildly interesting alternative rock band with a slew of mildly catchy radio hits, all of which were played during the show.

What separated this band from the 11 others that played during the…

My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way has produced his first comic book called The Umbrella Man.

Talking about his latest venture the 'Black Parade' singer told NME: "This is the kind of superhero book that needs to exist and they don't exist anymore. I want to do work that pushes the boundary and I want people to love it.

"I hope it gets people into comic store who normally wouldn't go there. That's a success to me."

The rocker added: "That's why I'm finally happy to talk about it in music magazines, because the point is to show people how much great stuff is out there. Comics are a struggling art form. I'm psyched about it."

Way worked with artist Gabriel Ba on the comics, which are released on September 19 and are published by Dark Horse Comics.

The singer's graphic novels reportedly chart the adventures of seven troubled superheroes who try to…

My Chemical Romance

Here's some news to make any My Chemical Romance fan wear black, if they weren't already: Gerard Way says there won't be another MCR album for quite awhile.

"I think it will be a couple of years before there's another record," says the MCR frontman, on the phone from New York last week. "I would say about 2009."

Cue the tear-smeared eyeliner.

Way says the band will go on a hiatus of sorts "to really evaluate what the band is, to reshape it yet again," following its 2006 epic "The Black Parade." That album, an ambitious rock opera about life, death, hope and fear, established the New Jersey five-piece as one of today's most ambitious and grandiose bands.

But don't fret yet -- touring commitments will keep the band on the road for the better part of the…

Any generation of teenagers would worship a band like My Chemical Romance. They seem to have an unfailing direct line to the most emotionally troubled of today's teens. This song is both a rallying cry and an explanation for those who are listening. Oh, and it's one of the catchiest singles of the year.

This week's rumor about the next rock demi-god moving to Portland revolves around Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. Not only is Way in business with Dark Horse comics (Way's first Dark Horse series, "The Umbrella Academy," debuts in September), but he sounds pretty taken with our town, as well. In a July interview on the Comic Book Resources Web site, Way says of the Rose City: "I'm actually moving here in September." Of Portland's creative community, Way says: "That's really what attracted me. The main thing I look for in a place to live, or have been looking for since I started traveling a lot, is where are the artists. . . . When I got to Portland, I discovered a lot of very cool artists and it's a lot more my speed. I like trees and stuff like that, too." Spoken like a true Portlander.

Buffy creator Joss Whedon, My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, and more take part in the return of one of the most storied anthologies in comics history with a little help from everyone's favorite internet addiction: MySpace.

 Webcomics are, for the most part, a different world than standard comics. Physically, they are in a different world. They're typically free and always online. Aside from the occasional printed anthology, there isn't anything tangible about them; they force the reader to stay at the computer. Perhaps this is why many webcomics are single-panel or short gag strips.

Adventure and superhero comics are different. They cost money, but in return they last longer and the reader gets something he or she can carry around, share, and read anywhere.

In a way, webcomics are like internet friends. They exist and they can be just as satisfying…
