The long-brewing adaptation of My Chemical Romance frontman and comic writer Gerard Way's The Umbrella Academy, is being rumoured to have finally found a home with Netflix.

Bleeding Cool first reported that the Young Animal title by Gerard Way, Nick Berington and Michael Allred, Doom Patrol, had seen its orders for issues #7, #8 and #9 cancelled by DC Comics over extreme lateness.  We also pointed out the soonest they could return, due to solicitation schedules, was in July.

Throughout his comics career, Claudio Sanchez has always found himself frustratingly one step behind Gerard Way While Sanchez sang with his band Coheed and Cambria for five years before being able to parlay it into a comics career in 2000, Way had been writing comics since 1993, and just kind of fell into success with[...]

Back in November, when Bleeding Cool learned that Doom Patrol, the flagship book of Gerard Way's Young Animal label, would see its fourth issue pushed back two weeks, to December 28th, we reasoned, at least it has expanded to 40 pages with no price increase When Bleeding Cool noticed that DC's March solicitations contained no[...]

By Joe Glass After the craziest line I have ever had to wait in for a comics panel at any comic con, I finally managed to get in for the panel where so many were wanting to get in to learn more about this new line for DC and see the mastermind behind it all, Gerard[...]

Last year at the North Carolina Comicon, at Durham Convention Center, Bleeding Cool reported that Gerard Way talked about bringing back his Doom Patrol pitch. And so it came to pass.

Gerard Way has been giving more sneak peeks into the upcoming Young Animal mature readers line from DC Comics.

Like they used to do. And the Becky Cloonan/Gerard Way Doom Patrol book will be a flagship title for the imprint, leading up until the Sandman Spin Off books, based on ideas by Neil Gaiman, are launched before Christmas. DC Comics did not respond to enquiries made yesterday. I am told that DC's Vertigo is undergoing a similar[...]

And that people couldn't repitch pre-Rebirth pitches anymore? Well, it may be different if you are a rock star. I understand that the considerable swell of interest in a Gerard Way/Becky Cloonan Doom Patrol at DC Comics has solidified into something that may now actually be happening. Whether they are just using Becky's designs or more, I don't[...]

The panel featuring their headliners Charlie Adlard and Gerard Way, moderated by Tommy Lee Edwards opened up for Q & A, and I asked my burning question to Gerard I asked, "You say you loved X-Men, and interned for DC Comic, and they have a property that could use some help that's very similar to the[...]

And comics news reporting sites become implicit in that market distortion every time we run them as a story. Latour and Rodriguez' first appearance of Spider-Gwen in Edge Of Spider-Verse #2 gets a third printing, as the standard cover for first printing sells for up to $37 on eBay, unslabbed. While Gerard Way's Edge Of Spider-Verse #5[...]

Edge Of Spider-Verse #5, written by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way and published today Expect lines. And featuring the ultra-cool SP//dr alternate universe character of a young woman, a spider and a massive Spider-based super suit that combines a number of Japanese comic book genres together into one totally bad ass character. It's awesome. But what's also awesome[...]

EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE #5 (OF 5) & VAR ($3.99, FOC 09/22/14) will be written by a TBD writer, not Gerard Way which was previously solicited. Oh dear.
