Look alive, Sunshine! It's time for another Book Club episode. Gen and Jette discuss The True Live of the Fabulous Killjoys: California by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon, and Becky Cloonan. It's a great conversation about storytelling, graphic novels, and dystopian aesthetics.
\n
\nShow notes:
\nKilljoys may have begun as an idea for a comic book series, but it first came to life on My Chemical Romance's album Danger Days. The graphic novel picks up where that story leaves off.
\nWatch the music videos for "Na Na Na" and "SING" for more Killjoys content and to see the where the aesthetic of the comic was born.  
\nThe sequel to Killjoys: California is available in a collected edition called The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem.
\nWe came up with about five different essays we could write based on this book and had a great discussion about the use of colour.
\nGerard Way was cofounder of the DC imprint Young Animal, but both Killjoys and Umbrella Academy were published by Dark Horse Comics.
\nFor more graphic novel goodness, listen to Episode 21 where we discuss Shade, the Changing Girl by Cecil Castellucci.
\nOur next book club book is Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. We'll be discussing this one in our first episode of 2022!
