The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem is the story of the original Killjoy, Mike Milligram. Before Party Poison and the rest of the Fabulous Four were born with My Chemical Romance’s 2010 album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and before Val Velocity and co. swept the pages of the 2013 comic series that expanded upon the Danger Days lore … there was another story — an idea that started it all. Simon and Way’s original plan for the Killjoys began in 2008, though it fizzled out before it could come to fruition. Now, over a decade later, the two have teamed up with the epic team of artist Leonardo Romero, letterer Nate Piekos, and colorist Jordie Bellaire to finally tell the story of Mike Milligram.
The Fabulous Killjoys, once a group of teenage exterminators determined to save reality, have lost their way — and their memories. After a period of mental confinement, former Killjoys leader Mike Milligram gets de-programmed and hits the road to bring the gang back together for a final showdown against an evil pharmaceutical corporation, their monstrous hitman, and savage gang rivals.
Issue #1 of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem will hit shelves next Wednesday, October 14 via Dark Horse Comics. Check out our preview post to learn more about the upcoming series!
