The Umbrella Academy Book and Figure set reviews

by Mellon Collie on June 2, 2009

the-umbrella-academy-book-and-figure-boxIt has been a few weeks since the release of this great 152-page hardcover Umbrella Academy book and figure set and the fans are talking. For this book and figure set, Vanya was chosen, a.k.a. “The White Violin.”

She’s a standout character in the series, defying her family and showing a vindictive, violent streak.

A 5″ x 7.5″ hardcover of the trade paperback has been created for this set, featuring original Gabriel Ba cover art. Here’s some of the things they’re saying:

“The figurine is on the top shelf in her room like it is an item of worship.”

“Definitely a must-have for any fan of the series.”

“It feels like something you would get in a happy meal from a fast food restaurant.”

    Bandit Lee Way

    by Mellon Collie on May 28, 2009

    from blogs.myspace.com/mindlessselfindulgence

    Mindless Self Indulgence bassist Lyn-Z and her husband, My Chemical Romance vocalist and comic book writer Gerard Way, welcomed a baby girl into the world yesterday afternoon.

    Their daughter, Bandit Lee Way, was born in Los Angeles at 2:57 P.M. on May 27th and weighs 6 lbs., 5.6 oz. “Everyone is healthy and happy.” Says a rep for the couple.

    Gerard said he is “very excited” about fatherhood, adding: “I don’t know that I ever thought about having a kid, but then I also didn’t expect to meet Lyn-Z. When I met her I knew she’d be the one person I could have a kid with.”

    Lyn-Z and Gerard were married in September 2007 after MCR and MSI toured together on Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution. They announced the pregnancy in November. This is their first child.
