Book Description
My Chemical Romance emerged from New Jersey in the aftermath of the 9/11 atrocity to become the standard bearers for a new fusion of punk, glam and emo. After steadily building a committed and enthusiastic following on the back of their first two albums, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' (2002) and 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' (2004), MCR achieved global prominence in 2006 with the release of their platinum selling album 'Welcome To The Black Parade'. Followed by Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (2010). Until their disbandment in 2013, MCR toured extensively throughout the world, adding to their widespread fan base with incendiary, sold-out live shows that established the quintet as the emerging force in alternative rock. 'This Band Will Save Your Life' tells the definitive story of the groundbreaking band; examining their influences and ethos and charting their rise from obscurity to the apex of the post millennial rock pantheon.

Book Description
"From celebrated music writer Dan Ozzi comes a comprehensive chronicle of the punk music scene's evolution from the early nineties to the mid-aughts, following eleven bands as they dissolved, "sold out," and rose to surprise stardom. From its inception, punk music has been identified by two factors: its proximity to "authenticity," and its reliance on an antiestablishment ethos. Yet, in the mid- to late '90s, major record labels sought to capitalize on punk's rebellious undertones, leading to a schism in the scene: to accept the cash flow of the majors, or stick to indie cred?Sellout chronicles the evolution of the punk scene during this era, focusing on prominent bands as they experienced the last "gold rush" of the music industry. Within it, music writer Dan Ozzi follows the rise of successful bands like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, as well as the implosion of groups like Jawbreaker and At the Drive-In, who buckled under the pressure of their striving labels. Featuring original interviews and personal stories from members of eleven of modern punk's most (in)famous bands, Sellout is the history of the evolution of the music industry, and a punk rock lover's guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

In _The Umbrella Academy: Dallas_ #2, Spaceboy watches reality TV and Number Five lies low in a seedy motel.

Only one member of the team understands the danger that lies ahead; the massacre in Costello's Diner has raised some suspicions of what's happened, and what's to come. At the heart of this, the Umbrella Academy feels the loss of Pogo, the chimp that had held them together since childhood, and resorts to remedies that won't help, and, sadly, won't cure boredom. **2008 Eisner Award winnerBest Limited Series and Best Cover Artist!**
