Music career

2001–2013: My Chemical Romance

As teenagers, Gerard and his brother Mikey Way, who later became the
bassist of My Chemical Romance, were influenced by artists including
Iron Maiden, The Misfits, Danzig, Black Flag, Queen, Pulp, Alkaline Trio,
Blur, Morrissey, and The Smiths.[11] Way originally wanted to be a
guitarist. His grandmother bought him his first guitar at the age of eight,
and he played in short-lived bands such as Ray Gun Jones and Nancy
Drew with future bandmate Ray Toro. When he was not successful (one
band kicked him out due to his lack of skill with the guitar), he chose to
concentrate on his art career.[12]

Way was working as an intern for Cartoon Network in New York City
Gerard Way in Montreal,
during the September 11, 2001 attacks. Seeing the effects of the attacks Quebec, during the Honda
first-hand prompted Way to change his views on life in the following Civic Tour in August 2011
weeks. He told Spin magazine, "I literally said to myself, 'Fuck art. I've
gotta get out of the basement. I've gotta see the world. I've gotta make a
difference.'"[13] To help deal with the emotional effects the attacks had on him, Way wrote the lyrics to the
song "Skylines and Turnstiles", which became the first song by My Chemical Romance.[14]

Way has also contributed vocally to other bands' songs such as Every Time I Die's "Kill the Music", Head
Automatica's "Graduation Day", Say Anything's "In Defense of the Genre", and The Oval Portrait's "From
My Cold Dead Hands" and "Barnabus Collins Has More Skeletons in His Closet Than Vincent
Price".[15][16][17]

In interviews, Way has stated that music and his artwork were effective
outlets for his longtime battles against depression, alcoholism, and
prescription drug abuse. Using music to resolve personal battles has also
led Way to create deeply personal songs such as "Helena", which he wrote
in memory of his late grandmother.[18]

On March 22, 2013, My Chemical Romance announced their break up.[19]

2014–2016: Hesitant Alien

In May 2014, Way launched his Tumblr-based website where he
announced that he had signed to Warner Bros. Records as a solo artist and
was nearing completion of his first solo album.[20] Further to this he
announced a new song, "Action Cat", released later in June as a Way performing in 2012
promotional single to his new album[21][22] and his first solo shows at
Reading and Leeds Festivals 2014.[23] He later announced another solo
 performance that took place at Portsmouth's Wedgewood Rooms on
August 20.[24] On August 19, Way streamed a new music video for the
song "No Shows",[25] released as the first single off the new album on
August 19. The album, titled Hesitant Alien, was released on September
30, 2014.[26]

When Way was asked why he chose to implement the Britpop genre into
his music he stated that he enjoyed the energy and style of the music and
its scene, and was urged to revive aspects of the genre in America.[27]

2018–present: Later solo singles and reunion

On October 26, 2018, Way released his first major solo single in over two

single "gives a peek of where [Way] will be headed musically," according
to a statement released by Way.[34]

On December 14, Way released a third single, "Dasher", which features additional vocals from Lydia Night
of The Regrettes.[35] The single is a Christmas-themed story about a girl who falls in love with a reindeer as
they await to be reunited after a long absence.[36]

On January 24, 2019, Way released a cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter" by Simon & Garfunkel, once again

Angeles on December 20 and a new merchandise line.[39] They later announced a 2020 North American

Other musical collaborations

In 2008, Way and musical project Julien-K remixed a
version of the song "Sleep When I'm Dead" by The
Cure for their EP Hypnagogic States. All profits gained
from the sales of the EP go to funding the International
Red Cross.[43]

In early 2009, Way and Japanese singer Kyosuke

Himuro co-produced the new theme song for Final Gerard Way performing with My Chemical
Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete, the Blu-ray Romance in Edinburgh as part of the World
director's cut of the movie sequel to the popular video Contamination Tour in 2010
game, Final Fantasy VII. He is also credited with
writing the lyrics, and singing alongside Himuro. The
song, titled "Safe and Sound", was released on iTunes on April 29, 2009.[44] "Safe and Sound" is only
heard on the Japanese release of the film; the English release uses Himuro's "Calling" (the original ending
theme for Advent Children) in place of it. He also contributed vocals for the vocal mix of the deadmau5
song "Professional Griefers".[45]

Heafy.[51]

Other ventures

1993–present: Writing
Way's first attempt at writing a comic was at the age of 16 in 1993, writing a comic book series called On
Raven's Wings, published by Hart D. Fisher's Boneyard Press. The series was cancelled after the second
issue, however, due to the loss of its art team. Way was credited as Garry Way.[52]

In 2007, Way began writing the comic-book miniseries The Umbrella Academy. Way wrote the story and
illustrated the original version, but cartoonist Gabriel Bá redrew the art in the first volume, Apocalypse
Suite.[2]

Apocalypse Suite was first released by Dark Horse Comics in their Free Comic Book Day issue on May 5,
2007.[53] Since then, an eight-page story has been published entitled "Safe & Sound", which appeared in a
collection of stories entitled MySpace Dark Horse Presents Volume One.[54] The first official issue of The
Umbrella Academy was released on September 19, 2007.[55] The first issue sold out and consequently there
was a second printing released on October 17, 2007.[56] Apocalypse Suite also won the 2008 Eisner Award
for Best Limited Series.[57] The next installment of the series, Dallas, was released on November 26,
2008,[58] and, following speculation that Way had retired indefinitely from comics, a third installment
entitled Hotel Oblivion was released in 2018–2019.[59]

Way and fellow artists Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan co-created another comic-book series entitled The
True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, which Way announced at 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. At the 2012
New York Comic Con, the team announced that the first look at the series would be released on 2013's Free
Comic Book Day. The series continued the concepts introduced in the My Chemical Romance album of a
similar title.[60]

In 2011, My Chemical Romance stated that Mikey and Gerard were working on another comic book
project which they had kept under wraps since mid-2009. As of 2015 nothing of this project has
emerged.[61]

On December 21, 2013, Gerard Way stated that he and Gabriel Bá will be working on parts three and four
of his comic book series Umbrella Academy beginning in the new year.[62]

In a podcast interview on December 31, 2013, with Chris Thompson from Pop Culture Hound, Way
discussed his new Umbrella Academy series in more detail and confirmed he would do two volumes back-
to-back, with a couple of flashback issues in-between. In addition, he discussed his new comic series All
Ages which first appeared as a series of images on his Twitter feed. Although the project doesn't have a
publisher or an artist at this stage, he is actively working on the story of cats in high school who are
discovering their place in the world.[63]

In 2014, it was announced that Way will be making his debut in the Marvel Universe by writing for the
alternate universe Spider-Man series Edge of Spider-Verse.[64] His story introduced Peni Parker, a Japanese-
American student who pilots a bio-mechanical suit named SP//dr.[65]
On March 21, 2024, Way announced a new comic book series Paranoid Gardens, with the first issue
releasing in July. [66]

2001–present: Television
In 2001, Way co-created a cartoon with Joe Boyle called The
Breakfast Monkey. They pitched it to Cartoon Network, but the
network declined to pick up the concept on the grounds that it was
too similar to the existing property Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[67]

In 2013, Way made his television directorial debut on The Hub

original series The Aquabats! Super Show!, co-directing and co-
writing the season two finale "The AntiBats!" with series co-
Way promoting his comic book
creators Christian Jacobs and Jason deVilliers. Additionally, Way's projects with DC Comics at the 2017
brother Mikey appears in the episode, playing the lead singer of a WonderCon
fictional death metal band called Asthma.[68][69][70] The following
year, Way, as part of the show's writing team, was nominated for a
Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Writing in a Children's Series".[71]

In 2018, the character Peni Parker who he co-created appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.[72]

Since 2019, Way has served as co-executive producer on the television series adaptation of The Umbrella
Academy.[73]

Personal life
Way struggled with alcoholism and prescription drug addiction for many
years but as of 2007 was maintaining sobriety.[6] In a November 2010
issue of Spin magazine, he said that having become a happier person and
feeling more in control, he had been able to enjoy the occasional
recreational drink.[74]

On September 3, 2007, after a concert in Colorado, Way married Lyn-Z,

bassist of Mindless Self Indulgence, backstage on the final date of the
Projekt Revolution tour. A member of Live Nation's touring staff who was
also an ordained minister performed the low-key ceremony.[75] Their
daughter was born on May 27, 2009. They live in Los Angeles.[76]
Way in 2012
Way was raised Catholic, stating in 2006 that he was "not Catholic
anymore",[77] and in 2013 that he was a theist who "had always
acknowledged [he] received [...] artistic gifts from God".[78]

In 2014, Way began openly discussing his gender identity struggles online and in interviews. In a Reddit
Ask Me Anything (AMA) hosted by Way in October 2014, he stated:

"I have always been extremely sensitive to those that have gender identity issues as I feel like I
have gone through it as well, if even on a smaller scale. I have always identified a fair amount
with the female gender, and began at a certain point in MCR to express this through my look
 and performance style. So it's no surprise that all of my inspirations and style influences were
pushing gender boundaries. Freddy [sic] Mercury, Bowie, Iggy, early glam, T-Rex.
Masculinity to me has always made me feel like it wasn't right for me."[79][80][81]

In January 2015, Way was featured in The Boyzine, an independent zine published by SWMRS frontman
Cole Becker. Way again discussed his gender identity, commenting:

"I never really subscribed to the archetype masculinity growing up, I had no interest in sports
or anything like that. There was a time where I was called a girl so often that when I
discovered the idea of transgenderism I considered myself to be more of a girl. So I identify
with trans people and women a lot because I was a girl to a lot of people growing up."[82]

In June 2015, Way said on Twitter that he uses he and they pronouns.[1]

In 2015, Way revealed on Reddit that he is a first cousin once removed of comedian Joe Rogan. In October
2019, Rogan confirmed it on his podcast. He also said that, despite this, the two have never met.[83]
